every time a photo of barbra banda is used for some disingenuous gender fuckery it's in part because the league has signaled that it's unwilling to speak up for or protect her in any way

Standing ovation for federal employees at Audi Field just now. Big crowd too, btw, I think this is safely a couple thousand higher than last week.

There was a joint Free DC chant here at BMO. Two cities who have a deep understanding of being occupied by their own government. Dope to see and hear.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Exactly. I'm fine with the move if Adrián stays as head coach of the Spirit. I think Adrián is a better coach than Jona, at least for the NWSL style of play.

Ending voting for women is a core part of the Evangelical plan for the country. They have even considered implementing “household” voting where each family only casts one vote (and we know who decides). This is the first step.

Everything is extremely chaotic but the best info we have so far suggests that Trump’s “stop funding” EO would cover:
Medicaid
ESSA funds
IDEA
Snap
School meals
WIC
Head start grants
Child care block grants
Pell grants
Student loans
Higher Ed grants
Housing vouchers
CTE
Devastating beyond words.

Treat the trolls that are popping up here like you would invasive spotted lanternflies -- stomp on them (with a quick block or report) and then just keep walking, with a little spring in your step because you're helping protect our ecosystem
