Down The Bastards

It's a brisk morning here in Tulsa, likely to be around 51° at kickoff, and the crowd is starting to fill in nicely at ONEOK Field.

The last time Tulsa won a pro soccer title, it was the Tulsa Roughnecks in the NASL in 1983. #USL-C

A crowd shot of fans holding signs, mostly facing the field, with one in the bottom right able to be more clearly read.

Another display as the CBS broadcast readies for the second half, this time with fans holding signs reading the same message:

“USL HQ: Pro/rel?

Try pro standards first.”

USL keeps making news about its pro/rel plans, expansion teams, and stadiums, but this is the issue that casts a black cloud over all of it. youtu.be/9Y46wOVIl8w

Stand up for pro standards. We stand with the USLPA.

Whether on the field or the factory floor, every worker deserves a safe workplace and dignity and respect on the job.

All of America’s unions stand in solidarity with USL players as they stand up and fight for the pro standards they deserve.

hashtag resist libs coming up for air after a long day of mocking Trump's weight and appearance: omg did you see how he called that woman a piggie?!

People don't feel empowered to call a grown, professional woman "piggie" if they had been properly humbled at appropriate times in their life. And even more so if there was documentation of that humiliation. Anyway, if any time travelers read this, please take my suggestion under consideration.

if somebody called my colleague a piggie we would have a fucking problem like sharpish

Here is one of the Gen Z protestors in Mexico, former president and ex Coca Cola executive Vicente Fox. He has been reported to have helped ignite the cartel wars and to have conspired with the Sinaloa cartel, using state power during his administration to target its rivals.

Court blocks Texas's mid-decade redistricting, finding it likely unconstitutional, with DOJ largely to blame "DOJ Asked Texas to Engage in Unlawful Racial Gerrymandering," Judge Jeffrey V. Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote for the 2-1 majority. Texas is appealing to the Supreme Court.

Law Dork:

My connection to Catalonia runs deep—my family is from there, I was born near Barcelona, and the conflict impacted my loved ones and childhood friends. Later, I shifted my focus back to Palestine, driven by the urgent need to expose the genocide and atrocities committed by Israel to the world.

Before the match between Catalonia and Palestine, the victims of the conflict were remembered with “El cant dels ocells.”

#CatalunyaPalestina

Football legend and Man City manager Pep Guardiola encouraging fans to fill the stadium for the Palestine–Catalonia charity match on Tuesday, 18 November in Barcelona.

Catalonia played Palestine tonight at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in front of over 30,000 spectators to raise money to help those suffering in Gaza.

30,018 people turned out today at the Lluís Companys stadium for the match Catalunya-Palestine. A proof of the popular support for Palestine among Catalans, and a setback for all the Zionists in the Catalan Countries and all over the world

What the spat between Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene tells us about the disarray in the Democratic Party.

slandering other white women is my cultural heritage as a white woman

Flyer that states, "Protest update: Our protest against the racist American Renaissance conference is still happening! Saturday, Nov 15, 10AM at the Montgomery Bell Park Office and Visitor Center. 1020 Jackson Hill Rd. Burns, TN 37029. Rain or shine!"

Montgomery Bell state park was hit with storm damage leading to several felled trees and closure of park trails. However, the Lodge is open, the road accessing the lodge (via highway 70) is open, AmRen is still approaching, and we will still be there! Stay tuned for a protest schedule.

An "American Renaissance is waiting on us," claim the guys who would have AI carve a statue of David with 15 toes and three arms if it meant their investment portfolios marginally improved.

Fucking Christ the bastards have Fast Tracked this. Fuck the Democratic Party to Hell.

The search for Gaza's missing Over 11,000 Palestinians have disappeared since Oct. 7. Relatives don't know if they're dead or alive, under rubble or in prison.

"Since the ceasefire went into effect, I have been staring at people's faces in the street, looking for my two brothers."

"The war is over, so why haven't they come back."

"[M]ore than 11,000 Palestinians reported missing."

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

"Schumer is absolutely useless. His instincts towards spineless politics are the exact opposite of what Democrats need in the second Trump era and it's long past time for him to be run out of his position as Minority Leader.

....I can't help but notice the silence [of Senate Dems] this morning."

The admin wants all social safety nets gone and especially hates the ACA, Medicare & Medicaid, and programs like SNAP. They want everything privatized or just not to exist. And they've demonstrated repeatedly they won't let anything stop them.

Well, at least i've only gotten one "So you wanted people to starve???" thing in my mentions. I'm sorry but if you think the Dems are playing some kind of clever long chess play here for "incremental change" I have bad news. My 46yo ass has seen this before. It's just complicity.

look you plebs, this is how JOURNALISM is done

I’m reminded this morning of Coates’s remarks re cowardice and the Senate’s tendency to describe itself as “the greatest deliberative body in the world.”

Defending this institution is using it in moral ways, ways that can demand courage.

📌I can't stop banging this drum: Democrats had a spectacular Tuesday at the polls, the wind at their backs, and basically punched themselves and their voters in the face five days later.

This is political malpractice at best, and out and out brazen capitulation to their billionaire donors at worst.
