Chester would like me to stop decorating and pay attention to him!

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start. “Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.” Nope. We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours. You work for us.

Can't believe they did all that for a promise to think about thinking about a vote

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

mfs caved to get an iou for a vote, i hate them

doing this immediately after hundreds of thousands of voters nationwide showed you they want passion and a rebuke of republicans’ current leadership and platform is truly wild behavior, charmin spine soft, lactose intolerant baby shit soft, 500 thread count soft

i don’t have another monday in me

Did we just catch the Turner Arnold hard launch on a hot mic 👀

and by the way, as a lifelong women’s soccer fan, I DO want trans people in my world and in my sport and I AM committed to building a more inclusive world and sport, free from transphobic, racist bigotry

At her presser today, I asked Laura Harvey for her thoughts on the discourse about trans athletes and the #NWSL, and the divisive rhetoric targeting some players for their appearance. Here is her answer (with transcript of her remarks in alt text):

NWSL players have been swept up into a storm of transphobia and racism. What will the league do about it?

ok but i’m reasonable and can also call her a goofy ass racist transphobe who had an unremarkable career so chose to be remembered as a bigot

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

I have so much respect for the @nwslplayers.bsky.social but to me this misses the point. The issue isn't that the attacks on specific NWSL players are factually incorrect (they are); it's that the hysteria and bigotry around trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming athletes hurts all women

Barbara Banda is an amazing player, but she would deserve every bit of support and more even if she was last on the depth chart. Basic human dignity is not earned.

Also, none of those statements names transphobia or racism, which is the specific type of harassment we're talking about. Neither did Angel City's. And no other group in power has named it. SGs have, which tracks for this league. I'm just frustrated. We had years to get ahead of this.

the call is coming from inside the house @nwslsoccer.com — put a policy in place to protect your players so your words have actual meaning

Before anything bad happens tomorrow (and it likely will if someone is going on THAT network), Protect Black Women. Protect Black Girls. Support Black Women. Support Black Girls. Donate to the BWPC. Support Black media. Protect OUR sport against abusers, predators, bad actors and opportunists.

and this is also why i’m angry at every other nwsl team fo/players/captains. everybody’s all for queer and trans folk when it’s pride month or visibility day but when shit hits the fan and solidarity matters, not a peep. now look at what the league is going to fall victim to

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff! If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Happy Halloween from Chester!

Sarah Gorden wants teammates and fans to know exactly where the Angel City locker room stands.

was messaging with Rachael about this and took a swing at putting this statement by Sarah Gorden and Angelina into text form for the wider public

for those not on x, here is Sarah Gordon and Angelina Anderson’s statement, they do speak for the team, and the team says trans folks belong

What the sign says 🗣️🏳️‍⚧️

When we are marketing toward a b*rstool type crowd, this is what we are going to get. Berman can say she wants to protect players but her actions this year show otherwise. It’s all about the $$$. #NWSL

Don’t even get me started on how our commissioner has brought in marketing that is attracting this kind of audience. It’s been festering and our woso community is doing our best to keep it out of our space but how long will that last? #NWSL

When are we going to understand that hate speech and discrimination isn’t an “opinion”. This behavior must be called out and condemned or it’ll continue to infest itself into our “safe” spaces. #NWSL

Angel City had two days to produce a thoughtful and supportive response. Instead their statement sounds like what you’d say if you’d been caught off guard and were scrambling. Come on.

Speaking as a dude who has a yearly family reunion, "aunt" and "uncle" fill a role, what the fuck are you supposed to call all those other older people you're vaguely related to, do you think there's someone running around with an org chart saying who's a second cousin thrice removed or something

Alyssa Naeher's USWNT retirement ceremony brought everyone in her life together 🫶🤩

Trying to buy season tickets for @bostonlegacyfc.com and the website is sabotaging me 😭

Hey Liz

Is there any sort of scientific testing to see if someone is really a professional soccer player when they’ve played no minutes in a season? #NWSL

every time a photo of barbra banda is used for some disingenuous gender fuckery it's in part because the league has signaled that it's unwilling to speak up for or protect her in any way

A friendly reminder that Elizabeth Eddy has played in a grand total of just 19 NWSL games across the past 4 seasons. Eddy is suffering from Riley Gaines Syndrome in this piece. This is nothing more than the bigoted rambling of a bitter player who just isn't good enough to start at a pro level...

a hail mary so when she gets cut she can pivot to a lucrative career of crying cancel culture and discrimination

This is disgusting and the cover photo being Banda is the nastiest of nasty work. Blatant racism. Not even trying to be subtle about it. Fuck you, Elizabeth Eddy.

Like actually fuck all the way off with this, the cover photo is abhorrent enough but it never ceases to amaze me how a player who just isn’t good enough, will always try and scapegoat the most marginalized communities. Get fucked Elizabeth Eddy.

Be so fucking for real. This is disgraceful and disgusting. Really hoping to see a response to this by Angel City and/or her teammates. And fuck all the way off for that photo of Banda. Nasty racist shit.

Federal agents tear gassing the Lake View neighborhood.

A family member in Portland Oregon died unexpectedly and left behind a 2 year old husky who is currently on a 5 day hold in a shelter while I try to figure out a way to get her to me here in Portland Maine so that I can adopt her...without it costing All the Money. Anyone have any ideas?

The attitude 😆

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Sam takes a moment to reflect and show her support for the LGBTQIA+ community, as the Pride Center of Vermont has closed due to a lack of funding. Everyone deserves to feel loved and supported for who they are 🏳️‍🌈 💖🏳️‍⚧️
