Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84 “Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement Tuesday.

BREAKING: Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84.

Today is a serious day! The prime minister is at risk of being toppled! The Scottish Labour leader has called for him to go! What Rayner and Lammy and Reed say now really does matter!

And they're saying it pretty much exclusively on a site that is arguably incomptable with UK law

Not today's main point, but I do find it odd that ministers are signalling their support of Keir Starmer - pretty important as their silence is interpreted as a sign they might quit and force him to resign! - by... posting on X.

You know, the site condemned for being an AI porn hellscape last month

Douglas Alexander is both a cabinet member and *co-chair of the Scottish Labour election campaign*.

How do you run a campaign when your leader and the co-chair of your campaign disagree on whether the Labour PM should resign? How is that sustainable?

Ah we're at the "cabinet ministers tweeting the same message of support" stage of the endgame.

Klint Kubiak is an offensive genius…he set up Sam Darnold’s TD pass from the first play of the Super Bowl.

This is ELITE play-calling…The Seahawks are going to miss him next year.

Really hope this is endgame for Keir for so many reasons. Shambles from start to finish, everything good achieved was undone by horrendous mistakes and awful policies. I personally can never forgive this government over what they tried to do to PIP and the impact on disabled people that would've had

Am told Eluned Morgan, First Minister of Wales, is going to follow Anas Sarwar in calling for the PM to stand down;

Also that there will be "Scottish MP ministerial resignations" afterwards

Ministers saying it's the end game...

Good.

Not surprised in the slightest but pathetic but the NEC and I don't even rate Burnham highly.

Adam Schefter reports the Packers are expected to work out a deal to keep Matt LaFleur.

Moving on never made sense, not after losing Micah Parsons, Tucker Kraft, Devonte Wyatt, and being without Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden for big stretches.

That’s a lot of talent to lose.

Absolutely the right call. The ending of the season and some of the decisions made throughout were a bit questionable, Special teams need addressing immediately and other changes being made but you don't let talent like LaFleur go especially with all the injuries.

Interview with Paul from the Chuckle Brothers in the Guardian asks if he'd ever like to do Shakespeare.

He says, "To me, or not to me, that is the question."

The Packers have clinched a playoff berth.

A touchdown? In this economy?

Malachi Toney runs it in for a TD, Irvin is hype

If you read one U.S. president's remembrance of Rob Reiner today...

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Gutting

Micah Parsons is down and holding his left knee. Non-contact injury. Looks bad. Broncos players taking a knee not too far from him.

Not sure things could get more nightmarish for Green Bay than losing Watson and Parsons in a single game

Christian Watson landed really awkwardly on that insane interception by Pat Surtain, and looks hurt pretty badly. Ugh.

Just an incredible play by Surtain.

If that’s a collarbone, Watson’s season is done.

If it’s a shoulder, it’ll depend on the injury.

Having the best season of his career, this is brutal for Christian. Hope it seems worse now than it is.

The Packers have taken the lead in the NFC North.

Fuck yeah! Get in! #GoPackGo

the Committee drops Notre Dame out of the Playoff after their 28-7 loss in yesterday's conference championship game, but Alabama stays in the same spot after sitting idle yesterday

hold on wait

The idea you can't punish a team for losing a conference championship game is one of the most insane sports concepts I have ever heard
