No mud, no lotus

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

The Dodgers World Series parade on Monday will be missing folks who have been arrested, imprisoned, & deported by ICE & Trump.

The Dodgers should acknowledge their absence & work with local government to create a safe space for immigrants & refugees to publicly celebrate too.

Louis Varland also wrote #51 on his cap for Alex Vesia. It appears the entire Blue Jays bullpen did. Incredible.

thank you to this man

Scripps Research scientists launch new digital clinical trial to test repurposed drug for long COVID symptom relief

We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word

Resistance means using all the tools and spaces you have for peaceful opposition. My latest video.

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

No one should have to put up with this shit but in particular kids should not have to put up with this shit

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

In all, 62 senators are on this bill.

I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

1 in 5 kids rely on snap

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children.

The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children.

Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.

Best TED Talk ever.

Starving people right before Thanksgiving is actually diabolical on every level imaginable. It's also the kind of cruelty people don't forget.

[looks around for jake tapper] hey man, do you, uh, want to write about this?

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

Democrats should commit to expanding the Supreme Court and ignoring all of Donald Trump's pardons issued prior to charges. It's what Republicans would do if the roles were reversed.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

More than a couple of handfuls of elected Democrats should be talking like this.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

“Our monthly premium is $443. It’s going up to $2224. We’re kind of in shock. Both of us have worked our whole lives.”

These are the people Burchett & @MarshaBlackburn refuse to help, even as Marge says Republicans should work with Dems to fix this. #TrumpGOPShutdown

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

The Joker rejects the Red Skull for being a Nazi

I am begging people to have at least the basic moral judgment of The Joker when it comes to Nazism

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

People refusing to let a Nazi tattoo make them reassess their priors is really something.

Being able to process new information and update your beliefs, or at least your arguments, accordingly isn't just a sign of maturity, it's a sign of intelligence.

I’m going to say it again: members of Congress need to draft articles & talk publicly & loudly about the case for treason. Trump told generals on camera in person: the campaign in U.S. cities is a WAR. The military needs to hear it laid out for them, how serious this is. Write for them, not the GOP.

Wow yesssss this is the way….ICE Nazis were about to kidnap some brown folk in Wheeling, IL until a hero emerged and they ran away like the masked cowards that they all are

"I'll Venmo you some cash you broke bitch!"

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.
