We have to get creative here. Move the fences in 50 feet every inning. Let Ohtani and Guerrero pinch-hit for everyone. One-ball walks. Each team must put a dog in left field.

There is a natural inclination, especially among Americans steeped in our culture of mass incarceration, to judge the propriety of a person’s punishment not based on what they’ve done, but on how deserving one believes they are of receiving justice. On its face, any 13-year-old kid that allegedly made threats and was found to be in possession of a knife should be afforded the rights of due process in the juvenile court system. But because this boy was born in another country, because he and his family were asylum-seekers (authorized to work legally in the US) and not American citizens, and regardless of any piece of his personal story or history that led him to this point, some believe he is not owed those same rights. This boyβ€”this childβ€” deserves to rot in a federal facility, they say, and to be dragged across state lines away from his home. And for some, his mere existence in this country is crime enough. 
But it’s important to bust these myths. It’s crucial to remember, as so many speakers at the Everett City Council meeting reminded us, that all of our safety is intertwined. DHS and its many agencies are trying to turn neighbors against one another. But our neighbors are not our enemiesβ€”in fact, they are the ones most likely to protect us.

CENSORED: β€œThey refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.”

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Newcastle says no to fascism.

The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Newcastle united.

"A wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.

I believe in living
I believe in birth
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port."

Please stop calling Burchett a β€œholdout” β€” he was never holding out.

This was the same performance we have seen him do every single time, because he craves attention like a man crawling through the desert craves water. #BumblinBurchett

As wrestling is an incredibly niche field of entertainment, its limited media coverage is not exactly daring or incisive. To read a piece this damning, this willing to call attention to an unethical aspect of the industry, is refreshing beyond words.

Outstanding work by Brandon Thurston.

Powerful words from @vanhollen.senate.gov.

He has been a leader opposing terrible US Gaza policy across two administrations.

And he went to El Salvador to protect the due process rights of Abrego Garcia and all U.S. residents.

The rule of law is the through line.
