Exclusive: In late 2024, FBI agents were looking at Sen. Susan Collins’ role in a massive illegal bribery scheme alleged by a former federal contractor. Then Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry on the investigation – it’s dead. 🧵
This was in Amsterdam. All she said was "Free Palestine" at a pro-Israel rally. She was arrested within a second.
I have seen hundreds of videos of Palestinian protests being disrupted by pro-Israeli activists. Not once have I seen them be arrested for simply shouting a slogan.
What is it about these two words, "Free Palestine," that terrify so many in the West? The echo of complicity?
Wendy's and Jersey Mike's have gotten worse — and @stavvybaby knows why:
"It's getting s***tier because some d***head who's never f***ing spread mayo in his life decided, 'Oh no, actually, instead of a sandwich, this is now a commodity.'"
Sept. 21, 2020: Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Oneil Cruz is involved in a car crash in the Dominican Republic that kills three people.

As I've been saying: The corporate Democratic faction is willing to sabotage populist Dem nominees, effectively make common cause with MAGA and lose the 2026 midterms if that corporate faction believes that is the price of maintaining its own power inside the Democratic Party.
A haunting letter from inside ICE detention by our client Professor Maryam Tahmasebi.
"This is why we need your help. We are in tremendous pain and have been trapped in an unendurable, unending nightmare. I want my son to have a normal life, not spend his days in this awful detention center in Dilley. No child deserves this. No human deserves this. We are asking anyone with a conscience to help us end this nightmare. There are more things I want to say, but this is the shackled version of what I feel safe saying right now. I will end on this: If this could happen to us, a law-abiding family of two professors and a young boy, it can happen to anyone."

@MattBinder My basketball example: we, the US, succeed with basketball because the courts are there, invested in, you just need a ball. Baseball and soccer need organization/extra effort to make them work.
@MattBinder We can all consider how common it is to see a basketball court and you can shoot and practice by yourself. Soccer and baseball you need teams of players. Money to make it free or low cost does a lot to kill that barrier for entry
