Starting a team in the @BananaBall_ league that does no trick plays but uses banana ball rules to our competitive advantage. 3-0 count? We're beaning the guy to avoid the ball four sprint. Putting all our bench players in the crowd to fight fans who catch our foul balls. We have great fundamentals.
Grey jerseys, grey pants. Tucked in with high white socks. Caps on straight as an arrow. Old time baseball.
The Shreveport Sickos are coming for you, Bananas.
This is what local accountability looks like:
In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.
Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.
Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.
Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.
Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥
💢 Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner on U.S. support for Israel:
“Not a single taxpayer dollar should be spent on arming and defending a country that commits a genocide.
I would absolutely support Senator Sanders' bill to restrict military aid, but I'll be entirely honest, looking down the road, this is a nation that right now is exterminating people.
It is going to be very difficult for me to ever be able to look at them again and see someone that we should be working with closely…
What I am witnessing now is the height of horror. And the fact that it is being done by bombs that are built in this country and paid for with our tax dollars is utterly unconscionable. And it needs to end.”
