Also, why was a fan punished for wearing a national team jersey of our player?

What does exist, MLS says, is a "moratorium" on Palestine and Israel flags at games — which, now, for the first time, conflicts with fans wanting to support a Palestinian star player.
As Kourtney Sullivan, the Nordecke chair, told me: “They're lying to us, and trying to control how we fan.”

MLS flag policy sparks defiance: ‘Fans should not be punished for supporting their player’
Amid a lack of clarity over MLS policy, Columbus Crew fans say security threatened ejections, bans for the presence of Palestinian flags

Sometime over the past few weeks, as the Crew brought in Palestinian striker Wessam Abou Ali, the club updated its stadium website to include this, about an MLS policy on national flags. (It also referred fans to the policy.)
That policy, as the club now admits, does not exist.

One Crew fan was ejected, and others say there were threats of one-year stadium bans, for bringing Palestinian flags to a game.
They defied an MLS policy, but the Crew had misstated that policy... and fans in other cities think the policy is something different.

The NEAT shirt that we made for the #Crew96 game on Saturday kinda took off around the league. So we made one that comes in every color, so that every fan of every team in MLS can show how they like their drinks.

I’m gonna get mushy here for a second. I’m glad these two found each other and decided that yes- they were gonna be best buds. As a mom that’s always been the most important thing for me. These two have so much in common and love each other. Who woulda thought. ☺️❤️

1. Turn Face ID off for unlocking your iPhone. Protests or not, just turn it off for unlocking your phone. It still can work for password autofill which- let’s be fair that’s where the usefulness is.
2. If you *do* have Face ID on, turn “Require Attention for Face ID” on.

Really glad we are getting so many “spring feeling” days this year. Absolutely nothing wrong with mostly cloudy and 65. This is one of the longer spring seasons I can remember. It makes me want to buy a kite.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Today, I’m eight years smoke free. Two more years and I’ll hit ten. It feels amazing. I feel amazing. In three years I’ll have been smoke free longer than I’d been smoking. I’m really proud of myself. 💕

Tossing out way too expired spices today and decided to make a simmer pot so some of them wouldn’t totally go to waste. My house smells like cinnamon and cloves. On top of that, it’s snowing. I’m ✨ so ✨ in heaven right now. ❄️
