hey so the government kidnapped a nail salon owner from Hagerstown at her routine ICE appointment in Baltimore, trafficked her to 3 states, lied to a judge by saying they'd deport her in the"reasonably foreseeable future", yet made zero effort to actually deport her

really cool country we got going

My postseason rooting from here on out:

1. Seattle β€” Baseball should be egalitarian. They ain’t been. Simple as that.
2. Brewers β€” Similar. Small market team. Little engine that could etc. Uecker.
3. Sixteen feet of space.
4. Jays - Canada. Divisional rival. Yankees fans would cry.
No LA

Walked out to the Baltimore Parade of Latino Nations (one of our favorite city/neighborhood events) and it just…didn’t happen and I have one guess as to why so a hearty fuck ICE.
I’ve been doing some searching and I can’t even find anything about it being canceled.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

vibes low in Baltimore bc all our sports teams suck, time to declare a city wide state of emergency and draft young men to BUILD THE REDLINE, heard this is legal and the city is actually obligated to do it so we can have one win

I met Kaleb Horton in an In-N-Out in 2018 and was immediately infatuatedβ€”singularly thoughtful, talented, and kind; a guy who worked his ass off to do things with words I never thought possible. He is among the best writers of our generation; a model America hasn’t made since. Rest in peace.

RIP Kaleb Horton, an absolutely brilliant writer and person. Wow.

Fran and I hosted about a dozen Medicaid town halls earlier this year, and I learned she's the real deal. For the past couple of months I've been helping with her gubernatorial campaign prep β€” I believe she is *the* left/progressive candidate for Wisconsin. Let's talk about policy:

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

Harbaugh ALWAYS looks like he was just told his muffler job is going to be $400 more than he was quoted.
