This should work-- it's even in Spirit yellow! Also, soccer balls are harder to draw than I anticipated.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

It's like they're actively looking for increasingly insane detention possibilities, just to see how much their base will accept.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.
This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.
CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY.

Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

Meg nails the urgency of the moment for NWSL, who have multiple paths to a solution on a situation that will have huge long-term impact. The league and club owners just have to figure out how to get out of their own way.
The good news for the NWSL: women’s soccer is growing thanks to increased investment and competition.
The bad news for the NWSL: women’s soccer is growing and the current salary cap is not gonna cut it.
Trinity Rodman is the final test. All in? Or fall behind? www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

NWSL can’t keep Trinity Rodman and its current salary cap. It’s up to the league to choose
The rest of the world, and its biggest clubs, are watching the league's decision closely.

#NWSL Are there any rules about fans starting a kickstarter to tip a player, therefore increasing her earnings without surpassing your antiquated salary cap?

Ok, people who are better at catchy stuff than me. Are we sending the commissioner bottle caps to indicate that she needs to raise the salary cap or are we sending her fake dollar bills with Trin's face on them?

When this play starts, Rose Kouassi is pretty much level with Hal Hershfelt as she clears it out of the box. All of four (!) seconds later, Kouassi is on the ball. Ten seconds after that, the ball's in the back of the net. ⏩
