I’m wondering if anybody saw this. Vote has been passed to repurpose an old mall site for a new stadium to bring MLS to Mesa, AZ (suburb of Phoenix). Note that Phoenix Rising who is in the USL is not apart of these plans. #MLS #USL

Average American Thanksgiving: President declares total ban on immigration, calls an esteemed democratic governor a slur, and then goes on TV to talk about Somalis like animals when asked about a mass shooting by a former child soldier and member of a CIA associated death squad.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

I will volunteer my time as a (former) podcast bro to do the production/editing grunt work if any women and/or LGBTQ folks want to launch a soccer podcast.

Although mostly grassroots, there's incredible working being done by USL content creators all over. This is a call to make a concerted effort daily to watch vids, read articles, like and repost social media. Help these creators feel seen and appreciated! So many are doing the Lord's work!

As full SNAP benefits resume, MDHS is warning of an increasing potential for fraud and theft of SNAP benefits.
MDHS can no longer remedy stolen SNAP benefits after Congress allowed a program to expire that replaced benefits stolen by card skimming, card cloning and other forms of fraud.

Historian Rutger Bregman is a well-respected proponent of a universal basic income. The Guardian has called him “the Dutch wunderkind of new ideas.”
The BBC invited Bregman to give this year’s Reith Lecture series.
Before airing, the BBC removed one sentence from his lecture, “A Time of Monsters.”

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Scotty Matches earlier intimated that he dismissed his lawsuits against Stover, Mediacom, Roth & USPTO. But, for the latter three, the court dismissed those actions because he (and his companies) failed to respond to show cause why they should not be dismissed pursuant to 28 USC 1915(e)(2)(A).
