Can we take the journey?

In less than 24 hours, Colbert's interview with Talarico is at more than 3.8 million YouTube views.

The video is already one of the two most watched videos on the Late Show's YouTube page this year.

None of them gives the slightest shit about policy or public life. This is just the only way they could find to get people to look at them.

Anyone else as bummed as I am with the canceled doubleheader?!? Daygames gone bye. #GoMs @mariners.com #Mariners

Congratulations #CBS. You’re really screwing the pooch lately. Can’t watch the #grammys even if I wanted to.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.

He's got to go.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.

That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold.
A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool.

This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?

A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE.

It includes:

-Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005
-The MN AFL-CIO
-SEIU Local 26
-UNITE HERE Local 17
-CWA Local 7250
-Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators
-Faith leaders

And more. 🧵

Important thread:

I would love some parity in baseball and there’s no doubt that mariner fans would be a beneficiary, however as a proud union member I also understand why the players union is against this and I have a difficult time supporting the idea.

The Purged Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply.

Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

Fuck AI. Fuck all of it. I have yet to see one redeeming feature of AI. Set the world on fire for some fever dream of Creed singing rudolf the red nosed reindeer?

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

What a fucking loser.

Elon is such a loser.

Happy Josh Naylor is staying a Mariner day, for those who celebrate

A type of wrench

I have now read many smart people explaining what and why the dem senate did and I stand by this. My hopes for a better America do not rest on the current class of Democratic Senators.

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

Can the @mariners please sign Goldy to a 20 year contract?!

Josh fucking Naylor! If the Mariners don’t sign Naylor, we riot!!!

The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors
