Dodgers appear to be managing their roster the same way I manage my fantasy team
Infielder Andy Ibanez's tenure with the Dodgers lasts just three weeks. Ibanez, signed to a one-year, $1.2 million contract on Jan. 13, is now DFA'd so that the Dodgers can claim OF Mike Siani.
Yep, Siani is the same guy who was DFA'd by the Dodgers on Jan. 21.

Just a banger of a closing paragraph here. I wish more sports writers had the guts to write stuff like this. www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...
Commentary: In these times, Jackie Robinson's team should not grace the White House
Jackie Robinson was a passionate advocate for social and racial equality, and the Dodgers going to the White House again would be incompatible with his legacy.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

If these kids have the courage to fight from within a concentration camp, then we better fucking have the courage to fight from our positions of relative freedom.
Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

WA mutuals: please sign OPPOSE on this bill, which would allow retention of license plate reader data for up to 21 days and allow back door access to the data by other agencies.

I’ll post a template you can copy and paste below, or you can write your own.

DO THIS BEFORE 5PM 1/6 (today)

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Experts who have followed authoritarian regimes abroad can tell you a lot about day-after reprisals to mass movements, which look a hell of a lot like today's killing

My loose info so far is that the Minneapolis General Strike today had about 80 unions sign on, and it might be one of the biggest labor actions in decades depending on your definition

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism.

When my family and 120,000 other Japanese American were sent to prison camps in WWII, the government only allowed propaganda photos of things like schools and baseball games to be published. A school in a prison is evidence of evil, none of these people, especially children, should be imprisoned
ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.
