Been called “The First Fan of #NewYorkCityFC” (chronologically speaking) I started organizing the Third Rail on Day One (5/21/2013), served as its 1st president (2014-15), & am still Member No. 0001. Proud to have coined the nickname “Pigeons” #DaleNewYork

Celebrating #MLS opening day by flying the #NewYorkCityFC flag in North London.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

If you will sell out your diversity office because of an illegitimate threat from a wannabe dictator then you are going to cave on everything. Everything. And I can’t forgive any of that. And I will remember when you speak of threats to academic freedom what you did today.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

I watched the 1st episode of Onside… very good 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Give me more for 2025

Judge orders nationwide preliminary injunction of anti-DEI executive orders. "Plaintiffs’ irreparable harms include widespread chilling of unquestionably protected speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Thread about the long tail for fraud and why football clubs need to take due diligence more seriously. Sometime in January, the website of TitanCapitalMarkets.com vanished... 1/

Bridge Brigade is deeply disappointed in Bay FC’s decision to hire Graeme Abel; bringing someone with a documented history of abuse into a key position of influence within the organization.

Wisconsin GOP Rep Glenn Grothman faced a hostile townhall today too in Oshkosh. It’s spreading and turning into a pattern

Nico Cavallo, the 88th of 90 players picked in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft, earned a spot with the NYCFC First Team as he, like Max Murray shortly before him, was just announced as a new NYCFC signing. Could he end up starting at LB on Matchday 1 if Kevin O'Toole isn't ready in Miami?

The single most pretentious thing I own: a $2 pen nib with a bust of Shakespeare stamped onto it

We shorten Aston Villa to Villa so *shrugs* but the bit about "in a world of Uniteds and Citys there's only one Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur" is funny because there is also only one Tottenham. And another famous sports team with a 'Spurs' nickname.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

This is how it’s done.

How should modern Pittsburghers view Andrew Carnegie and his legacy? I've noticed an increased struggle with this question lately. With thousands of pages of research, I hope I can offer some historical balance about why we shouldn't erase him. www.pittsburghmagazine.com/andrew-carne...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Okay, awesome to see the @totalsoccershow.bsky.social selected as Apple's featured show for MLS Season Pass ahead of the 2025 season. We put a ton of work into our previews this year and will have MLS coverage in the feed every week! 🎧🎧🎧

Wow it’s almost like appeasing fascists doesn’t work, Target.

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

Ready for our afternoon at Ashburton Grove. #ThirdRailSC

I don't understand crypto at all, but every fibre of my being screams con whenever I think about it.

#MLS showing out big in Times Squre today.

Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

Good morning, it's #matchday and it's my favourite mug! Coffee is of course black no sugar.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

An expected trio of Legs are Out for New York City FC vs. Miami while Javier Mascherano lists 3 players Questionable + also hinted at other possible rotation following their arctic midweek match in Kansas www.mlssoccer.com/news/mls-pla...

Rapids are accruing a lot of karma for releasing a breakdown like this. www.coloradorapids.com/news/colorad...

Find it remarkable that Everton were allowed to build a new stadium with so little improvement to local infrastructure Especially in a relatively deprived area. The Section 106 is weak & should have put more responsibility on the club to fund improved public transport for the good of the city

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

all of central Brooklyn is playing a game of Egg The Cybertruck with this one guy who keeps street parking in the hood
