Tonight was our final bargaining session of 2025. With the CBA set to expire tomorrow and no agreement reached - we wanted to speak directly to you - the fans.

You've probably seen bits and pieces of this process along the way. So we wrote this letter for you:

While many of you are likely yelling "GO ARSENAL" or "GO CHELSEA!" I'm yelling "GO PREMIER LEAGUE JUDICIAL PANEL and the rule of law!"
Man City have spent more than £500m pounds on new talent since being charged with more than 100 Premier League rule breaches. As another window opens, they’re poised to add another top talent, and still there is no ruling. Shames the Premier League how long it’s taken. Man City deny the allegations

DeSantis and Florida republicans are elite levels of corrupt.

They only care about power and gleefully erode democracy to maintain it. It’s been a laboratory for Project 2025 for years.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.

I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

This is incredibly important imo.

Part of the quilt of issues we are facing is the fact there is an open ended military authorization that allows these bullshit “terrorism” labels.

Congress needs to end it, and reassert its constitutional duties
Congress will reconvene in one week. 
 
When we return, we need four Republicans in Congress to stand with us and reassert that Congress, and only Congress, has the power to authorize military action against Venezuela. 
 
The new year cannot bring a new endless war over regime change.

The pot of coffee is on. This fast is ending

I think I’m a good husband, but my wife obviously has a different idea since she scheduled this blood work at 3pm requiring me to fast all day.

I need coffee.

being a part of this has given me a lot of hope. But i object to the people involved being labeled “activists”. They’re just neighbors. “Activist” is only ever applied to leftists as a way to make them seem less normal. These people are normie AF.

An attack in violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and the Take Care Clause of the Constitution.

Taking a beagle (mix) on the battlefield trails was an adventure on its own. Toby needed to sniff EVERYTHING, but I always wanted a dog I could do these things with. If only I found that puppy Union soldier uniform I scoured the internet for in October

My civil war fixation started with the generals and military tactics which is predictable since I was a JROTC kid. Then it was about abolitionists and the “radical” republicans, specifically Sumner and Stevens and their strong moral vision and core.

Truly can’t wait to be home. I haven’t slept since we left. A queen size bed with two grown adults and two medium sized dogs is not conducive for sleep, and the dogs would not settle in the hotel last night.

This inauguration is indeed ours because over 100,000 of us did the groundwork to make it happen. I'll be celebrating *us*

And my hope for a New Era will be grounded in our collective efforts as well: in our statewide fight to tax the rich and our city experiments in mass governance.
