We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

So the women’s team only inspires the next generation of girls to play hockey but the men’s team inspires all Americans, got it got it got it.

What a weird fucking thing to say.

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault. LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith” In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted DOJ keeps lying and losing:

Ilia Malinin showed exponentially more artistry and connection to his music in his exhibition gala skate than in his competition routines. I know there’s less room for that when you’re trying to squeeze in 7 jumps but it was so stark.

For my Lego friends. If you want your own and also get to support a cause, Dan @ Brickmania has these available. (Well not all of these, just the torsos and signs) www.brickmania.com/benefit-bric...

Nice article on why the WNBA's claims of losses don't add up! The trolls will keep saying there are no profits. But anyone who looks into the WNBA/NBA story can't find any evidence to support Adam Silver's story. frontofficesports.com/wnba-owners-...

1) It’s okay for men’s teams and leagues to lose money. Leagues are structured to subsidize men’s teams that lose money. 2) The WNBA’s overly-complicated ownership structure is both hamstringing a lot of things and also providing a convenient shield for the league to hide behind.

ALYSA MF'N LIU GOLD MF'N MEDALIST

5 women, one women's team, and one mixed team have won Olympic gold medals for Team USA at these Olympics. Meanwhile, just one individual male athlete and no men's teams have won gold medals for Team USA Makes you wonder: when will America start investing in men's sports

Team USA had a golden ending at the 2026 Olympics in women's hockey. Not only did they win gold, but they've entrenched themselves as the greatest American women's hockey team, ever. thehockeynews.com/womens/inter... #Olympics2026 #MilanoCortina2026

So great but also, ESPN has had 15 years to get this going. Keep in mind it owned the rights to WNBA, NCAA women’s sports and all four Grand Slams at the height of Serena’s dominance. People pitched these shows. The network didn’t just find out about women’s sports.

My favorite part of Alyssa Liu’s routine was the F bomb she dropped on camera while she was skating off the ice.

Just noticed that the USA across the back of the figure skaters jackets has a toe pick on the S and I love that detail.

Medal ceremony for three whole hockey teams takes a long time…

Black Lady Gold Medal 👏👏 Black Lady Gold Medal 👏👏

put it in the Louvre

I've watched enough soccer now that I kept thinking of a potential hockey shootout as PKs.

The goal that got us to overtime. Like, how even?!?!

🤯🤩

HOLY SHIT HOCKEY OMG

So the moral of the story is rich gay men do all the same privileged shit as rich straight men.

“every time the WNBPA offers to take just 1% less they are giving the NBA $47.1 million. Or to put it differently, moving from 40% of league revenue (where the union started) to asking for 27.5% of league revenue (where the union is now) means the WNBPA has already agreed to give the NBA $589 mil”

😬😬😬

Sarah and @byalexazzi.bsky.social's daily Olympics coverage has been so good.

The running out of time line is "interesting" since the W and owners took 6 weeks to respond to the players previous offer.

With alt text, so everyone can be able to read it

Call the strike!

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

If you've never seen the IIHF's "Power Rankings," consider yourself lucky...that is unless you think mocking the nations in your own Federation, women's hockey, and the athletes who've worked their entire lives to reach the Olympics is funny. thehockeynews.com/womens/inter... #WomensHockey #IIHF

OMG this hoodie.

There’s so much good ice skating tea in here.

I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to Bolero outside of a figure skating context.

USA's Laila Edwards snipes it from the high slot through traffic, 4-0

As the U.S. women begin the medal rounds tonight, read about Laila Edwards. She’s going to change hockey.

I heard @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social has these stickers! You can also grab a (free) print copy or two of the MPD150 Enough is Enough report about Minneapolis and abolition while you're there! While it's from 2020, it is as relevant as ever today.

ICE wanted this Kansas City warehouse. The people resisted and won.

Listening to @guante.info on @convergencemag.com's Block & Build podcast. I can't overstate what a treasure Kyle is. A tremendous artist, activist and organizer, and teacher of how artists can contribute to and be part of movement spaces. convergencemag.com/podcast/arti...

I’ll believe it when I see it. Everything they’ve said about this illegal occupation has been built on a lies. We need accountability for our neighbors and for this whole corrupt department to be dismantled. Stay out there, keep your connection to one another, and only believe your eyes.

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel. One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

How Trump's withdrawal from Minneapolis is being covered abroad. In Le Monde, the lead French daily, the homepage article starts with: "Two people dead, thousands arrested, two cities shaken, and Donald Trump defeated." www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Despite what people are claiming, ICE is still actively threatening the safety and well-being of Minnesotans. Their disregard for the lives of the people of the Twin Cities is evident. These agents are a threat to all of us, and they must leave Minnesota.

Today, ICE engaged in a dangerous, high-speed chase in Saint Paul. Their recklessness and disdain for the safety of our residents led directly to a multi-car collision, even if ICE vehicles weren't the ones to hit other cars.
