James Talarico: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your boss at work, he cares about politics. Your landlord, he cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics. Until you care about politics, they’re gonna keep using the political system to screw you over”
It’s such a shame that we’re stepping into a new era of Blazers basketball with Dame’s return, the Ja addition, a new coach, and our young talent continuing to improve…
And nobody’s excited because the new owner is ruining everything he touches.
It better translate to winning.
What’s happening to the Blazers is on par with the movie Major League. A scummy owner with a scummy mission, bleeding them to death in plain sight. Blazers fans deserve so much better, something that pains me to say as a Laker fanboy who grew up hating them.
I don’t even recognize what the Blazers are anymore.
Winning is obviously the top priority, but what makes the Portland franchise special is how connected the community is with the team, its staff and everyone apart of it.
I feel like that’s been blown up.
Zach Lowe with an aside in support of the Blazers staying in Portland:
“The NBA needs to not fuck this up. Do not let this guy come in here and hijack this franchise and remove it from Portland…
“Portland’s an awesome market, their fans are better than this, they don’t deserve this.”
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check.
A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is…
And they refused.
Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle.
Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest.
U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle.
And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution.
Which should terrify every American.
Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared.
Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was.
This cannot become normal.
ICE just shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian worker in Maine.
He had a Social Security Number.
He was driving to work.
Now, the community is taking the streets:
“No KKK, no fascist USA, no ICE!”
STOP EXECUTING OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.
The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.
World Cup loses hit harder as you age. You think about where you will be in four years, how your kids will be older, if you’ll ever see your country win, your own mortality, and how many more of these you’ll see. I have probably 11-12 left in my life. Unsettling thought, really.
🚨🗣 Jamie Carragher on Egypt's Canceled goal by VAR:
🗣"I am telling you that, if that was against another team it would have been awarded as a goal"
"If that was in the premier league, Laliga or Serie A, it would have been a goal even after VAR review, there is a lot of inconsistency lately in this tournament"
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
El aficionado de RD Congo que se la pasa como una estatua durante todos los partidos por fin pudo viajar a México, y estará mañana en el partido de su selección contra Colombia.
No era Mundial sin este CHAD, ahora sí ya estamos completos.
Emiliano Martínez: "I want to win it for Messi more than for myself. I’d give my life for him."
Joao Neves: "Ronaldo is no different from anyone else. He's just another player here to help the team
I'm so grateful that Ronaldo won the euros with the generation that he won it with. Those players were not as talented as the current squad, but they played their hearts out on the pitch. These entitled brats of today don't deserve anything.
