It's saying start a new pro wrestling circuit with former child actor Mara Wilson

We're still dealing with it today, and almost all of our troubles have come from that sin. Even things seemingly not related to race at all. Race is the reason socialism never took hold in America - because racism was more powerful than class solidarity.

Black people are always something else, something *less*. It's the Original Sin of America. We never had a better opportunity to erase that sin than 1865, and MAYBE if Lincoln hadn't been shot we could have done it, but I doubt he had it in him. But Johnson was about the worst case scenario.

Because we don't see Black people as legitimate Americans. When people talk about the working class, they mean the WHITE working class. And I don't just mean Republicans. Bernie Sanders means the white working class when he talks about the working class.

A legitimate democratic republic in the South would have resulted in several southern states having Republican-controlled governments even if all of the ex-Confederates were completely re-enfranchised. But history largely treats that era as an unnatural abberation.

We teach the Civil War as ending on April 9, 1865, but in a lot of ways it continued until March 4, 1977, and the South didn't *win*, but they didn't lose by nearly as much as they had after the armies stopped fighting 12 years earlier. And this attitude is part of that clawing back of the defeat.

Well, far be it from me to defend the fucking Mets.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Yeah, but 40% of teams make the playoffs now so who knows.

At this rate Juan Soto will be a Yankee again by July.

If it's anybody's fault it's Pete Alonso's fault

In the worlds of the indominatable VA State Sen Louise Lucas: You started it. We fucking finished it.

Again, for any Republicans bitching about Virginia: what the TN GOP did to Democrat Jim Cooper's Nashville Congressional seat is an abomination beyond measure.
It gave us Andy Ogles.
And now the TN GOP is trying to colonize Nashville entirely and disenfranchise its Black voting population.

Mets offense versus the Twins bullpen is a real coughing baby versus coughing baby situation

Every baseball fan ever:

Lemon, it's Tuesday.

Hey, NationalsTV, you can stop running the "Vote No" ads now.

Let’s go Mets baby love da Mets

Sports Bluesky in the early days:

"Boy, I wish all the sports people from Twitter were over here."

We all laugh but this is what Sports Bluesky was like before images

The issue was never would there be no redistricting, the issue was whether we'd let Republicans give themselves a bunch of extra seats without doing anything in response.

The reality is that the redistricting game is still benefiting Republicans overall, but Democrats fighting back like this means that it benefits them less than they hoped it would.

Just flipped

Watching the VA redistricting totals come in waiting until the moment it officially flips.

One of them just wrote in the Wall Street Journal that he's a Republican now.

New York Times county-level map showing the "yes" side in the Virginia redistricting referendum is exceeding the benchmarks it needs to pass almost everywhere.

The Virginia redistricting referendum looks likely to prevail by a modest margin.

"No" leads by 4 points with what's counted so far, but major blue areas are reporting more slowly. The "yes" side is exceeding its benchmarks across the state according to the NYT map www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
