Registering my daughter for high school soccer tryouts and I get to this lovely little bit. Why would the UHSAA need this information? What does this have to do with her playing soccer?? What the hell?

I don't know what's worse, the Espionage Act violations or the decorating.

In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.

@lizzo You more then proved yourself as an artist. As a human you are wonderful and a role model. If you want to step away from being open with us because these assholes are fucking with your mental health do it.

@lizzo If you honestly think you will love that life then do it. No one is entitled to your energy. Your art and energy is magic.

The Chief Justice is refusing to appear before Congress and answer questions about his justices receiving money from special interests.

This statement rings hollow. A court that rejects accountability for itself erodes its own legitimacy to hold others accountable in turn.

“We’re only getting divorced because she’s legally allowed by the state to get one without my permission” is a weird fucking thing for a man to stress several times…

Marriage only works if both people want it. Requiring both to want the divorce sounds like a hostage situation.

Weed doesn’t make you run faster sooooooo why is she losing her title?

I woke up to find I'm now blue ticked again. I haven't paid for Twitter or given anyone my phone number. Mr Musk, if you're paying for people who don't want blue ticks to have them, @StephenKing's suggestion that you donate the money to charity is excellent. To Refugees, perhaps?

BREAKING: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for Supreme Court Justice to be impeached, and says that she is willing to draft and introduce articles of impeachment herself.

It was learned in a ProPublica report that Thomas was the recipient of lavish gifts for over 20 years that he failed to report.

"I just think that if no one's going to introduce it, I would certainly be open to doing so and drafting them myself." She added, "I think this has gone far, far beyond any sort of acceptable standard in any democracy, let alone an American democracy."

Drop a 💙if you agree that Clarence Thomas must be impeached.

Let me be very clear. We do not have a 'labor shortage' in this country.
What we have is a working class who are saying they aren't going to work longer hours for lower wages in unsafe conditions while corporations make record profits.

Hey Republicans - if you’re trying to tell me that banning dangerous assault rifles is “an infringement on your rights” but banning safe medication which has been FDA approved for more than TWENTY years is not…

It sure as hell ain’t about “protecting rights”.

So cut the shit.

My budget restores the full Child Tax Credit, which spurred the largest-ever one-year decrease in child poverty in American history.

No child should have to grow up in poverty.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

A federal district judge in Texas ruled that a prescription medication that has been available for more than 22 years, approved by the FDA, and used safely and effectively by millions of women should no longer be approved in the United States.

We will fight this ruling.

We will NOT let the TN state legislature play with democracy! The Nashville Metropolitan Council should reinstate Rep. Justin Jones back to the legislature! The people of Nashville deserve to have the representative they chose to be their voice — reinstate Rep. Jones!

Hell yes!!

The man on the left raised his fist in solidarity with peaceful protestors who came to condemn gun violence—GOP expelled him.

The man on the right raised his fist in solidarity with violent insurrectionists who came to overthrow democracy—GOP embraced him.

This IS who GOP is.
