The US are into the U-20 World Cup quarterfinals for the fifth consecutive tournament.

**insert 2000 words on the MLS academy initiative kicking off in 2007, and this being immediately downstream of that**

I don’t know if it’s too late to make changes, but a 22,000 capacity is too small for the new stadium

Unless the team is proactive about pricing, lots of fans will be priced out

Still, this is impressive and a credit to the Fire’s front office, both Gregg and everyone behind the scenes #mls

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

The fact that the agents were laughing while they did it says to me that they have way way overreached with their mass recruitment and incitement of ICE agents here.

They have not remotely done the propagandic footwork needed to make shooting a collared Christian cleric palatable to the public.

Speed safety cameras are astonishingly successful. We know the tools that reduce traffic violence. Legalize them.

This is the main issue I have with so much of the coverage around e-bikes. It's not that there aren't legitimate issues. But there is a panic around e-bikes and crickets regarding the daily toll of cars. And that's because the harm of cars is just accepted. It's baked into our society.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are arrested based on ‘how they look’ Immigration agents wearing tactical gear and carrying long guns made arrests in downtown Chicago and the River North neighborhood Sunday. “This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidatio...

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago.

He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.”

“How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

This appears to be the full video of the Chicago delivery worker. It actually appears that an agent tries to assault him after he curses the Dear Leader Kim il Trump to their faces.

Waking up MAGA shouldn't be the aim as you (correctly imo) point out that they are pretty irredeemable at this point. But there's a lot of politically ignorant people in the middle that voted for Trump or hypothetically might and we do need them to awaken

I keep a quick charging battery phone case on my desk and for like the last hour of work I switch cases and then switch back when I'm done and go into my evening with 100% battery. It's phenomenal

Tell that to the guy in the slytherin robes in the section yesterday

NOW we're talking

People said the same thing (it's how we've always done it) about resisting VAR. I don't care what we've done. Deciding games by soccer is better than deciding them by all star game skills competitions. And if it wasn't more entertaining as well, we'd just do the shootout every game.

Extra time should be a 10' period of 10v10. Golden goal. If no goal you move to 10' of 9v9. Repeat until someone scores a soccer goal. No game of consequence should ever be decided by a penalty shootout.

It has been a very big tell that Congress sees themselves in the white supremacist being murdered and not their actual coworker who just liked going to concerts

Conditions are ripe for a wholesale reorientation of the Democratic Party on a scale not seen since the seventies—far more congenial to such a transformation than they were during the Bernie ascendancy of a decade ago.

Such a change isn't guaranteed, but it's possible, and we should act like it.

Give us back Sam Kerr

This on a 2pole

Yo that's wild lmao. Can't wait to see him starting for Edgewater

On the AT there's a woman we sometimes hiked with that would stand out hitching on the road while she had us back at the tree line. Dudes would pull over so fast and she'd be like cool and those guys too and we'd come pouring out of the woods

Instead it’s “Okay, maybe you didn’t vote for it, and if that’s true I’m glad because it means you AREN’T a complete monster, and I’m also glad you’re appropriately upset about it, but even if it’s true it’s not an excuse. You are an adult and you need to do better”

If the recommendation to Democrats was to speak plainly, casually, like a normal person having a real conversation rather than like a politician stumbling through jargon, they’d be gushing about Mamdani and telling Dems to be more like him.

But they’re not, because they really mean something else.

As I say anytime anyone asks, it’s gotta be more fun to be in the movement than to not be in the movement.

if you're not from or have never been to new york i cannot stress enough how normal the subway is 99% of the time. kids take it to school. everyone is basically chill. you learn to be in proximity with harmless weirdos or minor irritations pretty quick. for all its issues it's an incredible thing
