Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

I’d rather have Lamar and Derick Henry together, and if that’s what it took then so be it

IMO the Lamar + Henry combo in a backfield and what it does for the offense make conventional arguments about RB contracts and RB value meaningless.

Nose tackles over 300 pounds and under 6-2 should be eligible for the double 00

Who’s gonna sigh the Justin Houston of Jadaveon Clowney this year?” @qbklass.bsky.social

Sadly it’s the same team - The Ravens. Houston in 2021 & 2022, Clowney in 2023. Can throw in Kyle Van Noy in 2023 & 2024 too.

Zay flowers could be one. They said in the end of year press conference he might have an off season procedure.

We rarely see full speed Lamar and it’s a beautiful thing when it happens

He’s played 16 of 124 snaps the last two games. Don’t think it’s a Dionte Johnson thing
