Minnesota United's left wing. Soccer. Beer. Labor.
We stand with the Punks and Riot Grrrls and the trans community!

We'll never waiver in our support for trans inclusion and extend the hands of friendship to those who do as well.

We are glad to see these folks point out the rank hypocrisy in featuring some identities but not others on game day!
When people's identities are labeled “not match relevant,” we all have to speak up. We’re calling on @stlcitysc.com to do better. Stand with us. #allforcity

You'll work hard, but you'll have fun with your friends. What are you waiting for?
TIFO TIIIIIME

We killed it with tifo last year, but only because of the amazing volunteers who made these designs come to life.

WE. NEED. YOUR. HELP!

Not artistic? Doesn't matter!
Never done it before? We'll teach you!

Join us and the rest of the Wonderwall comrades as we get stoked for 2026.
Next week is our annual summit at... Summit!

Doors open at 6:30, program starts at 7. First drink is on us, and we'll have pizza!

Today marks the start of Black History Month! It is a time to center the lived experiences and struggles of African Americans, past and present. This month, and every month, we lift up those voices yearning for justice!

INBOX: 60+ CEOs of Minnesota-based company call for "an immediate deescalation of tensions and for state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions."

No mention of ICE in the letter.

ICE has murdered again in Minneapolis. Again we are speechless.

We must continue to rise up against their brutal violence!

JUSTICE FOR ALEX!

We wish everyone a very happy General Strike day!

Today is the day we stand up with our friends and neighbors and drive these authoritarian pricks out of our state.

Things are dire, yes, but do not let them take your joy. We outnumber them. Let them know it!

On Good Friday in 1963, the day Dr. King was arrested for protesting, a group of white clergymen wrote an open letter called "A Call to Unity."

It said, essentially, "don't take the bait."

Dr. King responded in his Letter from Birmingham Jail.

Today is MLK day. Today you will see one particular quote weaponized by politicians to gloss over his overarching project - a society of racial, economic, and social justice. In this moment, where those things feel so far away, may his memory show us how much is possible in one lifetime.

In case our position wasn’t abundantly clear:

If you stand with ICE, you don’t stand with us.

If you want to help, here’s a great list of resources: linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

Great thread from our Dark Clouds friends:
It's heartbreaking that our community is once again forced to comfort each other after needless tragedy at the hands of overreaching authoritarians.

We join our neighbors in their grief, their anger, and the unequivocal assertion that ICE does not belong here.

So it pales in comparison to much of what's happening in our community, but SG affiliations have begun. We sent an email out, but it went to a lot of folks' spam.

Do you have MNUFC season tix inn the Wonderwall?

An email went out this morning from Wonderwall with instructions on affiliating with an SG for 2026!

Check your spam folder as there have been reports indicating it may have landed there (it did for admin).

Psst, rumor has it that a certain Chief Soccer Officer is going to join today’s happy hour.

5:15pm, Uptown VFW.

If the giveaways, drinks, and meeting #MNUFC brass — plus your favorite SG folks — weren’t enough, now Kahled El-Ahmad is going to be there. You should be there, too!
