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.

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.

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

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

Eine Schiedsrichterin wird von Fans sexistisch beleidigt - und niemand sagt was.
So geschehen am vergangenen Freitag beim Spiel Verl vs. RW Essen. Einzig die WAZ hat den Vorfall als Schlagzeile, bezeichnet die Gesรคnge als "geschmacklos" und "nicht zitierfรคhig". Ich hab sie trotzdem zitiert.

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie.

Same as it ever was.
