Access to pharmaceutical services is a growing and deepening crisis in this country. It’s been building for a long time, and for a number of reasons, and it’s not being talked about enough. So, let’s do that. 🧵 1/11

38 year old ankles on turf (he's just like me)

I've been ejected from the #Crew96 match because a security guard thinks they saw me wave an unapproved flag after being warned about waving an unapproved flag.

The flag in question:

U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for:

700,000 public housing units
500,000 low-income kids receiving health care
500,000 veterans receiving VA care
600,000 kids in Head Start

Showing the inside tags of an old sweaty Ms baseball hat

Inside tag of a baseball hat stating that it is 100% polyester and made in the U.S.

Don't remember the exact year I bought my Ms hat, probably close to 15 years ago, still 100% polyester but least made in the US (probably just stitched here).

Do Hessians love Bourbon?

"Tort Reform" is tort limitation. A blanket legislative barrier to ppl seeking legal recourse.

Soccer and public transit go together like PB&J. Lyon subway in 2019.

ECS was also denied use of most of our matchday equipment, and our usual GA sections had crazy inflated price point. Also spector of ICE agents taints our enthusiasm for these matches.

Much worse macro beer ownerships out there.

Only time I have ever bothered to share a .@theathletic.bsky.social article with my non-soccer sicko friends was from Pablo and Matt Pentz about Wee Willie McLean. If NYT also scales back their woso coverage I'm done subscribing. Didn't know it was possible to still be disappointed in that paper

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”

So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Spaten Optimator or the smoked rauch beers sound cool.

Everyone knows about peer support for MH clients or the unhoused or for vets. This type of support lays bare the inherent harm of our carceral system as it operates as intended and I experienced when talking with my clients about pleas or sentencing involving a number of months in the triple digits.

There are a lot of great breweries in your town (and in Minneapolis) but I always make a visit to the Black Hart because of the space you all have created both for soccer and things more important.

OUR NEW SCORING KING.

A great two pole for PDX away.
