Me on the death of the Washington Post sports section.

This isn't a day to be nostalgic. It's a day to be angry.

If your WR1 doesn’t think this way he’s not the one
At media day, someone asked JSN what his job would be if he wasn’t in the NFL and he said “President of the United States”

The snacks were horrendous. The movie was worse. But the airless luxury of Amazon's new project makes it an important cultural artifact for our political reality.

The schedule of an American fan of European soccer is so exquisitely civilized. When they call it "the beautiful game" they're talking about how compatible it is with a late brunch
“Dads suddenly into English Premier League” is all about being able to watch an entire game by 8:30am on a Saturday, before you’ve even left cereal and cartoon time

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.

This martyr could be any of us. He is doing what so many of us have been trained to do. Standing and recording on his phone, trying to warn his neighbors, and now he’s dead because armed, masked federal paramilitaries are acting with impunity to perform ethnic cleansing.
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

Basically executed by firing squad. Vance and the administration’s cronies coming out and screaming that ICE has absolute immunity after Good’s killing was an open declaration that they terrorize and kill as they please.
The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.
