After a surreal few days, I’m delighted that we have navigated a way through this. I want to thank you all for the incredible support, particularly my colleagues at BBC Sport, for the remarkable show of solidarity. Football is a team game but their backing was overwhelming. 1/4

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers taking your kids to the circus would be a felony in Florida.

The biggest piece of shit Speaker of the House, America has ever seen. He’s a double down, lying, treasonous, domestic terrorist! His tyranny will cost them elections and that excites me! Fuck you MAGAT McCarthy!
Rep. McGovern: "January 6 was an attack on our democracy, and now Tucker Carlson has chosen to side with the enemies of democracy. But what's most alarming about all this was that he was aided and abetted by Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy ... this is a new low."
They just passed a bill tonight in Georgia-that Gov. Kemp already indicated he would sign-for the purpose of removing “rogue” prosecutors, or, by their definition, Fani Willis. That just happened.
Accept this fact, right now: The GOP is willing to CHANGE LAWS to protect Trump. They all but just finished doing so.
This is how they will (and have been) approach everything between now and 2024. Whatever is in their way, they will seek to change the laws to clear a path forward to victory.
Now, the first thing I want you to do, is take a slow, deep breath…..and look at the space around you. The fact you are reading this tells me you will find no imminent threat or danger around you, wherever you are. You’re safe…right now. You are.
Once you’ve grounded yourself in the reality of your current safety…..allow yourself to calmly and cooly realize what a fight we’ve got on our hands, and the work we have before us.
2024 is it. I believe that with every fiber of my being. If we don’t hold the line, and win, the country-as we have long known it-is done, and will never again be the same.
You can be deeply concerned without allowing it to consume you. Because, if you allow it to consume you, you’ve become useless in the fight. Consumed people aren’t people who are focused, & taking clear headed action.
Get your emotions under control, slow down….breathe…and get yourself ready to participate.
If it’s a choice between a new mattress and being able to donate to a democrat….keep sleeping on what you have….and donate.
Make no doubt about it, getting this done is going to require sacrifices-bigger than most are used to making-to get it done. It will.
I don’t know about you, but for me….that’s not going to be a problem. I’m going to work my ass off. Day in, and day out.
