Spurs - Europa League Champions!
Been a long wait, and of course it comes in the most frustrating season on record. But for today, Tottenham are on top of the world!
Incredibly happy for Heung Min Son, who gets his much-deserved trophy in a Spurs jersey.

I am not feeling the 4th of July this year. It is hard to celebrate America while SCOTUS is honoring a convicted rapist as their king, letting him kidnap people, and build concentration camps. — Does anyone else feel this way?

House passes sprawling domestic policy bill, sending it to Trump's desk

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.
