A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

He fell through the roof, then did the trust fall. I was scared he was going to do some insane jump off that power line too!

A f@&ing ICE commercial?!???
I thought all the AI commercials were bad but…damn. They won the race to the bottom

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Why can’t the billionaires just buy a private island somewhere, sail their mega yachts to it and leave the rest of us alone?

zakiya bywaters publicly exposed rory dames’ abuse of players in 2016, six years before the yates report. six. years. think of how much suffering players could’ve been spared if the league had simply listened to and believed her.

That chair is now the Assy Knoll

Today, we celebrate 100 years of honoring the Black leaders, creators, and changemakers who shaped our history and those who will continue to move us forward. This month and every month. 💚

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Guess he won’t qualify for that High Impact Coach contract

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

He chose the wrong cup at the end of that Indiana Jones movie

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

The soccer is what got the league to this point. Now that the league is at the point where it is extremely viable, the marketers and “business” people just want to take over and leave the soccer behind. They think whatever scheme they can come up with is more important than the actual product

Fingers crossed

THAT math, definitely ain’t mathin’

Rose Room Collective applauds Michele Kang, The Washington Spirit, and Trinity Rodman on working and coming together to find a fair contract that is compliant within the leagues current CBA. Furthermore, we support the NWSLPA in their mission to stop the NWSL and Commissioner Berman's labor suppressive intervention and hinderance of Trinity Rodman's free agency rights and access to a contract that compensates her adequately.

RRC calls on supporters groups and fans throughout the league to stand up for players rights. The best players deserve to be able to play here in the NWSL and be fairly compensated for their talent, expertise, and dedication to the game, without a second thought. The NWSL is supposed to be the standard-bearer for women's soccer and sport in the world and it's time for the conversation around fair pay to reflect that. Women's sports have evolved and so must the NWSL evolve too or fall further behind to irrelevancy. Our support is not a charity. #PayTrinityPayEveryone #NotTheAmateurWomensSoccerLeague

#PayTrinityPayEveryone

We are disappointed by the NWSL’s decision to veto the contract between Washington Spirit and Trinity Rodman, and we stand with the NWSLPA in opposition to the “HIP” rule. Such a rule will create two tiers of players: those who are considered “high impact” and those who are not, based on nebulous criteria. It will also allow the league to continue to interfere in negotiations between the players and the teams. Instead, we urge the league to adopt the NWSLPA’s proposal to raise the salary cap.

Commissioner Berman has stated the league will “fight for” Trinity, but its actions demonstrate otherwise. The league’s actions so far undermine free agency, and they will suppress wages and harm the league’s growth. This is greater than one player and one team. Current and former NWSL players fought for years for adequate pay and the right to decide where they play. We will not go back.

We believe that no human is illegal, and we adamantly support the freedom of all people to live without hatred, violence, and discrimination. Recently, Minnesotan immigrant and minority communities have been experiencing targeted unlawful enforcement action. Now, more than ever, we stand with our immigrant friends & neighbors. There is no room for bigotry on our turf."

What’s in the case?

I read this as “vomiting at their feet” and honestly…that works too

It was fun when he was an amusing footnote. Now it is too much.

Saving them all up for this weekend

Is it too late to change his book title to “Egging Rubiales”?
