Per Robinson in his autobiography, Rickey said: “We can’t fight our way through this, Robinson. We’ve got no army. There’s virtually nobody on our side. No owners, no umpires, very few newspapermen. And I’m afraid that many fans will be hostile. We’ll be in a tough position...
2/ “... We can win only if we can convince the world that I’m doing this because you’re a great ballplayer and a fine gentleman.”

BREAKING....

Sources: Democratic governors held a call yesterday afternoon...

Just governors – no staffs – no one from campaign or WH...

Organized by Gov Tim Walz of Minnesota for the DGA...

1/4
On the call Dem. governors expressed concern about what's going on with the president

They know if they come forward publicly with concern that likely will cause Biden to dig in more

They were also surprised none of them had heard from him (!)

2/4
There was discussion on the call about wanting to have a call with the campaign or White House...

Some discussion about having VP Harris address them...

There was strong sentiment that they needed to hear directly from President Biden

In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students this morning recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus:

2/ The rabbi for the Orthodox Union's Jewish Learning Initiative on campus sent the WhatsApp message this morning at 7:29 a.m. to his WhatsApp group of 293 mostly Orthodox Jewish students. It was his own personal statement, not that of the college or Hillel.
3/ Sent in response, he says, to "just horrific" videos of "protesters on campus calling for Jews to be killed, just off campus Jews being yelled at to 'go back to Poland', text messages I'm getting constantly from Jewish students about how unsafe they feel.”

‘Twas the night before Christmas
At Nakatomi Tower
When our story of homecoming
Begins with brute power
At Los Angeles airport, meet our savior, McClane;
With toys for his kids he disembarks from his plane.
To not see that this tale’s about Christmas is folly;
Did I mention that Mrs. McClane’s name is Holly?
“How 'bout some Christmas music?” McClane asks of Argyle.
“That *is* Christmas music,” the driver says with a smile.
Reuniting with Holly, John’s goal is shared with shy laughter;
A holiday miracle to last ever after. Image

DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Not guilty.
2/After the prosecution asserted a possible conflict of interest regarding one of Trump's attorneys, the judge said "Mr. Trump, as you know, you have an absolute right to conflict-free representation... do you understand that right, Mr. Trump?"

DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Yes.
