There never was a folk hero in local sports like Naz Reid and there never will be another. The organic groundswell was so pure and beautiful. Two Words. Honk If. Tattoos. Towels going global. No mass marketing campaign. Just local fans rallying an amazing guy and his story.
🏴⚽️🍻 The legions of Scottish soccer fans - better known as the Tartan Army - have become an absolute phenomenon since arriving in Boston and taking over the city during their national team’s World Cup games being played at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. On Tuesday, we heard a contingent of the Tartan Army had taken the ferry to Nantucket to conquer the island, and we tracked them down at - where else? - Cisco Brewers. Enjoy…

So, let me get this straight.
Trump is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and doesn't need help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims he already destroyed last year.
Just in case you are losing track of the shifting goal posts…
(1) The initial goal of the war was regime change. Trump said it in his announcement speech, and the name is, quite literally, “Roaring Lion,” a nod to the return of the Shah.
(2) When they realized they were failing at this goal they switched to say the war was to take out Iran’s enriched uranium which was not destroyed in the initial strikes. This too is not practically possible as America has no idea where it is.
(3) So now we are here, having to pretend to think that doing damage to Iran’s almost non-existent air force and navy, and its antiquated domestic missile system was the actual goal of this war.
It doesn’t make you a lib to be disgusted to see a man get murdered for practicing his first and second amendment rights. Blindly defending ICE because Trump and his administration tells you to makes you the opposite of a patriot and is as anti-American as it gets.
(warning graphic content) This video shows Alex Pretti was disarmed right in front of the Border Patrol agent who then shot him 10 times — again — after Pretti’s gun was removed from the back of his pants.
If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it.
Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley: "The last 2 weeks we as a law enforcement community have been receiving endless complaints about civil rights violations in our streets from US citizens. What we're hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on the street with no cause and being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they are here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off duty. Every one of these individuals is a person of color ... it has to stop"
You were never getting $2000 tariff rebate checks, the same way you were never getting $5000 DOGE refund checks.
But Trump doubled his family’s net worth.
Congratulations, you got conned.
I grew up conditioned to mock the loony libs, a habit formed in the early Rush Limbaugh years.
I no longer feel the urge.
Those libs are now fighting for America’s core principles, while the people who taught me to sneer at them have abandoned principles altogether.
It’s starting to sound like firing everyone possible, fucking over our trading partners, crushing small businesses with tariffs, and completely kneecapping tourism hasn’t had the positive impact on the economy we all thought it would
