Soccer for lunch. CA River Plate & Urawa Red Diamonds fans are in full voice.

Here in Washington state, 3,866,398 acres are on the line. This includes some of the most carbon-dense forest in the world, with immeasurable value for climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, and human health and well-being.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I know its natural, I know it's a part of life, but im not ready for the adults I grew up around to be passing away. Take advantage of every moment you have friends. Life is precious

Odds we join this war just went up. 😕

Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ. VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says. Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.

Also, the way that every event, no matter how shocking or horrible or unprecedented, gets fed into the far-right social media hallucination machine, and twisted beyond recognition until it supports the far-right's own nonsensical worldview, is the very core of why we are where we are as a society.

"When the president lashes out that immigration is somehow responsible for transgenderism, it indicates to me both that they’re out of ideas and that we might have just found the plot for the 'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar' sequel." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/the-whoopi...

Beautiful Sounders Tifo.

Somehow taken in alive. 🤔

Well, I think the Sounders put up a decent fight. Obviously not enough, but they had plenty of opportunities to grab a second goal. They fall 2-1. Final stats via @fotmob.com

NEW: The suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker shootings has been caught, per KSTP / ABC News.

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.

Great job Luna. Excellent reading the defender to make the run and intercept the back pass. USMNT get the cushion. 2-0 42’

Atlético Madrid will be missing one player when playing the Sounders next? I’ll take it.

Russian propaganda is many things. Usually stupid, vain, outlandish, extreme and untouched by reality. But occasionally, when making fun of their enemies, they have accurate interpretations.

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

Okay, people are genuinely confused why members of the US army can't actually march in unison like the Russians or the North Koreans. 1/3

Home. Tired, bit sun burnt and totally worth it. Few more pictures from Seattle #NoKings protest and march.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

“At the largest rally in Seattle, over 70,000 people flooded the streets shoulder-to-shoulder, marching en masse from Capitol Hill to Seattle Center — making it one of the largest protests in the city’s history. “ SEATTLE SHOWS UP FOR DEMOCRACY! @seattletimes #NoKings #Seattle

😂😂😂

Today, Seattle said “No Kings” and brought out an estimated 70,000. Our population is 750,000…

Very low energy. Sad!😂

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are real quiet when a Dem Gov’s mansion is burned and two MN lawmakers are targeted for assassination. It’s almost as if they only care about one side being targeted for violence….

remembering headlines from last year

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.
