Both club football and international football would be improved if the September / October and November international breaks were combined into a single 4-5 week break in October.
Everybody should absolutely view this as an invitation to drop your spiciest soccer takes.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

No Democrat who does this has any right to tell leftists to back the Democratic nominee for president no matter who it is. "Vote blue no matter who" has to go both ways.
After Zohran Mamdani scored a resounding victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, some in his own party are strategizing about how to defeat him in November.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

they’ve even plowed tens of billions into a man-stealing operation so vast and unaccountable that it makes the fugitive slave act look like a modest and responsible use of federal power

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

"While tantalizingly intelligible, there is sadly no way to know what 'en penischock' translates to. I do not speak Swedish. No one does. Similarly, there is no way to know what the story is referring to further down where it says that 'Robinsons penis hängd ute.'"

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

A good opportunity for Democrats to drop their current message -- "We apologize for being Democrats" -- and pick up a new one: "We can have nice things."
Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...
