Love a good break to talk to one of the least interesting people in human history, who is also having a hard time hearing the questions

Outside of the loss of regular week in week out team coverage, the Washington Post was integral in uncovering the rot at the Spirit during the Baldwin/Burke era. The Spirit simply are no where near the team or organization they are today without that investigation by the Post

What gatekeeping nonsense! Listening/watching people get excited about reading makes me happy even if I don't enjoy the same genres as they do. Maybe it's because I try not be a self-righteous jerk...

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

I have been warning for weeks the administration will do anything to get these records. They want to rig the midterms

🚨“The letter adds the state’s unwillingness to share voting data to a litany of grievances the Trump administration has leveled against Minnesota.”🚨

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

From a couple of hours ago: Spirit GK Lyza Jessee has announced her retirement.

Long battle with a wrist injury over the last 18 months, but a really well-liked figure behind the scenes at the club.

Letter from an Occupied Minnesota I want to write a bit about the last month in the Twin Cities.

If you haven't read the homie @wesburdine.bsky.social's posts on the federal invasion of Minnesota yet, I highly recommend setting aside some weekend time for 'em.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

This is how you fascist.

I keep thinking about the morality of sharing videos and I'm stuck on the fact that its almost the only ethical thing to do as our national media has become completely unreliable. Making sure Jan from down the street knows what happened is vital as CBS is out here literally saying thank you Marco

Anyone engaged in violence—especially against law enforcement—should be fully prosecuted.

Graham said, “Count me out. Enough is enough.” Graham called Biden the “legitimate president of the United States,” and told colleagues definitively that “it is over” and the Biden-Harris administration would begin on January 20th. Earlier Wednesday, supporters of Trump breached the U.S. Capitol, forcing a lockdown of the lawmakers and staff inside. Trump has claimed widespread voter fraud to explain away his defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, though election officials have said there wasn’t any. Graham said that “if you’re a conservative,” the idea that Vice President Mike Pence could reverse the results of the election, as President Donald Trump had urged him to do, was “the most offensive concept in the world.”

“There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” McConnell said. “The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

When supporters were invited to lead a cheer from center circle after the final regular season game in 2024 it was Brittany Ratcliffe who organized a player tunnel and invited supporters to run through at the end. It sits pretty high on my list of favorite Spirit moments and I’m a fan for life

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

National political media will spend way more time and energy parsing every development in Minnesota than they will spend on the fucking enormous and raging actual scandals, corruption, law breaking and war-mongering from and by Trump

They're wired to hound Dems but never apply same standards to him

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

We named the cat we got last Spring Gabby. We joked about naming her after a Spirit player and then it turned out she was rather vocal. 😂

Setting aside how dumb the actual substance rule is for a second, have something called to HIP rule is the least hip thing imaginable...

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Love the classic look!

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.

1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

This is old management vs labor relations trick. higher earning tradesmen didn’t make common cause with so called unskilled laborers for similar reasons.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

It's just such an obvious win for every NWSL club to have Rodman in the league. A massive endorsement for the entire project, that all their Brand partners will enjoy hearing about.

We should not be here.
