In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

time and time again, MAGA Republicans are more excited to target and root against American athletes who have spoken out against them (or, in this case, merely expressed ambivalence) than they actually are to celebrate winning American athletes
What Hess actually said:

“Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US.”

We're reaching a generation where NWSL front offices forgot about FURT and now we have EMPOW in 2026
When you see it, you can be it. When you believe in her, you empower her.

We’re proud to announce, with Portland Fire, under the RAJ Sports, the launch of EmpowHER.

God, for the millionth fucking time. We had it right before.

School/rec: Play with who you want
NCAA: Need doctor's note
Pro/Olympic: Blood testing for T levels

It worked. It was fair.

Whoever figures out how to sterilize milk will be so famous they’ll probably name the process after them.
This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact."

zakiya bywaters publicly exposed rory dames’ abuse of players in 2016, six years before the yates report. six. years. think of how much suffering players could’ve been spared if the league had simply listened to and believed her.
Honoring the legacy that shaped the league.

Five of the NWSL’s 12 No. 1 overall draft picks were Black — starting with Zakiya Bywaters, the league’s first-ever No. 1 pick in 2013.

once upon a time I would look at NFL coaches' Wikipedia pages and be like "oh wow, that old guy used to play football? Wild, I can't picture him as a younger person"

and now I look at new NFL coaching hires and think "oh yeah, the QB from Oregon State, I guess he's a coach now"
The Eagles are hiring Packers QBs coach Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator, per source.

Being criticized for supporting the injection of additional funds into player compensation, after having played with a full-time job and housed teammates on welfare ten years ago in this very league, might perhaps be the nicest thing that’s happened to me so far this year.
