Probably had nothing to do with a President 15 points underwater who gleefully fired thousands of Virginians for no reason

Listen to Bruce - holding on to the faith that America will survive this moment may be most meaningful act of resistance you can do now. https://t.co/ZqchOwde9R

Hey Democrats - maybe put down the polls for five minutes and do something about the fact that our government disappeared a Maryland father to a foreign torture dungeon.

I don't like the word 'evil.' But I don't know what to call this other than that. I think we're dealing with some pretty evil people who have an immense amount of power.

JUST SENT: FIRE has written to @DHSgov, @TheJusticeDept, @ICEgov, and @StateDept, requesting answers to the questions surrounding Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and detention.

The government hasn't stated the legal basis for its actions, and it has put out statements suggesting Mr. Khalil is being targeted because of his constitutionally protected speech.

This is America. The administration must not use immigration enforcement to punish and filter out ideas disfavored by the government or deny due process to anyone facing arrest and detention.

The government must also be transparent about the basis for its actions to avoid chilling protected speech.

To be clear, demonstrations on Columbia’s campus since Oct. 7, 2023, have included both constitutionally protected speech and unlawful conduct. But the government has not clarified the factual or legal basis for Mr. Khalil’s arrest.

The lack of clarity is chilling protected expression, as other permanent residents cannot know whether their lawful speech could be deemed to “align” with a terrorist organization and jeopardize their immigration status.

FIRE’s letter demands answers:

➡️ What was the specific legal and factual basis for Mr. Khalil’s arrest on March 8?

➡️ What is the specific legal and factual basis for Mr. Khalil’s detention?

➡️ What is the specific legal and factual basis on which the government is seeking revocation of Mr. Khalil’s green card?

➡️ Will Mr. Khalil be afforded the due process protections required by U.S. law?

➡️ Is it the government’s intention to seek the revocation of lawful immigration status on the basis of speech protected by the First Amendment?

FIRE has requested a response tomorrow, March 11th.

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

At the final A’s game in Oakland last fall, by far the most popular jersey in the stands was Rickey Henderson’s. That was not only because Rickey is the greatest Oakland A of all time. It’s because Rickey—who grew up playing ball at Bushrod, who was brash and swaggering but also lovable and full of love for his friends—represented close to the best of what this place can be. To lose him the same year we’re losing the A’s is a gut punch, but as lots of people on the timeline are writing, he’d likely rather be celebrated than mourned. RIP, then, to the greatest of all time. Thank you for everything.

I’m asking for your vote because as president, I will get up every day and fight for the American people.

This is four minutes of Barack Obama being both completely fed up with the shenanigans and very effective.

.@springsteen has spent half a century soulfully, lovingly and authentically telling the stories of America and Americans.
His words below reflect that passion and the magnitude of the choice we face in the next 32 days.

[Andrew Baggarly @extrabaggs]

A’s fans didn’t get worn down when it mattered most. They didn’t stop caring. They showed up and made their voices heard. I hope that will be a harbinger of things to come for all of us.

[Andrew Baggarly @extrabaggs]

…there was no apathy, even though the slow and outlandish disintegration of the franchise was designed to wear people down. It’s not unlike what is happening in our country.

[Dan Moore @DmoWriter]

Worth a reminder this only really happens in America. Most other places the concept of billionaires buying up sports teams and stealing them out of the communities that love them is considered, rightly, insane.

[Dan Moore @DmoWriter]

It was never about money. He would have taken the Howard Terminal deal if it was. It comes down, instead, to solipsism, insecurity, and insouciance.

Fisher is from San Francisco. He runs in San Francisco social circles. He’s also never built or accomplished anything on his own. The importance of the A’s to Oakland was immaterial to him. That’s why he never invested in the organization. All he ever wanted to do with the A’s was move them into a shiny stadium that he could point back to as proof that he’d finally built something on his own and with which he might, finally, be able to impress his friends.

The A’s were a means to an end for him. That’s why he treated the organization, Oakland, and A’s fans so categorically like trash.

Yesterday was a man made disaster in Oakland. Sports are not a life and death issue, but with loneliness and lack of community at all time highs, we shouldn't stand for it.

The govt should prohibit franchise relocation and in it's place require promotion and relegation. 1/3

[Dan Moore @DmoWriter]

It’s worse than that. Oakland tried to subsidize Fisher. Fisher bought the team to move it. He stole the A’s.

[Evan Drellich @EvanDrellich]

Politicians across this entire country killed the Oakland A’s.

John Fisher could have fully funded a stadium in Oakland. But he—and every other owner—feels entitled to hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars. To free money.

Your officials everywhere keep proving them right.
