This game has hotted up nicely #CROvPAN

Just can’t with any side that includes Thomas Partey. Ashamed he ever wore the Arsenal shirt.

Minnesotans are living through a coordinated campaign of retribution from the Trump Administration. Funding cuts. Lawsuits. Terrorizing our citizens. Today, I filed 16 FOIA requests to find out how far this campaign reaches.

Harry Kane what are you doing

Two defendants who received 50 years each, Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, were never accused of helping plan the demonstration here. They arrived separately, left the protest when guards asked them to, and were not accused of any act of violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/prairie...

I dust my house. My AI Robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Sounds bad.

Once again, I am asking why no one took those of us with the actual expertise who were actually doing the work and understood the risks and were shouting from the rooftops warning about this seriously. This isn't new information, this was predictable. News outlets need to start expressing that.

Haaland is inevitable.

::baseball sad face::

Ruh roh spoke too soon.

No Arsenal you may not sell Martin Odegaard.

Haaland owed that one - Norway is rolling!

Disabled students in this country are about to get bounced between three different federal agencies just to get the education they’re legally entitled to.

Haaland that was a beast of a header but how did you miss that open goal on the first strike?

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump is eager to seize the Smithsonian, @clintsmithiii.bsky.social writes. He profiles the institution’s leader, Lonnie Bunch, and explores how he’s managed to survive the chaos—for now. theatln.tc/fpRhFV40

Norge!!!

Let’s go Cabo Verde!!!

Uruguay as a nation seems pretty great. Uruguay as a soccer team just makes me mad.

Pundits: "The left doesn't know how to make appeals with patriotism!" Protestor at Delaney Hall waving an American flag:

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

All the chatter about the Henry Zlatan Lalas stuff is detracting from the real story which is the pure class that is Rebecca Lowe, who may be the best sports anchor regularly broadcasting on US television.

Loved this photo so much when I first saw it during the height of the AIDS epidemic. Boxer Roberto Durán embracing his terminally ill rival Esteban De Jesús in an AIDS ward in 1989. They were fierce rivals, fought three times in the 1970s. Still brings tears to my eyes.

Just a normal morning in our police state

Spain needs Mikel Merino on the field to finish some of these crosses in the air. Not that they are short on firepower today.

Great night to kick off the Special Olympics USA Games in Minnesota!

A reminder on Father's Day that the history of the American Revolution is about more than Founding Fathers. IOW Dad Books can be about moms, daughters, sisters, aunts, wives, friends, and compatriots.

The Society for Historians for the Early American Republic has recently kicked off a civics education initiative. If you need to find a highly trained historian to speak to your group/class, you can find the nearest person here by location and subject matter expertise 👇 cc @shearites.bsky.social

If you know the particular mix of love, sacrifice, expectation, and guilt that comes with immigrant parents, please read this one. Out Sept 15. And happy Father’s Day! @aadeleon.bsky.social

Damn, Shaggy looks rough after the latest breakup of the Scooby Gang

Gonna need a “Cool Runnings” style film of the Curaçao WC team if only for the opportunity to see Owen Wilson play the Ecuadorian coach

Ecuador coach would be dying at these near misses if he didn’t have such an immaculate vibe.

Thanks to @uncpress.bsky.social for sending along an advance reader copy of @rachelshelden.bsky.social’s forthcoming book. I know how hard she has been working on it. Can’t wait to dig in.

17,500 The U.S. refugee admissions cap, now aimed largely at white South Africans, even as 117.8 million people are displaced worldwide. The first global drop in displacement in a decade arrives as the U.S. shuts the door and refugee funding collapses.

The Comical of Higher Education has a bold proposal to radically remake academia, written by someone who didn't get tenure at Yale in 2008 and then left academia altogether. What's next? A hot take on the humanities by a guy who took an American Studies class pass-fail in 1997?

I know it’s just an advanced reader copy, but look at this beauty!! Thank you so much for sending, @sonyabonczek.bsky.social! (Sonya’s the one to ask if you’re looking for one!)

Needs to be said.

I didn’t go to the mailbox last night expecting to receive the Advance Reader Copy of the single best book on the 19th century history of the US Supreme Court (with enormous implications for today’s SCOTUS, such as it is or isn’t) but there it was! Congratulations @rachelshelden.bsky.social

Love this initiative. Three cheers for @lucaschurch.bsky.social and @uncpress.bsky.social for bringing these narratives back into print!

This pairs nicely with our episode of the Broadside. Anisa and Jared asked me one of my favorite questions about communism and socialism in the South. www.wunc.org/podcast/the-...

”Juneteenth Has Always Been About Black Liberation” by Kaitlyn Greenidge for Harper’s Bazaar. An oral history, as told by members of the Winston-Salem Chapter of The Black Panther Party. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

Booker T. Washington’s legacy is shaped in part by the fact he had to hide his funding of voting and civil rights lawsuits during his lifetime; I know his work on Giles v. Harris didn’t come to light until the 1950s.

So perfectly savage. Inject it straight into my veins.

Happy Juneteenth! The National Museum of African American History & Culture has a page on "The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth" if you're kind of vague of about the basics. And even if you're not.

Happy Juneteenth, DC. Fannie Lou Hamer said it plainly, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Today is Juneteenth, a celebration marking the day the news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas.

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...
