Nice of the Yankees to shove the Red Sox out of the way of that freight train. Not sure why they bothered if they're just gonna stand on the tracks staring at it.

A historical illustration depicting a battle scene in a wooded area. Soldiers in gray uniforms and red-coated figures are engaged in combat, with some wielding muskets and others on horseback. Several fallen figures lie on the ground, and a central figure on a white horse appears to be leading the charge. Trees with autumn foliage and a distant landscape with more troops are visible in the background.

On this day in 1813, the Battle of the Thames was fought near present-day Chatham-Kent, Ontario. The battle was a defeat for the British, who lost control of the Western District of Upper Canada. Indigenous leader Tecumseh was killed in the battle.

History repeats.

It takes a special kind of idiocy to keep starting fights when you keep getting the hell kicked out of you.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Is Mike Johnson on the list? It would explain his behaviour.

Dear Members of ICE

If you want sane folks to stop calling you Gestapo agents, maybe a good place to start would be to stop acting exactly like Gestapo agents.

Hope this helps

As for Canada?

Such a tough guy.... 🤬

Today a man publicly made the claim that Tylenol causes autism.

This was the same man who just 5 years ago made the claim that COVID was no big deal.

And he got his information from a man with no medical experience who is leading the Department of Health and Human Services.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.
