#OTD 2001 – Brian Schmetzer, 39, Sounders player in both NASL & A-League eras and Seattle native, is named Sounders head coach. He served as player/assistant coach with Seattle SeaDogs from 1995-97 and is coaching director of Emerald City FC.

Players of FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds emerge for the USL final wearing shirts calling for better working conditions. The USLPA want "real wages, safety, healthcare, and year-round support." "Pro rel? Try pro standards first," reads the message on the shirts.

The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers. They got a very polite “fuck off.” “The Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities.” - Tribal Chair E.K. Choke

Paul Pogba and Hakim Ziyech join letter saying that venues should not welcome 'a regime that commits genocide'.

I wish Seattle Children's were better about gender affirming care, but donating to Extra Life and I'll match my donations here with one to Trans Lifeline. They're all good kids. translifeline.org

Sooooo in the 11th round Andrew gets to take and they don't, right? RIGHT?

I broke my pinky in a @weareecs.bsky.social FC match once. Called my bench to bring me tape, wrapped it up, and played 20 minutes before the ref figured it out and forced me out of the game. You got this Andrew!

Are you fucking kidding me

Well, fuck.

hopefully it's only a matter of time until people put their phones down and directly interrupt these kidnappings & forced disappearances. But as many cases of history have shown - this has not been the case in response to public state terror (Argentina in the 70s being one example)

It sucks to not be able to watch your local football team just because you won't give money to whichever evil megacorp bought up the streaming rights. Football is for the people and the community.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

We're at $7400, thank you all so much for donating and sharing! Let's keep going and hit the $10k stretch goal!

Scrolling election results and learning that a coworker was running for and may have won a city council seat in the city we work is weird. I'm sure there are company rules against campaigning in the workplace but I had 0 idea he was even involved in politics?!?

We have passed our first few goals, and now set a big stretch goal of 10k! To help push us there I'm going to offer a match tonight (up to some total limit). You just need to: 1) Donate before the end of the day 2) Share the post below with a pic of your donation and tag me. Can't donate? Share!

MATCHDAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Mutual aid should be a threat to the state, not a substitute for its “failures.” It is saying “the state does not do this & will not do this because it is built to oppress & exploit.” Mutual aid is a radical act of caring for each other outside of those systems of oppression.

THREAD: been seeing some threads of anti-fascist textual sources that were overwhelmingly academic, so here's a list of non-academic, rooted in radical/revolutionary politics & community, literature on anti-fascism in the United States (and in some cases Canada), in no order whatsoever

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY CARL!!

We extend our support past the boys on the pitch to our community. The current government shut-down has been felt throughout our community. We are joining together to help support and feed those in need by hosting a virtual food drive benefitting Food Lifeline. mtyc.co/vqtb5g

This might be the best line from a courtroom since "I'm... I'm not a cat"

It’s so funny how much Loons fans hate the sounders. Like brother we do not think about you.

Pumped out a pint for BloodWorksNW in 4min46s today, which has me wishing I had recorded my times in the past. Anyone out there keep track of their PR? Or can I find it in my donation history??

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

As our community faces greater challenges in the coming weeks and months, mutual aid is how we keep our community fed, warm, and safe. There are a lot of active Mutual Aid groups in Seattle, check out the linktree with information on how to donate and get involved. linktr.ee/MutualAidSea...

#OTD 2014 – Before 57,673, Sounders get two late goals from substitute Marco Pappa to top LA Galaxy 2-0 to claim Supporters' Shield and club-record 20th win.

This looks so good, and they really got me with the bundle options

The liberal media, eh? Conservatives dominate local TV news, thanks to Sinclair's near 300 stations Conservatives control the LA Times, WSJ & Washington Post Owners of Twitter & Meta are aligned with the administration, as is the incoming ownership of TikTok buttondown.com/natebowling/...

But on a brighter note, we got to sing "it's all gone quiet over there" to the large group of ~8 year old children who were chanting "fuck Seattle" after they made it 1-1. That seemed like the most NY thing I've ever experienced, tbh.

One thing I didn't need today was to see Pedro's knee zoomed in on Citi Field's massive 17,400 sq ft video board. I don't know what they showed on the broadcast, but I sincerely hope it wasn't that. It was... Not good. Not good at all.

Had a terrible dream. A new pizza spot opened near us, we went and liked it so much that we took @tlipah.bsky.social and @esutton509.bsky.social to try it asap. They hated it: "Worst pizza ever, why would anyone eat this?" That's nightmare fuel, how can I sleep tonight? Do I have bad taste in 'za?!?

Lu having played more games than more than half the teams in the NWSL is an insane and incredible stat #reignfc

These Norwegian fans rose to the moment.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I'm so proud of this group, how we started, how we've grown, what we've become, the traditions we uphold. It's been a great 20 years, and hoping for 20 more!

Tapping the crest as a form of shit talk is another thing the Sounders Invented.

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

"Whoever forbids Antifa, wants fascism! Make Antifa Great Again!" - Bayern Munich fans on Friday, right behind the goal, so guaranteed to be in the broadcast worldwide.

Thanks to a Supreme Court ruling this month, the majority of Yakima Valley residents are now in the crosshairs of ICE. A Yakima Herald-Republic editorial.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The way I view this is, we know inherently that the law will not save us but that doesn't mean you still can't use it to slow them down. Make them work for it. Do not give them power they do not have. Make them fight for every inch of power.
