Struggling a bit with whether or not to be on social media anymore. I've cut everything out except for Bluesky and been happy with those choices.
Now I'm thinking about ditching this as well. I really enjoy chatting during USL game days with y'all. So I'd love to find some way to keep doing that

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.
He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

Wow. A massive character for a fleeting time here in lower division soccer and the SoccerWarz at large. Not involved in the new Cosmos other than in the background and perhaps this was part of the reason why (I didn’t know he was sick.)

Being a billionaire fundamentally alienates you from the human condition. Every single relationship you have comes with the implicit fact that it is affected by your wealth and money. You can never have a true friendship because most people around you rely on you for a paycheck.

The reports from people who’ve worked for billionaires make clear how utterly warped their way of interacting with reality and other people is by practically unlimited funds. Taxing billionaires is a mental health program. I think about the yogurt story a lot: www.askamanager.org/2023/06/inte...
interview with a household manager for rich people

hmmm... I'd love to know more details about his 2025 contract with Westchester. Did he have an option year? I would assume not?

This firsthand account is chilling. ICE agents feel empowered, to hunt for HUMANS that allow them to collect significant financial incentives, & performance bonuses.They are desensitized to the trauma & personal circumstances of the real people they are capturing.

Very cool 😍
To geek out a bit, the trophy is named for Elmer A. Schroeder - former USFA & ASL president and founder of the Philadelphia German-Americans which dominated the ASL in the 1930s. The cup was given to the ASL league champs from ca. 1940 until the Ukrainian Nationals "retired" it.

On display at the coaches’ convention:
The Schroeder Cup trophy won six times by Philadelphia’s Ukrainian Nationals in the American Soccer League from 1960-70.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
