Of the 15 transgender athletes competing in high school sports, only two are transgender girls according to an article by the Associated Press. www.newsweek.com/how-many-tra...

Amida Care member R.A. Melendez outlines the importance of Medicaid in @nytimes.com As a transgender woman, I know firsthand how difficult it is to access gender-affirming care. When I couldn’t obtain coverage, Medicaid became my lifeline. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/o...

Hard to imagine how today could have gone any worse #NUFC

Wheels are coming off. Gordon, likely Hall and possibly Isak missing a cup final. When it rains it pours #NUFC

Lewis Hall seeing a specialist for an ankle injury…not exactly the news you want to hear 2 weeks before a cup final #NUFC

When Vance said Zelenskyy hasn’t thanked America, what he really meant was Zelenskyy hasn’t thanked Trump.

I have finally arrived as a Fort Greene somebody

I'd rotate a bit tonight. Give Barnes, Longstaff, Krafth a game. Liverpool away is a free hit. Keep things fresh for Brighton in the Cup #NUFC

Othmann-Brodzinski-Rempe is the greatest line ever assembled in the history of ice hockey #NYR

Defending the changes, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said: "I don't think it makes sense for a Manchester United ticket to cost less than a ticket to see Fulham." Not the point at all, but Fulham are 9 points and 5 places ahead of Man U www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

"There is grief and sadness, there is also a deep concern and deep heartbreak and deep rage" - Kei Williams at a vigil for Sam Nordquist, a trans man murdered in upstate NY. Watch coverage at ABC7NY:

For the the first time, the NYS Department of Education has withheld money from private Hasidic schools for not teaching sufficient secular studies. @yaffedorg.bsky.social's Adina Mermelstein Konikoff weighs in, in @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

Finally, a piece about Isak that doesn’t breathlessly link him with a move away from Newcastle. Well done. Sky should take note. #NUFC

It's a bit harsh to judge players coming back from injury who have been out of the team, but today highlighted why we absolutely need to sign a goalkeeper this summer. Pope's positioning was awful on the first goal, and if he makes a simple catch Forest don't get the third. #NUFC

The less said about that second half the better. Forest are third for a reason. Huge 3 points. #NUFC

We need some changes here. #NUFC

So many great performances in that half of football, but a special nod to Joe Willock. We've seen how good a player he can be, but he's been hurt most of the last two years and it's hard to find your form when you're not playing. Credit to Eddie for sticking with him today. #NUFC

Fire this team into the sun. #NYR

The Rangers have played 12 minutes of hockey since 4 Nations ended and I’m already over it #NYR

That’s the title race done, and probably the relegation battle too. I can’t remember a premier league season with so little drama

Trump jinxed it

This Kurt Russell shit is weird

Guentzel/McDavid #BucciOvertimeChallenge

Callum Wilson coming in and getting hurt would be the icing on this shitty cake #NUFC

I was really hopeful for Willock this year, but he’s been injured for most of the last 2 seasons and he looks well off it. Needs a move down the table to find his game #NUFC

We’ve given these way too much respect. No intensity, completely unable to keep the ball. This is the performance you’d expect out of a Steve Bruce-coached team #NUFC

This has been a shambolic performance. #NUFC

As confident as I’ll ever be going to the Etihad. If we’re going to get a result, our midfield will be the difference #NUFC

We are calling out Washington’s political intimidation. Watch Board Chair John Avlon respond to the Trump admin’s unilateral seizure of NYC funds: ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/the-rush-hour/2025/02/13/watchdog-group-responds-to-federal-authorities-withdrawing-migrant-funding

If the D train moves any slower I’ve got no chance of making my reservation for tomorrow night

What a great game. This is going to be so much fun.

This is incredible entertainment #4nations

Yo can we get MacKinnon, McDavid, Makar at 3 on 3?

That’s Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and one of Villa/Spurs out of the cup. Another real opportunity for #NUFC to win silverware.

The magic of the FA Cup

As NYS lawmakers weigh amendments to the special election calendar, CU & @reinventalbany.bsky.social sent a letter to @govkathyhochul.bsky.social, Speaker Carl Heastie, & Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins offering recommendations for real reform citizensunion.org/wp-content/u...

Streets are saying Mika Zibanejad is back

Yeah, why would Isak move to Arsenal again? #NUFC

It's a great finish from Murphy, but that touch from Isak to control the through ball was world class. What a player. #NUFC

VAR is horrible
