James Broadnax was just executed by the people of Texas even though another man confessed to the killings and DNA evidence makes it clear he was not the shooter. The crime was heinous. This execution was too. Blind vengeance is not justice. James, and Texans, deserve better.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling further weakens a law born out of sacrifice, struggle, and the determination of people who risked everything for the right to vote. Voting rights remain essential to justice, representation, and the dignity of citizenship. This decision certainly weakens key protections and sets up a path that could make fair representation even more difficult. This is a critical election year, and it is also a critical moment to call for new voting rights legislation. Through Kingian Nonviolence, we can organize, strategize, and coordinate our efforts to combat voter suppression and create a pathway to restore and protect representation. Register. Verify your status. Make a plan to vote. Help others do the same. If we are serious about creating the Beloved Community, we must be serious about protecting and using the right to vote. #MLK #RestoreTheVRA #BelovedCommunity

@FrancoPanizo Only 8 #MLS Teams have an open locker room post-game: Atlanta United, Charlotte FC, Columbus Crew, FC Dallas, Sporting Kansas City, Minnesota United FC, New England Revolution, & Seattle Sounders FC

One thing I cut from my story on Inter Miami’s media access: #InterMiamiCF’s ignoring MLS rules by not opening locker room post-game has become — as one source said — “contagious” in MLS. Some teams feel if Inter Miami doesn’t have to follow rules, neither do they. #Messi

Bu manyakla ilgili bir tevatür var. Faal futbol oynadığı dönemde bir yardım gecesine katılıyor. 9 yaşındaki çocuklar buna penaltı atacaklar ve Kahn'ın yediği her gol başına da bir miktar para bağışlanacak. Bu manyak, 9 yaşındaki çocukların kullandığı penaltıların hepsini kurtarıyor. Tek bir gol dahi yemiyor. Daha sonra kurtardığı penaltılara karşılık belirlenen miktarın iki mislini yardım kuruluşuna kendi bağışlıyor. Finali de çocuklara öğüt vererek yapıyor: "Hayat size yardıma muhtaç da olsanız kıyak geçmez, emek vererek kazanacaksınız."

Suspending a primary election days before early voting starts just so you can redraw the maps to disenfranchise Black and brown voters is a perfect example of the lengths Republican politicians will go to rig our democracy in their favor.

No idea who turned Bloodsport into a Mentos advert, but I love it. 🤣😂 Also, Bloodsport turns 38 today.

Vancouver Whitecaps are not considering "moving" elsewhere. MLS is considering shutting down its Vancouver office, and potentially opening another office in another city. The words and framing you use, or accept, shapes your mental model of the world. It is essential you be as accurate as possible, or you'll live and make downstream decisions based on a false model of reality.

Adri's father has driven to Texas to watch his son play, and saw his first goal in Miami. “I was crying in the stands, ‘That’s my boy,’” he said. nytimes.com/2026/04/29/nyr… Here's that moment:

- Comey indicted for tweeting a number. - Trump FCC threatens ABC's broadcast license. - Trump defacing more govt institutions with his name and picture. - Trump's kids cashing in on huge govt contracts. I'm always torn on whether to speak up on the daily drumbeat of Trump's creepy, corrupt, Putin-style authoritarianism. On the one hand, this has become so standard under Trump, and everyone's opinions on him have long hardened, so why bother? Just keep your head down, post on economic policy (what happened to Econ Twitter?), and don't be distracted by the daily news cycle outrages. That's the standard position in DC policy circles. On the other hand, isn't this defeatist passivity how authoritarianism thrives? Government actions that would have induced a nationwide backlash 15 years ago are now just the day's background noise. So the bar moves. It’s a familiar path: Most authoritarian nations moved there gradually yet persistently - the govt commits some outrages, waits for the public to get used to it and stop complaining, and then pushes for the next round. Authoritarian governments count on the population having a short attention span while they steadily boil the frog. But when you think about how far Trump has pushed just in the last 15 months, it’s fair to wonder where we'll be after the next 33 months of his term. So I’ve been torn - speaking up a lot during the ICE protests, then just focusing on econ for many weeks. I don’t want to bore people who’ve all made up their minds on what is happening in this country - and I've been trying to spend less time on this toxic hellsite for my own mental health. But I also think us trying to be all cool and above-the-fray is exactly what gives the administration the green light to once again push harder towards corrupt, statist, personality-cult Putinism. I don’t really have an answer here. Although this being Twitter, I’m sure that any possible approach (whether passive, hair-on-fire, or in-between) will inevitably get me yelled at here.

New research from North Carolina finds body-worn cameras reduced black incarceration rates by 10.5%. When prosecutors see what actually happened instead of relying solely on police reports, racial disparities in convictions and sentencing shrink, explains Cato’s @jeffreyamiron. ow.ly/GO3y50YR4Z1

STATEMENT FROM VANCOUVER MAYOR KEN SIM: The Whitecaps have been Vancouver’s club since 1974. Many things have changed throughout the years: the players, the logos, the kits, and the stadiums, just to name a few. The one thing that has never changed is Vancouver’s love of this team. The Whitecaps are one of the top teams in the MLS, they were the runners up in last year’s championship, and they sit in the top ten of league attendance at an average of 24,000+ per game. While we understand that professional sports is a complex business, it would be a mistake for any team to leave a market with such a longstanding history and ready-made fanbase. The City of Vancouver has done its part to create a path forward for the team’s future here by offering prime space at Hastings Park for the Whitecaps to construct a new stadium and entertainment district. Now, we face the difficult part. BC Place is owned and operated by the Provincial Government. In fact, it’s the only stadium owned and operated by a government found anywhere in the MLS. In order for the team to stay in Vancouver, the Whitecaps and Province must sign a bridge deal that will allow BC Place to become viable in the near term while a new stadium can be designed and built. That's why today, we are calling on the team’s ownership to publicly and clearly articulate what they need to stay here in Vancouver, and we are calling on the Provincial Government to come to the table and make that a reality. To all Vancouver Whitecaps fans, to the @Southsiders, and to all of the supporter groups, we need you to keep the fight going. We need you to stay strong, and we need you to stay loud. Losing the Whitecaps is not an option. #SAVETHECAPS

The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank. It just published a 30-year study showing immigrants paid 14.5 trillion dollars more in taxes than they received in government benefits. Every single year. For thirty years. Without exception. The country was lied to. Here is what the study found.🧵

Thomas Massie just sounded the alarm: Congress is on the verge of handing Monsanto total immunity to mass poison Americans with glyphosate. This is existential for MAHA. “If farmers contract a form of cancer … from this chemical, if this makes it into the Farm Bill, you won’t be able to sue.” Instead of pushing to repeal Big Pharma’s vaccine liability shield, Trump and his cronies are trying to expand immunity for even more poison. It’s a complete betrayal of MAHA. And it would cause vastly more harm than all of the benefits that MAHA has done combined. @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY

@yung_pete459 @JorgeIturralde @AustinFC @MLS @ClubDeportes It's easy for Rodo to make himself look good by trashing Reyna's contracts, but we've not seen them. You just accept his word? No one was trying to fire Reyna after reaching the semifinals The players he got brought us more success than the current ones Rodo's a garbage SD...

@JorgeIturralde @AustinFC @MLS @ClubDeportes El tema no es que no haya otra comparativa es que lo usas como punto de referencia sobre que es lo que si deberíamos hacer y es claro que lo que hizo Reyna fue pauperrimo. Pésima elección de jugadores tal y como lo hizo Reyna.

Vancouver Whitecaps, one of the most historic names in North American soccer, currently one of the best teams in MLS, and Canadian Championship winners for the past four years, are at risk of relocation. Fans launched a #SaveTheCaps campaign at their game against Colorado Rapids.
