🇨🇦 Columbus Crew and Canada int'l forward Jacen Russell-Rowe is a player of interest abroad before January transfer window closes.
I'm told a Ligue 1 club is among those with serious interest. One to watch over next week.
Contract expires at end of 2026.

These parents raised a kid whose first instinct was to help someone up who was pushed down. I’m the dad of a 5 year old, and teaching her to be kind is the only thing I’ve cared about since the day she was born.
Our government murdered their kid because they raised him right.
I am so fucking angry

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

If any Democrat in the Senate votes to fund ICE, they are voting for the summary execution of American citizens. It’s really that simple.
Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.
