Neato, more war criming on the high seas.

“What we are seeing in Chicago the past 24 hours is a mere prelude. The official numbers of agents is nothing compared to the prisoners private contractors are releasing to kidnap, disappear and kill their fellow Americans. This suggests the covered faces are less about protecting the contractors and more about hiding from the public that prisoners are being used for this. Armed and set loose upon their fellow denizens on our streets. “I suspect it won't be one city at a time when they begin the next phase, but everywhere at once.” https://substack.com/@alisavaldes/note/c-162408091?r=3wdop&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

Good thread (including links) about some of the background behind what’s happening with Chicago:

“In 1933, German conservatives thought they could control Hitler. Two years later, they were being executed in their own homes. I spent weeks researching this question, desperately looking for counter-examples, for hope, for any time in history where people successfully stopped fascists after they started winning elections. “Here’s what I found: Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever. […] “No wealthy democracy with nuclear weapons has ever fallen to fascism. The 1930s examples everyone cites were broken countries. Weimar Germany was weakened by World War I and hyperinflation. Italy was barely industrialized. Spain was largely agrarian. They didn’t have the world’s reserve currency or thousands of nukes or surveillance technology that would make the Stasi weep with envy. “America has all of that. Plus geographic isolation that makes external intervention impossible. Plus a population where 30-40% genuinely wants authoritarian rule as long as it hurts the “right people.” The historical playbook is useless here. We’re in unprecedented territory.” https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/republicans-are-an-invading-force

It's the Yankees vs. Toronto.

I would normally feel a little bad about rooting against a team that’s never made it to the WS even once, but they’re officially an obstacle to be overcome now.

Having an actual countdown timer for the first pitch of the BOS/NYY game is peak ESPN.

More runs please

Crap.

Thanks for specifying that it’s the California one. 😉

Most years that’s true for me too. ‘Course, my birthday is April 30…

Welp.

It tightens your colon. It is designed to tighten your colon.
