I say this as someone who loves the WC more than any other sporting event: every team should get on a plane home right now. Or all the games should be rescheduled for 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽. The USMNT should be disqualified now & suspended from the next WC. Or, we can start acting like a serious country of adults.
And what’s being passed over is the fact he had strong support from both wings of the party precisely because he represented a turn away from their idea of an overly feminine party weak wokeness and a masculine vision of working class whiteness.
This mode of white male identity politics often gets conflated with class politics. It happens because signifiers of working-class identity are inherently ambiguous, and underspecified populist discursive categories like "the people" and the "establishment" strategically enable this conflation.
are you just going to do this for every generation
Imagine, you're parents put you through journalism school for this...
This is an absolutely terrifying escalation by the regime. They have now criminalized our freedom to fight the crimes they commit against us and our neighbors. These protesters acted with extraordinary courage and moral clarity.

Louisiana House Republicans have passed a new 5-1 congressional gerrymander targeting 1 of 2 Black Dems.

GOP senators already passed a similar map www.nola.com/news/politic...
A newsletter on U.S. politics and history - and the ongoing struggle over how much democracy, and for whom, there should be in America
I don’t remember any World Cup where shitty stuff like this happened, & I can remember every World Cup since 1978.
This referee is one of the best referees in the African Football Confederation (AFCON), & FIFA is standing there useless.
Graham Platner’s rocket to stardom reflects something ugly that’s developed, not only on the right, but the left: The only acceptable form of “identity politics” now is white male identity politics.

I see every leftist on Bluesky claim Platner is an "establishment Dem" and every liberal is pointing out that he was endorsed early by Bernie Sanders and it's not great for Platner that everyone's trying to foist responsibility for him onto their enemies.

This is bad.
Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years.

Award-winning referee Omar Artan was 'determined to be inadmissible due to vetting concerns' after arriving in Miami.
A lot of people have convinced themselves pushing this guy over the top will represent a victory of sorts for their political faction but the longer this goes on the more closely associated you’ll be with the guy and …is that what you want?
