A reminder that you don’t need to root for a country in the Olympics. You can root for a person.

Watch Turning Point and other maga orgs buying tickets just to get the numbers artificially infalted.
And remember, Amazon paid $40M to acquire the doc, and spent a further $35M to market it.....

I know what you’re thinking, “his bathtub is entirely too small” and I agree completely.
Lou doesn’t seem to care about what you and I agree on though 🤷🏻♂️

I have family members and friends who are terrified. I can't imagine what they are going through. The temu orange guy and his barbie lackey have achieved their ultimate goal: Install a level of fear that hurts the people here and adds a level of deterrent to those thinking of coming.
I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Minneapolis’ Hotel Workers Are on Edge
Staff across the city told NOTUS how their lives have changed since the start of the federal immigration operation. “It's frightening,” one said.

This is Ranger. He was at a grooming appointment when it suddenly became a yoga session as well. Fortunately, he is an excellent multitasker. 13/10 (IG: thegoldenboyranger)

A good idea that will instantly fade into the aether.
The NBA should create a All 6th Man team to go along with the other 'All' teams. Keep the 6th Man of the Year award but recognize some more dudes. Case in point, THJ.

Working with #kakapo, this is the best thing you'll ever see. When "candling" an egg you hold your breath, hoping to see this: beautiful embryo development in a fertile egg. This is Tiwhiri's second egg, about 8 days old. About half of eggs are infertile. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

I can't physically be in the room with people who voted for this. It is a flaw on my part that I see them as evil and want nothing to do with them.
A new Times video analysis breaks down the flawed and lethal actions by federal agents in the killing of Alex Pretti. Watch our visual investigation. nyti.ms/3YXeODB

This could be a fun game: Cheering for the Sea Hawks (and virulently against the Pats) by way of listing Seattle bands that are much better then Boston bands. For example, I'd take Nirvana over the Mighty Mighty Bostones all the time. #GoSeaHawks #Seattle #Boston #Superbowl

How do we outside of MN see this and then go on to our normal day? I can't do it.
Minneapolis, MN -
Many many more agents filing into the area around the hotel. Minneapolis PD announcing everyone is under arrest, telling them to sit down with their hands up. An ad hoc journalist squad being told to go further down the street. Chemicals irritant deployed in the road.
