And it is hilarious how Dyche will immediately move to the top of many "Spurs' interim manager" lists.

Still waiting for someone from the mighty State of Hockey to denounce the murder of Alex Pretti on the weekend at the hand of government thugs. Because hockey players are said to be fearless and full or courage.

From Senator Chris McDaniel: β€œLately, some folks have taken to calling ICE β€œthe Gestapo.”  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isn’t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  That’s not tyranny.  That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement β€œthe Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history.  We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.

And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

Totally fair… I just hate the comment and don’t think he’s *that* likely to get fired into the sun. If he’s not part of IU broadcasting, my bad.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote,

β€œMorally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings. Indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, [and] in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.”

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

The ICE agents disappearing your neighbors would like a little privacy, please After taking four people into custody at SF’s immigration court, ICE wanted The Standard to conceal agents’ faces.

ICE wanted the San Francisco Standard to blur the faces of agents who were taking immigrants into custody.

The Standard told them "no."

I always appreciate your perspective and: Having no manager on June 6, and no hire to announce. feels foolish. Why would a transfer target choose a club with a history of offering mediocre wages w/o knowing who the leadership is, or that there is stability at the club? Feels very short sighted.
