Curt Cignetti celebrating winning a national championship

The way out is impeachment

“I have to do a better job. if I don’t do a better job this year, I’m likely out of here.” @richmondkickers.bsky.social's Darren Sawatzky is the longest-tenured Head Coach in #USL-1, but he knows he needs to get the side winning again this year. www.rivercity93.com/blog/no-excu...

lmao jesus christ

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.

The sort of people who support ICE and the Trump Administration are fine with this because she’s black, because she’s a woman, because she‘s Somali-American, and because THEY are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture.

It’s very odd that Forrest Gump was considered a good movie.

My friend posted an IG story of the long line of people at a Target each buying a cheap box of salt so they can immediately return it as a way to protest Target. And it’s like 60 middle aged middle class white ladies. Man, Target out here pulling a Skype

We’ll be hosting a magazine launch party on Feb. 20 at Project 9 Brewing Co. in Maple Leaf. Would love to meet some of you! www.sounderatheart.com/2026/01/join...

Congressional Democrats need to go all out against Trump. They have to look like a genuine and credible opposition party at home *and* abroad. Under Schumer and Jeffries, they aren’t it.

Notably Jonathon Ross’s name is public because she gave away his identity

The story is such bullshit that it even includes an official statement from FIFA pointing to trump being gifted the Nobel peace prize as evidence they were right.

Will putting his body on the line for his community showed up a bunch of people who think political action means doing mean posts. So they’re doing a lot of mean posts.

DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. www.404media.co/dhs-is-lying...

Pre-game meal across from my dad’s high school.

Boring as it is to say, I really don’t think there are any obvious villains (assuming this plays out how it appears to be going).

This ICE agent and the man he’s accusing of not being a US citizen have the same damn accent. If this were a movie, this scene would be on the cutting room floor.

Continues to amaze me the quality of coaches Defiance can attract. Nagamura has MLS head coaching experience, albeit just one season, but surely had some options. bsky.app/profile/elro...

We need to just openly acknowledge that ICE is an overtly racist organization that is looking to make life difficult for non-white people and anyone else who gets in their way.

The Authoritarian Republican Party hates the First Amendment.

Obergruppenführer Stephen Miller never dreamed that middle-aged white guys in Vikings jackets would be screaming "Nazi pieces of shit" at his goons as they chased them away.

The Portland Timbers & FC Cincinnati previously triggered German Berterame's release clause in 2024. Portland first. Berterame agreed personal terms but he decided to stay in Mexico. A few months later, Cincy did. Berterame agreed. Had plans for travel/medical set. But he decided to stay.

I doubt I’m the first person to observe this but it has dawned on me that what people like about generative AI is that it can do things with a push of a button that non-creative people simply could never do on their own. It’s bad at it, a lot of the times, but meme-warriors fucking love that slop.

I believe it was Oppenheimer who said: So what if a thermonuclear bomb can kill people? So can a kitchen knife? So can millions of knives already? This isn’t a new problem. It’s a new tool. …

In literally any other time this would be immediate grounds for impeachment. It’s beyond unthinkable to imagine even entertaining the idea of waging war with a NATO ally over a piece of land to which we ALREADY HAVE UNFETTERED ACCESS for the purposes of defense.

Stop asking these questions credulously. Ask questions like, "If Denmark moves to defend Greenland following a US attack would you consider nuking Copenhagen?" "Will you summarily execute the men of Greenland if they resist your invasion?" Let's see just how deep the crazy goes.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

TIL you can do sports gambling on robinhood. Not sure how I feel about that.

ICE seems to use a strategy where they operate in one area one day and then disappear from there the next. When present, they drive up and down streets and force a response and tire us out. It's likely a combination of not having enough agents and having so few no non-white people on the streets.

Sounders have traded two 2026 international roster spots to the New York Red Bulls in exchange for $350k in 2026 GAM and an additional $50k in 2027 GAM. www.newyorkredbulls.com/news/red-bul...

The most illustrative reply I’ve ever seen.

Supervillain style evil apparently polls bad www.axios.com/2026/01/16/t...

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.

Former Sounders high performance director Dave Tenney is going from Atlanta to RSL.

Are they actually trying to convince women not to have kids?!?

They went from 17% to a majority of stadium employees unionized in 3 years. www.nwpb.org/local/2026-0...

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch" ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents ICE, the biggest snowflakes of all

Some decent percentage of Americans will naturally view ICE’s behavior with revulsion. Another decent percentage can be persuaded eventually of ICE’s indecency. The remainder is irredeemable but hopefully can be curb-stomped electorally.

The We Rate Dogs guy--and I doubt this was the tipping factor for him but it really gave him some juice--saw ICE kill a dog in a video, posted about it, and is now explaining how to take care of yourself mentally while preparing for a revolution.

Seems as if this works — if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans — than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.

I cannot imagine running this unless it was intended to mock and vilify the writer.

Fascists are pathetic: defector.com/fascists-are...

The proposed law would force DHS only use the app, called Mobile Fortify, at ports of entry; delete all photos of U.S. citizens taken by the app; and effectively kill the local law enforcement of the app.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

MIB has talked down to their audience from day one and it sucks they've convinced a lot of Americans the only way to be an authentic soccer fan is to cosplay English fandom.

The operating principle of JD Vance's life in politics seems to be as follows: How can I serve every powerful person while appealing to literally no normal person? defector.com/jd-vance-is-...

For those curious about such things, Sebastian Gomez was born in Florida but moved to the Seattle area at a young age. He grew up in North East Seattle, playing soccer at Magnusson Park with Celtic. Said he’s been teammates with Stu Hawkins since both played for SDP team in late 2017!

I have no idea how many Sounders fans will travel, but everyone I’ve talked to in the Spokane scene seems to think there will be high demand there. I’ve also been told the stadium owners are looking at ways to expand beyond the standard 5,200 configuration.

It’s not a big stadium, but the possibility for a great gameday atmosphere is definitely there at ONE Spokane Stadium.
