unbelievable amounts of money being spent on democratic primaries. remember this next time you see so many people in favor of positive change that’s never represented by our political class. this is why.
AIPAC and their allies spent $9 million for Laura Fine's 3rd place finish.
Being pro-genocide is bad policy and bad politics! #IL09

Alt perspective on this:
If a leader takes time off offered by organization, he makes it ok for other people who work under him to do the same.
It establishes a boundary that can help with culture.
There have been NUMEROUS stories in recent yrs of coaches saying they want their coaches to go home for dinner… that don’t glamorize sleeping on a couch in your office.
Work smarter, not harder.
If they’d won, this note would be featured in an article about ways he changed the culture.
They didn’t… and so we’re here.
#Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah took roughly two weeks of paternity leave in 2023 following the birth of his first son, and many around the league were in “disbelief” that he did this, per @DMRussini and @alec_lewis. During that time, he worked remotely and was absent from several training camp meetings and practices. Minnesota was publicly supportive of his time away:
“Following the birth of his first child, the general manager left for paternity leave, missing about two weeks of training camp meetings and practices and working remotely during that stretch. Word of his time away from the team traveled quickly around the league. Among some rival executives and coaches, it was met with disbelief.
In an NFL culture where many players, coaches, and executives proudly acknowledge missing the births of their children, taking time away to care for a newborn and support a partner remains uncommon.”

Imagine the levels of chaos when a ref comes on the mic 3 minutes after a Pick-6 and says “the ruling on the field was INT and TD by the defense. However, after further review, replay officials have decided to throw a flag for roughing the passer.”
New at @NFLonCBS: For the first time ever, the NFL could begin throwing flags on plays *after* replay review. They would be player safety fouls like facemask or roughing the passer. Discussions will take place next month on what would be a massive change cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-v…

A ballot like this is a reflection of a person’s moral fiber. Actively mocking the entire enterprise. A complete and total joker.
