This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

These extreme sentences are meant to imprison us all in a prison of fear, self censorship & silence. They are wrong. terrifying & un-American, but silence in the face of neighbors being abducted, the climate destroyed & our democratic rights dismantled would be far far worse. Do not obey in advance.

It sucks to lose at the death but US v Turkiye was maybe the best game of the tournament

That’s the goal of the tournament for me so far from Japan. Beautiful team goal, an incredible assist from Doan for Maeda.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

Leftists need to think twice about acting like the Tea Party did against incumbent Republicans! All it got them was complete control of the party, ironclad support within it for their views, and every branch of government.

Wild that VAR is back in use today to chalk off a soft foul on Vini Jr, but not intervene on either of the big unreviewed moments with England. Maybe right here but with this standard Pickford should have been off and Konsa concede a pen.

Hell yeah @bradlander.bsky.social

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

I, for one, did not miss SouthgateBall

Maybe it’s a traditionalist view but it’s nice to play a World Cup without VAR

England fans getting raked on US commentary for being so quiet yet no one acknowledges that they’re so silent because the Tartan Army drank all the beer in Boston

Great half for the England fans who missed Southgate

Thank goodness FIFA has invited advertisers in so players can have a hydration break when it’s 17C & heavily raining.

If your Sarr is Pape, Buddy, go run a lap. If Ismaila’s your Sarr, Brother, you're going far.

The ref officiating Cabo Verde like they're Arsenal smh

Visit Saint Lucia

Can’t wait to see what Scooby Doo villain is given the no bid contract to repair this mess at a wildly inflated cost

Great ESPN story from last week www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

Sport let's us see the end product of a life's work, dedication & sacrifice. We don't see behind the scenes, just the results. It's why the joys of victory can be so sweet & why The Players' Tribune pieces can be so powerful. But my goodness, Yan Diomande I am rooting for you.

@arsenalvisionpodcast.com I think if you’re gonna have VAR for coming an inch off the line, it should also be used to make sure the taker doesn’t stop in their stutter run up.

Very sad news

The World Cup without a group of death really is a lesser thing. It’s a shame bc I think this first round has been top top quality. There's just so little jeopardy in this group stage

I can't believe English pundits will tolerate the English squad ruining football with set piece goals like this.

I think you can’t have stutter steps on PKs and also have this goalie line rule measured by blades of grass and also have VAR. Pick two at most.

Literally as I looked up from reading this in Berlin I walked past a group of four white German boys wearing clothing brands associated with the far-right. This continent is raising a new Hitler Youth and the apathy from many quarters is sickening.

Golden boot race wild: Messi (3) Mbappe (2) Haaland (2) Havertz (2) Balogun (2) Just (2) Ayari (2)

LOL this is disturbingly spot on

Messi hat trick plus Haaland and Mbappe braces today, just like every 11 year old in the world drew it up

Golden boot race wild: Messi (3) Mbappe (2) Haaland (2) Havertz (2) Balogun (2) Just (2)

Alexi said "in my expert opinion" and what followed next wasn't directions up the Capitol steps

Golden boot race wild: Messi Mbappe Haaland Havertz Balogun Just

English language commentators praising Haaland is so boring

wow I really never thought someone would take France's all time goal record from *checks notes* Olivier Giroud

So much of football officiating seems to amount to “No one ever got fired for buying IBM”

One of my favorite Cabo Verde facts is that it has a genre of music that arose after an abandoned ship washed up in 1968, carrying hundreds of keyboards and synths

The Strait of Hormuz is open and all the ship captains are having a wonderful time!

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

What the fuck

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

Pray for this man
