Blake Treinen in the bullpen watching a six-hour YouTube video about chemtrails and who REALLY profits from weather modification on his phone. This is part of his process. He can't give up three straight doubles unless he's in the right mindset.

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Ultimately the below says a lot, about why we're here and how to get out.

Making TV networks bend the knee doesn't help folks pay the bills or the rent.

Petty billionaire tyrant vengeance is no substitute for improving people's lives, and that's where resistance focus needs to be.
Late rent payments have jumped up.

In recent months, the percent of tenants who are late on rent has risen toward 12%.

But that’s not the whole story 🧵

Charles Koch and rightwing billionaires have funneled money to academics to study polarization over the past ten years exactly because they WANTED political science and elites to focus on polarization being bad—to distract from Republicans being bad.

Hoover ran “polarization“ fellowships.
So much of the absurdity in how some elites talk about Charlie Kirk—or navigate the authoritarian politics of this regime—stems from political science’s and the elite class’s fixation on polarization, and the misguided belief that it’s inherently bad and that the “remedy” is civil submission.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*.

There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

Are you willing to help pass Prop 50 to SAVE DEMOCRACY. It's empowering to make these calls.

Volunteer or donate!

No matter what state you live in, we need your help calling California voters.

Many voters didn't know about Prop 50. I made the difference, and so can you.

Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act
Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

Here's the final part of the Better Offline guide to arguing with AI boosters. I walk you through why gen AI is nothing like AWS, how the media misled the public about ChatGPT, and why its popularity doesn't mean it’s a mass-market product.

WSJ edit board spins a fantasy: "for Mr. Trump, while this is a moment of personal sadness, it is also an opportunity for leadership...he can help the country rise above this madness. He can say that this is the moment when the descent into political violence must stop.”
Meanwhile — no, he can’t:
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.
Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

Please watch this video. Repost it. Record and post just like this guy did.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

In fairness, RFK Jr. is basing this on an unscientific sampling of glory holes.
