Remember every single day that a relative handful of congressional Republicans could stop most, if not all, of this dangerous & deranged fascist criminal insanity. But it would require character, courage, fidelity to the Constitution & love of country over partisan & personal power & position.
Portland second, eh. Interesting.
I would now give Jasper the green light to start indiscriminately chucking all his pent-up three point attempts hoping he also has pent-up makes.
Kentucky lucky to be in the game after shooting 2-11 on threes.
I would go zone & pack it in ridiculously.
Jasper.
Jasper.
Jasper.
Thanks for reposting. Still as powerful as when written. And saying her name, Breonna Taylor, is still essential, not only to memory, but to change. Her death, the circumstances of it & the subsequent injustices related to it certainly helped change & educate me.
Hegseth's advocacy of war crimes is now such a frequent occurrence it draws scant attention. Thank goodness for Brian Finucane... bsky.app/profile/bcfi...
On this day in 2020, Louisville police officers shot and killed 26-year-old Breonna Taylor during a no-knock raid in the middle of the night in Louisville, Kentucky.
Now Michael Adams disgracefully sells his soul to deranged fascist felon Trump. Had hoped for better from him. Adams making his bargain with the devil now, after insurrection, Epstein files, murderous ICE masked goons, Iran war, etc. is especially indefensible. www.kentucky.com/news/politic...

“Impeach and convict a president for an unlawful war, and you’ll see fewer unlawful wars,” our columnist David French tells Emily Bazelon, a staff writer for The Times Magazine, in their conversation this week.
The nets at the Big 12 Tournament are the shortest & stiffest I’ve seen since the ones the Knicks had at Madison Square Garden circa 1969-73. Also, that court is an abomination.
Read this entire piece. Garrett Graff says what needs saying & does so as clearly & powerfully as anyone could.
I understand you to mean he is cut out for a much higher level than the mere SEC Tournament!
it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"
Charlie Sykes: "So, this seems a rather urgent question: Is it now the policy of the US that we can kidnap or assassinate the leader of any nation state without (1) a declaration of war or (2) a ruling by any court or international body? Is that the new rule? That we get to kill anyone we want?"
Listening to Kentucky MBB radio broadcast. Commercial for UK Healthcare featuring Coach Mark Pope talking about “making a run for a banner” is getting on my nerves. #BBN
This conversation between Brink Lindsey & Damon Linker, very smart, thoughtful gentlemen affiliated with The Niskanen Center @niskanencenter.bsky.social, is great. Discussions & ideas like theirs are essential if liberal democracy is to survive populist assault. open.substack.com/pub/brinklin...
They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

This is extremely interesting! Thanks for it.
For nearly a year, DHS tried to keep secret that it had killed a U.S. citizen.
Then came a FOIA request from @weareoversight.bsky.social.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
Breakfast at Florida Avenue Grill & sit in the booth with the little plaque marking it as where Martin Luther King, Jr. sat while planning the March on Washington. Plenty of other cool photos of famous patrons, too. And the breakfasts are fantastic. Get the grits.
Please read about this great American life. A courageous patriot & an inspiration.
“In his memoir, Lafayette wrote that the ever-present threat of death during those early years of organizing taught him that the value of life ‘lies not in longevity, but in what people do to give it significance.’”
