This line ought to set off a huge alarm at MLS HQ: "The Loons were negotiating transfer deals with Slovenian midfielder Tomi Horvat and Dutch defender Cherrion Valerius, but both players cited concerns about life in Minnesota for them and their families as why they declined contracts with MNUFC."

This is Callie. She is trained to accurately detect bowel cancer in order to provide rapid diagnoses through non-invasive testing. Some might call it lab work, but Callie is actually a sprocker spaniel. 14/10 incredible job, Callie (IG: medicaldetectiondogs)

The world would learn so much from Norway...

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

I think about this post a lot.

Layoffs over the last year: UPS: 48,000 Amazon: 32000 Intel: 27,159 Microsoft: 15,387 Nestle: 16000 Verizon: 15000 Google: 12000 Chevron: 8000 Paramount: 7000 Walmart: 7000 P&G: 7000 Estée Lauder: 7000 Your reminder that massive corporate tax cuts don’t create jobs, they create profits.

This monstrous piece of filth somehow thinks he’s entitled to voice public opinions. Time to drive his happy clapping arse from public life.

So it was a /premeditated/ assassination then?

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

If you don’t want to be identified while enforcing the law pick another fucking job

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

The Invasion Day rally in Boorloo/Perth was targeted and attacked with an explosive device. The silence from the right has been deafening. The same politicians who have spent the last month politicising violence are now nowhere to be found.

Trump saying other people arrange false flag attacks on them speaking in public 👀👀👀

U.S. Homeland Security agents provided security support at past Olympics. But after violence by ICE agents in Minneapolis, some Italian officials say an ICE unit is unwelcome in Milan Cortina. n.pr/4qPQWhq

While the dictionary may suggest that terrorism is when anyone uses unlawful violence for political means, many understand that the application of the term becomes impacted by 'other factors'... chaser.com.au/general-news...

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

News rooms urge caution around using the word 'terrorism' when talking about throwing a bomb at an Invasion Day protest, "it's not like something extreme happened like a uni student eating a slice of watermelon."

Why?

Racism is so entrenched in Australia that when someone throws a bomb into a peaceful protest, of 2000 First Nations Peoples and their allies, that we call it unacceptable instead of what it actually is, terrorism.

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

Either that, or he's getting ready to MoonWalk...

‘A militia that kills’: uproar in Italy over ICE security role at Winter Olympics

They wonder why they keep losing elections....

Here’s a big dose of nostalgia https://youtu.be/_xd8hpS6IlQ?si=qevvmNXG1JVUc7k9

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It's so crazy to see so many politicians running terrified away from even hinting at saying this very simple, very obvious, extremely popular thing, which also happens to be a clear moral imperative.

ICE shouldn't be allowed to retreat to some safer zone. There is no appropriate place for them. Every ICE employee should be charged with crimes against humanity, same for every member of the Trump administration. Nothing else is good enough. "ICE out" means "out of existence."

They're retreating. It's time to advance. Resignations, prosecutions. Motherfucking tribunals.

Nearly every interaction I ever had with Rado, either over Zoom or in person, I left it feeling better about myself. There's not many people you can say that about in life. Vale Rado Vidošić. You will be missed.

Dario Vidošić has posted on Instagram that his father Rado Vidošić has passed away after a battle with cancer. Rado's impact on Australian football is difficult to sum up in a tweet, but his greatest contribution to football might be being one of the nicest people in the game.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

So let me get this straight.... this cunt isn't up for terrorist charges or attempted murder? Anyone calling for a royal commission? No thumping of lecturns? No moral panic? Fuck all the way off www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Go with honor.

(This lack would also be why right-wing comedy sucks, right-wing art isn't so much, and none of them see any problem at all with AI slop.)

ACAB I know, but when a cop clearly trying to do the right thing is pressured into quitting, it's time to throw the entire system in the bin and start over from scratch.

And here in the last sentence you see what these PR moves are all about: A government shutdown is looming on Friday over more DHS funding, and they are maneuvering to blame Democrats.

😭😭😭😭😭😭

yeah, i really do think the MAGAs hilariously overrated how popular Twitter ever actually was

Afterwards, I asked if he wanted a hug. He nodded & gave me a big bear hug. When it ended, he had tears in his eyes. “This is my neighborhood. I used to eat there all the time as kid,” he pointed down the road to a pho shop behind me. “I loved it.” “Now it’s all ruined.”

Heartbreaking

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community. I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

BREAKING: OMG! There are Nazis at the Nazi march! Truly incredible stuff from the Channel 9 papers here...

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Zohran Mamdani is they singularly most impressive politician anywhere in the world at the moment.... seemingly the only one that understands the role of politicians is public service...

Starting a civil war for control of a country you already control, real brain genius shit dudes

guy destroying society one way bravely calls out other way society is being destroyed

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal
