Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

it turns out the trick to a successful developmental system is basically the same as making any organization or enterprise successful: give people ownership, make them accountable, and foster an environment where trust is reciprocal, and reward success and hard work.

Can’t quite put my finger on why, but somehow the actual doodle makes it so much worse and more disgusting.

A couple more thoughts on this. There is exactly one crime defined in the U.S. Constitution: treason. The first definition is levying war against the United States. Trump is explicitly threatening that.

U.S. soldiers are not only permitted, they are *obliged* to refuse an order to commit treason.

No matter what uniform they wear, federal agents and military troops on our streets are bound by the Constitution.

Now it’s your turn @mls.bsky.social Show us that you care about the integrity of the league and the sport. Consequences should apply regardless of a player’s pedigree. #banSuarez

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Here's the relevant section of the CBA between MLS and @mlspa.bsky.social:

League can impose discipline for conduct related to "any game or tournament in which the Player competes."

86% of those who voted backed the resolution.

I don’t want to be hyperbolic about this but if Luis Suarez plays another game in MLS this year, I really don’t know what we’re doing here. Absolutely pitiful.

You’ll notice he steps on Gene’s foot so he can’t step away. Again, one of the most despicable and disgusting things I’ve ever seen happen on a soccer pitch.

There is no better representation in American Soccer than the Seattle Sounders.

NASL, USL, and MLS.

Founded in 1974.

What a classless bunch of whiners. I’m guessing any consequences will be minor, but they deserve to have several players receive a ban. Especially Suarez.

I know it's just the Leagues Cup, but I'm going to go ahead and say this. And I do believe - top to bottom - this is the best Seattle Sounders team I've ever seen. To get results like they've been getting while missing so many first and second choice players is really really impressive

01.09.2025 02:06 β€” πŸ‘ 53    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 1

Your goal-scorers in the Leagues Cup were Osaze De Rosario (Defiance), Alex Roldan (draft pick) and PAUL MOTHER FUCKING ROTHROCK (Seattle).
