We need you!

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Quote by Judy Blume reads, “Only when readers of all ages become active, only when readers are willing to stand up to the censors, will the censors get the message that they cannot frighten us.” Below the quote is a photo of Judy Blume sitting at a table, signing a book, with bookshelves behind her.

Good things can still happen. My pal @odrog.bsky.social was instrumental in this program to strengthen the T. www.mbta.com/news/2025-09...

Basically impossible. I wouldn't want him at the top of the chain (not yet, certainly), but he could be a necessary tool for the belt...

In related news, Brett Phillips retired today, and might he be a tremendous value on the bench?

Do you think like Jed Lowrie is out there looking to manage? Ryan Flaherty is pretty quiet, but he might fit this bill too...

That'd be great if Ross truly fits the bill. I got to see a lot of his charms as a resident of eastern mass. in the curse-breaking era.

In other words, they need to get out of their heads and could benefit from a leader who already knows that situation inside and out.

Sometimes I wonder if the challenge with this group is that they're very smart. I wonder if there's a manager who has had to get over being smart. Kapler or Girardi seem like managers who arguably destroyed themselves being smart, but I haven't seen evidence of either emerging from the other side.

Brooklyn. Have you seen this lady? Her family fears that she may have been picked up by ICE.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one.

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

Strongly recommend this thread from a friend of mine for explanations and nuance.

Tl;dr, Dismissed does NOT mean not guilty, it means the case was filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

Free @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social now!

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

Took my kid to the matinee of @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social today and had a marvelous time. If you like D&D or improv or just like, yelling, I recommend it without reservation. There’s two shows tomorrow, Boston!

I'm sorry... is this AI video, or did they mostly gas themselves?

My husband was detained by ICE today

Apple removes ICEBlock app from App Store Apple on Thursday removed the immigration enforcement tracking app, ICEBlock, from the App Store, citing "safety risks."

A plethora of apps in Apple's app store are basically just spyware / surveillance apps but for some strange reason this is the one that gets banned

Great post from @tychobrahe.bsky.social yesterday.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

bangs. "They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'" Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

Not to be overly dramatic but don't ever say what happened to Khashoggi can't happen here. We've had a lot of things happen here already that "can't happen here"
