Mike DeLuca

Upstate NY H.S., late '80s. At a basketball game some dickwads from my school start chanting "Go Columbia, beat the faggots." They stopped the game and warned the kids they'd be kicked out if they kept it up. So ... yeah, even then shit like this wouldn't be allowed.

Those are beautiful ... but I have absolutely no reservations about hating the Dodgers.

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

Hey Minnesotans. Have your bosses sent you a mealy-mouthed email about how to remain productive during these troubled times or some other example of non-committal, faux-concerned corporate-speak? We want to publish a bunch of these. Send examples to keith at racketmn.com. You will NOT be identified.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

MAINERS: See ICE? Have info or media?

The Maine Monitor newsroom is asking for any tips, photos, or videos of immigration activity –– ICE, CBP, DHS –– around the state of Maine you are willing to share. The Maine Monitor is often the first news site to report on statewide issues.

#Maine #ICEOut

Do your thing, MN folks

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

just want to remind folks that pushback and public outrage stopped them from closing the CDC library. i bet pushback will stop them here, too

Draft @jamellebouie.net for U.S. Senate.

With millions of people counting on us, we've decided to betray them.

Brave Chuck Schumer ran away! Bravely ran away, away! When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.

Any Democratic senator, at any moment, could've derailed this by calling for Schumer's replacement and casting their colleagues as MAGA collaborators, thereby shifting the Overton window. But they're all in on it. This was always a team effort.

Want a party that actually fights back? Run for office. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

We ain't stupid. You either a) sincerely oppose this deal, in which case its passage shows you are a weak-as-fuck leader, or b) support the deal but know your voters hate it so want to act all tough for them. Either way, fuck off you suck.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

Senator Maggie Hassen claimed she would fight for the ACA.

Her new vote shows that, in reality, Americans in every single state are facing higher health insurance bills this year, and she will vote in favor of that.

Call these Senators! www.senate.gov/senators/sen... HOLD THE LINE!!!

Schumer will vote against the deal, but that does not matter.

Either he gave the moderates nodding approval to their actions, or he is unable to keep his caucus together.

This is his failure. @schumer.senate.gov should resign tonight (at least as leader) if this deal goes through.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Ummm ... not unassisted.

DOJ declined to bring charges against two people who threatened to kill @ericswalwell.bsky.social this year, @nbcnews.com reports: www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Here she is #TheAlabamaPenis who has attained hero status for standing up against Dick-tators.

Let’s all follow this fearless champion of democracy
