It's heartbreaking that our community is once again forced to comfort each other after needless tragedy at the hands of overreaching authoritarians.

We join our neighbors in their grief, their anger, and the unequivocal assertion that ICE does not belong here.

A Reminder: The People's Republic of the Black Hart of Saint Paul remains a semi-autonomous state and can only be occupied by the coolest and queerest people. No Fash.

Really looking forward to when this soccer account can actually go back to talking about soccer.

I will not stop posting about the paramilitary occupation of our community.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.

Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.

Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

I've seen some confusion over Justin Haak accepting a 1-year FA deal from the Galaxy instead of taking a longer, guaranteed deal from NYCFC. And unfortunately you kind of need to be an MLS CBA sicko to understand all the math at play here.

Gonna try to break it down for you 1/x

Great move by KEA. Callender should give us some solidity. Hope to see more signings soon!

🇺🇸 BREAKING: Minnesota United is nearing a deal to acquire goalkeeper Drake Callender from Charlotte FC, per sources.

Callender, 28, won trophies with Inter Miami before being traded to Charlotte. Obviously a starting GK in this league... heads to Minnesota to be new starter.

Confirmed: #MNUFC working toward acquiring new No. 1 goalie, Drake Callender, in deal with Charlotte FC, source told @pioneerpress.bsky.social. @tombogert.bsky.social first.

Context: #Loons were looking for Dayne St. Clair replacement in pool of #MLS vets, coincidentally get former Miami keeper

Watching the Celtic match.

Not great striker play, huh?

I am beyond speechless right now.
Updated news story: Dayne St. Clair turned down an $1 million offer from #MNUFC -- which would have put him in the top five highest-paid goalkeepers in #MLS -- for a smaller deal to play with Inter Miami and Leo Messi.
