About 2 hours before the Sounders CONCACAF Champions Cup match on Wednesday against Cruz Azul, we were informed by CONCACAF officials that they determined our "Black Lives Matter" flag to be racist and that it would not be allowed.

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

Protect this law at all costs !

In the center of this image, taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is the galaxy cluster SDSS J1038+4849 β€” and it seems to be smiling.

You can make out its two orange eyes and white button nose. In the case of this β€œhappy face”, the two eyes are very bright galaxies and the misleading smile lines are actually arcs caused by an effect known as strong gravitational lensing.

Galaxy clusters are the most massive structures in the Universe and exert such a powerful gravitational pull that they warp the spacetime around them and act as cosmic lenses which can magnify, distort and bend the light behind them. This phenomenon, crucial to many of Hubble’s discoveries, can be explained by Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

In this special case of gravitational lensing, a ring β€” known as an Einstein Ring β€” is produced from this bending of light, a consequence of the exact and symmetrical alignment of the source, lens and observer and resulting in the ring-like structure we see here.

Hubble has provided astronomers with the tools to probe these massive galaxies and model their lensing effects, allowing us to peer further into the early Universe than ever before. This object was studied by Hubble’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) as part of a survey of strong lenses.

A version of this image was entered into the Hubble’s Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestant Judy Schmidt.

In remarks to the Daily Dot, a hacker from the puppygirl hacker polycule said the group targeted Lexipol because there aren’t β€œenough hacks against the police.”

β€œSo we took matters into our own paws,” the hacker said.

This is important. Some soccer journalists are on Bluesky now, but virtually no official sources are.

We need better sports coverage to displace Twitter completely.

FT. #ATLUTD wins 2-0 vs Revs with goals from ThiarΓ© and Klich! Miguel Almiron plays his first minutes for Atlanta United again. Decent run out with a little more cohesion in some aspects. Thoughts?

STEP 1: Donald does something stupid.

STEP 2: Donald is surprised there are consequences.

STEP 3: Donald backs down.

STEP 4: Donald lies, claiming things already agreed to are new concessions he forced by the stupid thing he did.

STOP 5: REPEAT
