Such a great moment, I worked really hard these last days and week. When I went on the ice, I did not give up, I told myself, 'go get it, Kevin. It's your moment, it's your dream, you've been skating 25 years for this'.

This is actually heartbreaking. Flu kills so many people each year and mRNA vaccines have incredible potential for the future. The current leadership is just flushing the future of medicine down the toilet.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

I've not been watching the venue feed because I am a new enough fan I really do need commentary to identify elements and such, but the last straw was seeing they cut off the entire first group in the RD. How damn disrespectful to the athletes in the first group! #OlympicFigureSkating

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”
