@Brewers The $30/mo or $150/year https://t.co/7qJeVx4SCd package does not lift local blackouts. Even though the Brewers will be broadcast by MLB, those restrictions still apply.
To get the Brewers in the home market you need to buy the Brewers-specific plan (currently $20/100).

@capitolhunters Why the fuck are these guys outfitted like they're invading Iraq? And where are the pictures of all the gang members and REAL criminals they've arrested? You'd think they would be showing that shit off.

I worked that election in Sun Prairie WI. We didn't have enough people to do in person amd mail in ballots at the same time so those ballots waited until the polls closed. little known fact: we weren't allowed
to start processing mail in ballots until the polls opened by law.

Everyone knew that Milw had to report its absentee votes & that there were a LOT of them & they could tip the election. Which is exactly what happened. But people still look at that darn chart and pretend it shows fraud when all it shows is that things happened at night. 5/

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

[Alexander McCoy @AlexanderMcCoy4]

I’m a Marine Corp veteran, trained by LEOs when I served in US embassies on how to handle unruly individuals or protestors.

1) If you are the guys with guns, you are the ones responsible for the situation. Doubly so if you outnumber the person you’re engaging.

2) You do not need to use force except to control the situation in order to deescalate it. Minimal force required.

3) You are NOT here to look for excuses to use more force. Even if the person gives you an excuse which “justifies” using force, that doesn’t mean using force is de facto the right move.

4) “Let the other person retreat” often resolves the situation just fine! Don’t surround people, back them up against a wall, etc. Your job is to control the situation. “I put myself stupidly in danger” is not an excuse to escalate “because I’m in danger.”

5) People will feed off of your energy. If you come rolling up like a fascist thug ready to break skulls, people will meet you at that level. If you show up calm, professional, and having a friendly chat, often that brings the temperature down.

Everything I see from ICE agents is they are relishing violence and exercising power, needlessly escalating situations, looking for opportunities to shoot their weapons and beat the shit out of people.

I am saddened by the news coming from #Madagascar about violent clashes between security forces and young demonstrators, which have caused the death of some of them and left around a hundred injured. Let us #PrayTogether to the Lord that every form of violence may always be avoided and that the constant pursuit of social harmony may be fostered through the promotion of justice and the common good.

Retired Army Lt. General Mark Hertling on Pete Hegseth's embarrassing remarks today: "Once again I’m reminded, trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets."

RETWEET if you stand with General @MarkHertling against Hegseth!

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

Liz Cheney: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

America, your dishonor will remain.

In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.

After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.

This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing.

People died trying to vote.

Today was National Voter Registration Day. But guess what, you're in luck you can still register to vote. Grab your family members and friends.
Let’s go!
