@jaycaspiankang Ideally we would have a squad where he could spend a couple seasons as an impact attacking sub when the system has to get a little more attacking/more width but I doubt that’s on the cards - I’m fine w him staying cuz he’s extremely talented and cupboard pretty bare
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin ended up being so close that Harris might well have won the election if she had leaned into Walz-style populism instead of Cheney-style conservatism.
Rashida won in a state Kamala lost, in districts that flipped from Biden to Trump. These people didn’t suddenly turn right wing, they were actively lost by the Democrats who chose to ignore and patronize them.
Idk what's happening but if Harris loses its because once again democrats intentionally demobilized their base in favor of flattering corporate and genocidal power brokers.
Something deeply sick about a small group of people being able to so confidently decide that someone should be sentenced to die; and anyone with such confidence ought to be as far away as possible from that decision at all
In 2 hours the state of Missouri will execute Marcellus Williams even though the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney filed a motion to vacate Mr. Williams’ conviction. Praying for a miracle that will prevent this irreversible injustice.
Yo. Sorry for long message but just wanted to provide a personal update and this may be the only one I ever do. I debated doing this, but I don’t really have much of a choice. I have kidney failure. We’ve determined it’s permanent and won’t get better. My GFR (kidney function) hovers around 13-15. That’s stage 5. I feel ok. Some days I’m exhausted, some days I feel pretty normal. We have done numerous tests, blood work, scans, a failed biopsy, and doctors appointments every other week to try and figure out the cause. We have had no luck. It’s very rare to have this happen at 30. Being in a state of limbo and not knowing where you stand is tough. But I also consider myself pretty tough and coming on here and interacting with you guys daily has been a gift that I am so thankful for. From the Friar fans, to the very nasty UConn fans that make fun of me, to everyone in between. It makes me feel normal and helps me forget the biggest struggle I’ve had to endure in my lifetime. I say “we” a lot because I genuinely feel profoundly lucky to have the support system that I have. Today, I had a meeting with a different nephrologist to start to look at potential options for a kidney transplant. The wait list is 5-6 years for a deceased donor. That is a long time. Years come off your life from dialysis treatment and just having kidney failure in general. A living donor would increase my chances of survival and quality of life ten fold. I am not asking for money. I’m not asking for pity. Plain and simple: I need a kidney. I’m simply asking for the word to be spread around in hopes a donor will step up. I know. It’s a big ask. This is such a powerful community and I believe anything is possible. Nothing will happen soon. I have to have another dozen or so tests at RI hospital to make sure I’m eligible. This is going to be a battle. But anything helps. A like, a retweet, whatever. I intend to hang around long enough to see the Providence College Friars win a national championship.
Thank you for reading. I love you all, even the trolls!
It's just dawn here, 5:50 am:
Buildings are being leveled up. Merciless bombardment. Intense warplanes hovering.
Over the past 15 minutes, we have heard more than 10 bombings.
It's nonstop and terrifying.
