Why the USL’s expansion-first business model is breeding instability in American soccer Clubs are folding at a breakneck pace, but the USL keeps cashing expansion fee checks.

As clubs fold, the USL’s business model is breeding instability in American soccer.

With expansion fee revenue staying at USL HQ, it doesn't matter if your team is around for a year or a decade.

The check cashes either way, writes @usltactics.com.

Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.

Step 1: Take away ID’s
Step 2: Require ID to vote
Step 3: Exec branch nationalizes elections

This should be a 4 alarm fire

Every day the USLPA shares testimonials from players who have dealt with substandard facilities, housing and benefits while the league gleefully sells us on pro/rel and D1.

There are still 20% of teams who DO NOT EVEN OFFER health insurance. It’s time for the USL to act like a grown up league.

TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion SBC President Clint Pressley endorsed the effort saying it would “provide preborn children with equal protection of the laws.”

The struggle is real

Text box over a picture of the Blue Crew section holding a sign that says Trans People Belong. Text reads: We're disgusted, dismayed, and quite frankly, terrified by the actions of the Kansas State legislature over the last couple weeks, which has accelerated to a new frightening degree by the invalidation of driver's licenses and birth certificates. Trans people belong. Trans people have always been here. Trans people will always be here. We will never stop fighting for our neighbors, our friends, our community. We will share and amplify resources on how you can help the trans community in Kansas

Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

Help Kelly Pannek

This one is for a REAL need and imma hopeful that an auto company gonna step up. KELLY PANNEK from the women’s hockey team got hits by someone who totaled her car. She needs a new car.

Lots of brands commenting that they want to help,, but few truly stepping up. Who can help,??

I'm seeing a lot of lawsky saying how blatantly unconstitutional the Kansas law invalidating trans people's licenses is and I don't know know how to tell them that the federal court won't do anything about this. The passport case showed SCOTUS explicitly approves of this sort of thing.

Timo Werner has landed (at SFO to be exact). #Quakes74

I have a crazy idea, @thepwhl.com

Truly astounding as a trans person to watch your community be told we're not worthy of consideration by Democrats on Monday, be told to be silent and grateful all of Tuesday, and by Wednesday an entire state has criminalized trans citizens' existence.

if I catch A SINGLE ONE OF YOU doing this to our trans friends in Kansas, I will fucking wreck you.

the politicians doing this to Kansas are evil. the people it is being done to deserve support and help and to not have to deal with your sadistic little jokes. grow a fucking soul.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Bush era war monger Bill Kristol continues to run absolute circles around Democratic Congressional leadership in standing up for democracy and fighting against authoritarianism

This is unspeakably cruel and dangerous for trans people in Kansas and the precedent it sets for other states.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.
