Done here until major change comes. Come say hi on the other one: https://t.co/dn7nc2WpeP

@JamesTate121 Whoever made this thinks they're dunking on him, but people who voted for DJT know about his violent behavior and voted for him anyway -- often beCAUSE of it.

Police union endorses convicted felon.

Why didn't anyone tell me that Nate Cohn actually IS NY Times Pitchbot (@DougJBalloon)?

[Evan Derkacz @evanderkacz]

@EladNehorai And the piece itself is embarrassing. I mistakenly thought Weisman was a serious person.

@JeffSharlet I mean, when Elon Musk gives you the polite chuckle affirmation and thinks you're a bit unhinged... Wow.

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

Let me add a different but by no means contradictory point. There’s nothing wrong with attacking the media any more than there’s something wrong with attacking another politician or party or organization. They are individually and collectively participants in a larger …

In this defensive @NewYorker reaction to @JoeBiden (finally) criticizing the press that has been criticizing him, @jaycaspiankang shares an important insight about the falling power of the press, but I come to a different conclusion... 1/

This is why Republicans work so hard to keep history out of schools. They don’t want white children to know what their parents and grandparents did.

@shwinnypooh Godawful boring. The irony is that the two teams best poised to give the Celtics trouble never played them: The Timberwolves and the (healthy) Knicks.

[Evan Derkacz @evanderkacz]

@marclamonthill No. No court in the US where this makes sense.

[Evan Derkacz @evanderkacz]

@marclamonthill Speaking as a 50 yo who waited far too long to stop playing pickup games, you can warm up, ice down, stretch, don't overexert, etc, but the truth is that you probably can't do much about it. But goddam it's fun isn't it?

You might try to watch basketball once or twice before you decide you're expert enough to comment. In fact, plays like this are so common one is tempted to believe the analysis of personal fouls isn't your main concern.

JUST IN: WNBA player Angel Reese viciously elbows Caitlin Clark in the head as she goes in for a layup.

Reese could be seen completely missing the ball and making contact with Clark's head instead.

She was called for a flagrant 1.

The move comes as more and more WNBA players are becoming jealous of Clark's fame.

During a previous matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever, Reese was seen celebrating after Clark got cheap shotted by Chennedy Carter.

@JonahDispatch I don't know why anyone is arguing with this simplistic generalization designed to be provocative and stimulate nothing of value.

[Ben Lorber @BenLorber8]

The BDS movement released a statement yesterday supporting student encampments, while also cautioning Western activists against advocating for armed resistance, arguing that this invites state repression and harms the solidarity movement https://t.co/SuLL1TNfOh

@ijbailey Know-it-all contrarianism, blind men and an elephant parable, & the general reluctance to admit that race is a powerful motivator?

[Evan Derkacz @evanderkacz]

Dear @RNS, you actually promote antisemitism when you publish and help launder the reputation of John Hagee, a well-known antisemite (who also happens to be an Islamophobe, homophobe, and misogynist). Yes, even when that antisemite is making an argument against antisemitism.

[RNS @RNS]

OPINION: Deicide, the charge of killing God, has been used to justify antisemitism under the banner of the cross since shortly after the death of Christ. This deception is the genesis of church-based antisemitism.

@magi_jay Redolent of Adbusters' infamous "Why won't anyone say they are Jewish" list... https://t.co/ipYnoOGFU7

[Evan Derkacz @evanderkacz]

@jakejakeny Oh dear, has a concept become somewhat detached from its original meaning & context? You're well aware that most Jews understand Tikkun Olam as the human responsibility to repair the world. Dressing up your politics in condescending legalism just makes you seem like a jerk.
