nyt can you please have some decency about a decorated war veteran combat surgeon who saved tammy duckworth's life, who treated 9/11 first responders and was in gaza during the genocide. i get that he's muslim and antizionist but this is a shameful and racist subheader!
I will never forgive Luis Castillo for this moment. Having to go to school the day after this moment and hearing all the shit talk from Yankees fans was an all time low moment as a Mets fan.
The sport of Baseball is going to generate billions of dollars in revenue next year. Will it go to the men on the field who bleed and sweat for America’s pastime? Or will it be swallowed up into the anonymous ledgers of billionaires seeking to become trillionaires?
Baseball players are still the proletariat by definition. They still sell their labor and don’t own the means of production. And they’re still engaged in a class war with those that do.
There is no reason at all for the players to ever agree to a salary cap.
Get rid of the deferrals if you want to. But I hope the players hold out forever if the alternative is letting billionaires get away with even more bullshit in this country.
The MLB’s contract negotiation is an important refresher that if your conception of class isn’t based on your relationship to capital then you can easily be steered into believing idiotic things based purely on media and/or personal grievances.
Reminder: MLB Owners are not your friends
They are going to hammer home that a cap is what the fans want to even the playing field. Don’t let this fool you; these billionaires couldn’t care less about what you or I think. It’s all about maximizing profits. It always has been.
Farewell to Stephen Colbert! I will miss your laundering the reputations of war criminals, like when you danced with Kissinger. It's a shame Trump got you fired because he made you a liberal martyr instead of the parable of the Obama era’s humorless and empty corporate moralism.
Quand t'entends l'humanité des discours des communistes du 20eme siècle, tu comprends pourquoi les capitalistes ont eu besoin de les repeindre en dictateurs sanguinaires pour les discréditer.
¿Desde cuándo el gobierno de Israel se cree con autoridad para opinar sobre Bolivia y sobre las decisiones soberanas de nuestro pueblo? Y sobre todo, ¿con qué autoridad moral luego del genocidio y el exterminio contra el pueblo palestino que desprecian el derecho internacional?
Ratificamos nuestro compromiso con el pueblo boliviano, con los sectores movilizados y con la causa del pueblo palestino, porque siempre defenderemos la vida, la dignidad y el derecho de los pueblos a existir libres de ocupación, violencia e injusticia.
It doesn’t really break down along geographic lines as much as if you’re a cop or someone who really respects cops you’re probably a Yankees fan and if you have a soul you’re a Mets fan.
