IT’S ALMOST TIME 🍒💣 
Our inaugural season is right around the corner. 
Lock in your tickets before it all kicks off! Link in bio.

We are live.

New: I’ve spent the last few days talking to Black women in Congress about the VRA decision and what it means for them “We’re gonna hang strong and make sure that we fight against this,” @repterrisewell.govpeeps.us told me 19thnews.org/2026/05/blac...

The Whitecaps belong in Vancouver. Cascadia needs to have the Whitecaps. A relocation is a travesty of the highest degree. Folks, it really is as simple as #SaveTheCaps.

I agree with this post completely. 107ist.org/TimbersArmyB... #SaveTheCaps

The @southsiders.ca #SaveTheCaps rally outside the FIFA Congress:

This guy is a Precourt vol 2

Holy cow, Marie. And nice assist Pietra. #baonpdx

I love vote by mail

the Sacramento zoo has 6 BABY CAPYBARAS

Hey #RCTID you can support the Southsiders campaign to #SaveTheCaps here by signing their wall savethecaps.com

New @EmpirePodUK mini-series: Liberator of Latin America or infamous Dictator: Simón Bolívar vs The Spanish Empire

The Vancouver Whitecaps continue to work on an in-market solution for a new stadium, as their lease at BC Place expires at the end of this year. Whitecaps fans have begun a #SAVETHECAPS movement to keep the storied club home.

Amnesty International warn against travel to the U.S. Soccer is great, but know what you risk — lengthy incarceration, travel restrictions, invasive search of devices, state-sponsored violence, and more… www.amnestyusa.org/blog/2026-wo... #fifa #Trump

Late scratch meant no she/no subs for our match after the first 15 minutes. My knees and hamstrings are very sore from 60 minutes of play.

Listening to the Thorns on the radio because I don't have ESPN. Its nice to have the option. #baonpdx

We just dropped a limited batch of $5 tickets at gothamfc.com/mayor for the Gotham FC May 9th home game vs. Boston Legacy. I'll be there. Will you? Grab a $5 ticket at gothamfc.com/mayor before they're gone!

I have a Google alert set for my name and apparently I have a side gig running a historic opera house in Kansas

Well done Timbers. Held tough and didn't let the calls get them down. #rctid

I've missed an excited Jake on the call. #rctid

#DENvSD Match 🧵 @denversummitfc.bsky.social announce a sold out crowd for their return home tonight. Depending on if the extra bleachers are still up from USWNTvJPNWNT, that’s 17-18k fans in attendance. Colorado is a Summit State #SummitUp

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif

A free t-shirt opening night? Stares at the Blazers playoff napkins and shake my head in sorrou.

Its very weird that fans sit right next to the players in basketball.

I see the Chris Armas Experience is still going as expected

'This is a Gardening Show' on Netflix is a breezy soothing watch. 15 minute episodes are the perfect length.

BREAKING: We're joining over 120 organizations issuing a travel advisory to warn anyone visiting the U.S. for the 2026 FIFA World Cup of possible civil and human rights violations. FIFA must pressure the Trump administration to protect the people traveling to and working at the games.

Intrigued

I turned on the game and the Blazers won. You're welcome. #RipCity

The quote treats are great. Trends include JFK assassination, who really killed the princes in the tower and Jordan's 1st retirement from basketball

I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via @archive.org I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection. blog.archive.org/2026/04/20/u...

Bye, Felicia Happy Valley, you've gotta have some stories of her time as Mayor

Fun 7v7 tonight. Our matches this year seem more competitive, games are won by a goal and they're not high scoring.

A lady in our 40+ decrepit middle-aged soccer group is a leg amputee. She hopes to play in the US Amputee Women’s World Cup next year (she just started playing last year). But she says they need more players. Please repost, maybe someone knows someone. www.usampsoccer.org/post/the-wom...

The judge did not mince words

Into every generation is born a Slayer

My latest. I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer. One way media can fight back against male violence: If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more. You’re her killer. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

We’re officially two months out from the publication of my book, A Second Sight: How Black Mediamakers Push America Toward Freedom (June 16, 2026), and I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the early reception its already getting. You can pre-order (on discount) and support local bookstores here:

I spent 7 years researching Bill Richmond, an extraordinary figure in British-American history who was born enslaved but became one of Britain’s earliest Black sporting celebrities — a blue plaque would be wonderful, so please donate if you can 👇

I always learn something from his threads (complimentary)

The wait is over! Worn first by our inaugural players, Lucy & PK. 🍒💣 Rep your team like a true Cherry Bomb.  shopcherrybombs.com/collections/...

Y'all have been cool, so continuing the short-lived tradition of sharing stuff here first by announcing that REPO MAN director Alex Cox is coming to the theater this July with his new film. cstpdx.com/event/an-eve...

Like Colin Kaepernick, former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe sacrificed his NFL career to stand up for his values. Now he's running for a California assembly seat. My story, with quotes from @robertgarcia.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/714...

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

IDK, I think Vatican City's low crime rate indicates they're pretty tough on crime. 😉 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_i...

The posts with the woodland and wildflower hashtags are very soothing

My last ditch appeal asking those who care about journalism to fill out a new survey from the Society of Professional Journalists asking for YOUR feedback on updating SPJ's Code of Ethics. Poll is open until 11:59 p.m. TODAY! https://loom.ly/FtiGi3g

I'll need you to back away from the chainsaw until you score a winning sunshine goal
