Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Colorado Springs and New Mexico's players circle up at opening kickoff as a show of unity amidst the USL Championship's ongoing CBA talks.

Working people are peacefully rising up and making our voices heard today. With the power of our solidarity, we can stand up to the wealthiest bosses and the most powerful politicians. America’s unions will see you at a #NoKings event near you. www.mobilize.us?q=No%20Kings...

New Mexico United may have lost its season opener to Oakland, but @usltactics.com and Peyton Gallaher see plenty of bright spots in the Land of Enchantment, starting with Niall Reid-Stephen. From this week’s This League! 📺 tinyurl.com/yknvckab 🎙️ tinyurl.com/26bt574n ➡️ tinyurl.com/34hku8kn

🧵 1/3 Busy few days in my life and I’m behind on some key news! Arturo Astorga (#15 and #23) completed his remarkable comeback from the season-ending and career-jeopardizing injury he sustained in 2024 to sign a 25-day deal. www.newmexicoutd.com/news/2026/03...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT EZE

Hey you. Open Cup is today.

Fans at Orange County v Las Vegas

Watching Jacksonville-Hartford, and I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that they showed the kickoff and then immediately cut to crowd for 60 seconds while the PBP said the kickoff was delayed and they expected to start shortly 🙄🙄🙄 #StandUpForStandards

More cowardice from USL match broadcasters.

This is the USL during the player protest. Showing the crowd and saying the match is simply “delayed”. Pretending your problems aren’t there won’t make them go away. #StandUpForStandards

The Northern Guard Supporters stand in solidarity with the players of Detroit City FC and the USLPA. 🚩✊

With a CBA deal still pending, Lexington and Louisville begin the season with a minute-long moment of stillness.

The Ceiling Has Raised — But the Floor Is Still Too Low: A Former USL Player's Take on the CBA Battle & Player Rights ✍️ Brandon Miller, a 10-year veteran of the league. www.brandonmiller.site/post/address...

The USL Championship season is supposed to kick off today. But with no confirmed CBA, questions swirl around the USL — and not just around player treatment. Teams keep folding. USL HQ keeps cashing expansion checks. Read @usltactics.com on a business model breeding instability ⤵️

“We have been negotiating in good faith with the players.”

ICYMI: The USL emailed every Championship player an FAQ doc that included guidance on “crossing a picket line” and “Union membership resignation.” An active player said teammates couldn’t find it until they checked spam. “I just think it’s a bunch of bullshit.” Full report at @us.theguardian.com.

We’re 100% going to see a strike that the league had over a year to avoid by just negotiating in good faith. 😑

A five-hour bargaining session on Wednesday between the USL and USLPA - with a mediator present - resulted in some movement on key issues, but the two sides still seem far away from agreeing on a new CBA. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

The USL players deserve professional standards for their professional talent, and it’s time for the USL to deliver. The players are ready to strike and fight for what they deserve. USL: do the right thing and bargain for a fair contract now.

The @iscsupporters.bsky.social, @blackdiamondsnm.bsky.social and us express our support for the USLPA and call for a resolution that reflects the true value of the players. #StandUpForStandards

The Independent Supporters Council is in solidarity with the USLPA and the players as they pursue a fair agreement. Our full statement is in this thread. #StandUpForStandards

Every day the USLPA shares testimonials from players who have dealt with substandard facilities, housing and benefits while the league gleefully sells us on pro/rel and D1. There are still 20% of teams who DO NOT EVEN OFFER health insurance. It’s time for the USL to act like a grown up league.

The ramifications of the USL model are an important topic on their own, and they’re impossible to extricate from the strike authorization we saw from the USLPA today. I dig in here.

Your boss stealing $10B for the bored of peace and suing for $10B more might be a place to start, JD.

The USL is desperate to enact pro/rel to grow its fanbase, but the league office offers little support to its clubs once the expansion checks clear. No revenue sharing, and an average of two clubs folding each offseason for a decade. So cynical to drop this update 2-3 weeks before kickoff.

I just ordered my own kit. 🥹 I know it’s a small thing, but it feels good to feel good about something right now. If you’d like to grab one and raise a few bucks for the National MPS Society, here’s the link. oliveandyork.com/products/uni... Thanks for supporting me and this project. 💛🖤

My friend Jules Myers said it best today on Instagram: “And all of New Mexico cheered.” It feels really good to feel good about something.

Shameless self-promotion ⤵️ I’m writing a book and releasing a kit to celebrate said book! Pre-sale opens on Saturday, if you’re interested. Thank you for all the kind feedback I’ve already received. I’m very grateful and humbled.

Spring is for optimism. 🌵 ubtn.substack.com/p/hope-sprin...

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

1/3 🧵UNI NUMBER REVEAL THREAD!🧵 The first presser of the year is complete and all of the mysteries of the uni-(number)verse have been revealed!Amazingly, the club, as of now, does not have a keeper who will be wearing the #1 shirt! Here are uni number confirmations from the players themselves:

The president of the United States is so brain-dead that he doesn't remember which country he's threatening to destroy the world's greatest military alliance over.

Niall Reid-Stephen has chosen the #7, which has been on the back of Sergio Rivas since 2023. Sounds like more news is forthcoming…

This smarmy bitch really said “our hemisphere”

@newmexicoutd.bsky.social splashed some cash to bring in the First Team All League One star. The 24-year old had 16 goals and 10 assists in all comps last year. He seems to be a great candidate to compete for the Mukwelle Akale role and he arrives in New Mexico from Tormenta, same as Akake.
