The #NWSL, where we just marveled at a 75 yard yard by Marta last week to close out a quarterfinal, and a week later, stunned by Kouassi making a 100 yard sprint for an opening goal sequence in a semifinal.

It was a beautiful day to get out the vote and to greet folks voting early! A ladybug landed on me while canvassing! I'm hoping it's a sign of good luck for our Democratic statewide ticket and our House Democratic Caucus.

If you haven’t already voted, vote on Tuesday between 6am-7pm!

#USWNT head coach is giving all her European-based players except Naomi Girma this next international window off—the only real offseason they'll get before the 2027 World Cup. The roster vs. Ireland + Canada could be even younger.

my take on the new lucy dacus album: it's a beautiful deep album about lesbian love with clever, thoughtful lyrics. is the music the most groundbreaking or interesting she's made in her career? no but it's still an album i really enjoy with several songs that have made me cry that will stick w me
