One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback.

When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

jessica berman doesnโ€™t deserve the league and its players. she made a name for herself by being slightly better than lisa baird โ€“ primarily by not getting in the way of the nwslpa. now that she has clout and notoriety, and feels important, sheโ€™s consistently made choices that prioritize her ego.

This is moving.

Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through.

What could have beenโ€ฆ

glorifying this is silly, Iโ€™m sorry. between this and the bonmati meningitis stuff, theyโ€™re setting a horrible standard for player health.

You can't tell me you understand the full legacy of that team if you keep calling up that player up. We'll see what October brings.

Tech bros donโ€™t want to save the world. They want to own it, brand it, license it, and charge you a monthly fee to visit.

The streets will never forget what she did for the game.

Tobin Heath didnโ€™t just play the gameโ€”she influenced it. Congratulations on your retirement Tobin.

Jamal Musiala potentially having his career ruined all so the crooks at FIFA can get a little bit richer off a meaningless tournament in the middle of the off-season

Football is a joke

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more.

Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

America has never truly apologized for slavery, internment camps, stolen land, or the laws that made some people disposable. You canโ€™t heal what you refuse to name.It was legal to beat your wife in parts of the U.S. until 1982. Legal. Thatโ€™s not ancient history itโ€™s the rot we still havenโ€™t dug out

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.
