Two months ago, U.S. Border Patrol posted a hype video, featuring the “banned” version of Michael Jackson’s 1995 song “They Don’t Care About Us,” including its infamous antisemitic slurs.

While Border Patrol remained silent, antisemitic accounts on Twitter celebrated the government’s post.

Border Patrol won’t say why it used a Michael Jackson song with antisemitic lyrics

The video was live on Facebook and Instagram for two months.

This delay is not procedural, it is intentional. Speaker Johnson is doing everything in his power to shield this administration from accountability.

Vance telling people to “grow up” about Young Republicans joking about gas chambers and r**e says it all. The bare minimum of decency is to say, “Yes, this is wrong.” If you can’t, you’re the one who needs to grow up. America has a child for a VP.

Qué astucia de C. Roldán al madrugar a la defensa de Australia con este tiro libre asistiendo en el gol de la victoria de H. Wright.
Wright tuvo dos goles a pases de Roldán en el triunfo del #USMNT.
Wright y Roldán sobresalieron esta noche y elevaron sus chances de estar en el 26 de M. Pochettino.

Australia kicked Pulisic out of the game in 28 minutes.
Two hard fouls absorbed and it took a toll.

So far, the only media outlet that has signed Pete Hegseth's new prohibitive press policy for covering the Pentagon is One America News.

Even Newsmax and the Washington Times have rejected the letter.

‘Newsmax has no plans to sign the letter,’ the network stated on Monday. ‘We believe the requirements are unnecessary and onerous and hope that the Pentagon with review the matter further’

I'm curious -- coming up on a year since many of us migrated -- how fellow denizens of #NBASky feel about this. I don't miss the other place. Feel like I'm getting plenty of NBA chatter and feedback here. (Though, admittedly, I do wish more of my media peers would post regularly.)

Andrew Tobolowsky @andytobo.bsky.social · 1d

I AM really struggling with how little NBA talk there is on here and I'm tired of pretending I'm not. Ratio me, it's a badge of honor.

It seems that the CB covering Balogun keeps him on (in the eyes of the linesman). 50/50 it’s good if there is VAR.
It looks much closer to good on slow motion replay than at full speed.
