Excited to see a guy who’s biggest asset is juicing the pace in transition play with Demar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis

I’d recommend turning off replies

Furthermore I struggle to align her two statements here:

1. Young republicans were never like this, I know because I was one.

2. We can win these people over, as I was.

If they are nothing like you, why do you feel they can follow your trajectory?

She’s not wrong that people’s politics change/evolve Over time and I’m sure most of us have held beliefs at younger ages that would embarrass us today. However, that shift is generally (at least not for me) not Via persuasion, but my own maturation/exposure to reality shifting my beliefs

Would think the “no bench” has more to do with protecting incumbents without question through age 95

Lemon and that Hegby guy seems to have an unspoken agreement that they yell at each other with their PR people filming so they can post on social media for clout

lol

Ok, how THEY don’t understand (I know, they understand just fine too I’m sure)

Matty @matt78.bsky.social · 5d

Literally don’t understand how ISP/CCSD presence there is not just a bald-faced repudiation of everything Pritzker and the Cook County board say they believe

Just kick our peppers while we’re down

Both elementary and high schools (Admundsen, LP)

I doubt my list is comprehensive, just heard from friends who have kids at these places. My son goes to Nettelhorst and said they were there about 20 mins before dismissal harassing nannies

The Broadview Protests were escalating towards “ICE will kill people” prior to ISP’s deployment. I don’t love what ISP is doing at all but they are serving a purpose.

They’ve been loitering outside most CPS schools on the north side waiting for dismissal as the schools wouldn’t let them in - Hawthorne, Nettelhorst, Lincoln, Admundson, Lincoln Park, others

In all sincerity - Zach Bryan is good and is not Nashville-machine big-cowboy hat country. Hes just a singer/songwriter with a twang

1. Wait til he finds out about the Cake Shake.

2. I normally try to steer out of towners to Tavern Style but I know a deep dish boy when I see one.

Is that Rick Reilly from Sports Illustrated way back when

$50k signing bonuses are being advertised on tv. That’s a lot of money.

What’s CPD doing? Are they just creating a physical barrier between protestors and the feds, or are they pushing the protestors around?

Matty @matt78.bsky.social · 12d

Is it bad that a game I’ve looked forward to for 48 hours is over in like 18 minutes

@govpritzker.illinois.gov

Why is the Illinois state police being deployed to insure ICE can do their “jobs“ without protestor interference?

Matty @matt78.bsky.social · 15d

Hoisted by my own petard

Aroldis Chapman unable to get move than three outs!? Well now I’ve heard it all

Ie, the reason why you cannot find an Israeli leader who is not radicalized on the Palestinian issue is because every single one of them was conscripted at a young age to repress Palestinians

Matty @matt78.bsky.social · 17d

Yair Golan is a reserve general in the IDF, the only way he is “left” is by comparison, not in absolute terms. He commanded the unit responsible for suppressing both Infitadas. I think this is a product of mandatory military service - the requirement is a radicalizing tool for all Israelis.

Ah, the bizarro lathe of heaven
