just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Here’s why Biden is toast: in this situation, any candidate in Biden’s shoes would do a series of events (interviews, press conferences, town halls, etc) to prove they are up to the task. But, Biden isn’t doing that because he can’t. He’s not capable—and that’s not going to change.

Yeah I'm not sweating that as much since she's on Team Australia. Same with Alanna Smith. Unclear if they would even be able to play in this game.

Would easily take Betnijah over Kelsey Mitchell and Allisha Gray (or CC for that matter, but otherwise there's no PG and that conversation is not worth the trouble anyway).

Part of how we got here has been to leave too much of the discussion about all of this to lawyers. People feel like they can't understand the courts without law degrees and that's just not true. But we're left without a robust group of non-lawyer activists and organizers who could offer leadership.

Things are bad but all the more reason for optimism of the will and rejection of doomerism and nihilism. Only way out is through.

A certain number of people might be motivated by "it will be worse if I’m not elected" but I don't think that gets you over the hump. What does this actually mean? What exactly will be worse? How will it be worse? Most importantly, HOW will electing you stop the “worse” things from happening?

Hmm yes I see this notice that the water to your house has been turned off, and your fridge is completely empty, so you definitely don't have anything that would help your raspy throat. But hey, wait I second, where are the bags of extra crunchy potato chips?

Two games in a row Mystics got out to a great start against an elite team. Both games the elite team locked down on D in the 2nd half and came back. Mystics make teams work, but they just don't have the star-caliber talent to close games out.

ESA crowd has been really feisty these last two games. I'm always more impressed with fans who show up for bad teams.

Baby pool opened at 1, FTR. Lest anyone misunderstands, RPCA staff are very much doing their best. The dept is underfunded, resulting in staffing shortages and reduced service. For perspective, RPCA budget for 2025 is ~$32 mil. B/w Sheriff and APD, the budget for law enforcement is ~$108 mil.

We got in at Old Town pool, where the baby pool is closed, but the big pool opens at noon...ish.

Peak summer demand at Warwick Pool and there's already a wait list 20 minutes after opening because their aren't enough lifeguards. Also all swim lessons were canceled at Chinquapin today because not enough instructors.

Welp. Shatori missed a pretty open corner 3 and the Mystics lose by 3. Fun game though!

Great D by the Stics forces shot clock violation. Up by 4 with the ball 4:30 left.

Ariel Atkins just took an elbow to the face. Sun have been putting on a defensive clinic since the 2nd quarter. Mystics have only scored 7 pts in 7:36 this quarter.

Looks like Shatori is back. But Sun have locked down on defense, forcing Mystics into some sloppy turnovers.

Sounds like Shatori got hurt also. If she can't play the Mystics will be down to seven players.

This is not what they ruled; they ruled than an injunction can stay in place while the case proceed through the lower courts. This headlines makes it sound like the Court vindicated the right to an emergency abortion; they did not.
