From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Every 2026 World Cup game will pause for three minutes in the middle of each half for a “hydration break”, FIFA announced. The new measure will essentially split the match into quarters, a la basketball or American football.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.

Opinion | I believed Hillary Clinton was a sex trafficker because one of her donors owned a pizza restaurant and "cheese pizza" has the same initials as "child pornography." Here's why I don't think Donald Trump's multi-decade best friendship with a sex trafficker connects him to sex trafficking.

What bullshit. JD knows that the real culprit are huge private equity firms buying out entire neighborhoods. Really easy to create “scarcity” to either justify exorbitant cost or just make everyone rent forever. Kinda like what would happen with the 50 year mortgage.

It’s so telling that this is the case DOJ takes up and Texas, who did NOT ask the states voters to redistrict, just keeps merrily going on. Of course, I know why, but it’s still so galling how blatant this regime is for trying to tip the scales.
The Justice Department joined a lawsuit seeking to block California’s new congressional map.
The state's voters approved the new map via a ballot measure this month as a counterpunch to Trump-backed redistricting in Texas and other red states. https://wapo.st/4pdtl9i

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
