There will be times when you want to stay down. Tired and exhausted of strength. The friends who come by and make you get up, give you their strength, and keep you moving. Those are the friends you make sure to keep for life. Proverbs 27:17 ⚒

The Pope told Trump to stop misusing God’s name. A MAGA supporter called the Pope the Antichrist. THE. POPE.

Impeach. Remove. Convict. NOW!!!

10 years ago today, ARROW killed off Laurel Lance / Black Canary. The decision was widely panned, leading a significant ratings decline. It has gone down in history as one of the worst storylines in DC TV history.

WTF?? Outrage erupts after ICE captures US soldier's new wife HOURS after wedding, despite the fact she was in the US since she was a toddler, and was following the legal process. A U.S. Army staff sergeant Matthew Blank and his wife Annie Ramos arrived at Fort Polk ready to start their life together. Within hours, it collapsed. ICE agents entered the base and detained Annie Ramos, an undocumented immigrant brought here as a toddler, despite her being married to an active-duty soldier and already in the process of applying for a green card. Sergeant Matthew Blank: Our plan was to drive over, bring her to the office to get her military ID and activate her military spouse benefits. Instead, she got ripped away from me. Ramos had a deportation order from 2005, issued when she was just 22 months old after her family missed a hearing. Immigration experts say cases like hers were not typically detained before Trump’s mass deportation push. Ramos, from detention: I grew up here like any American. This is all I know. My husband and family are here. ICE defended the arrest, saying she has no legal status and a final order of removal. This is what happens when an evil policy on paper turns into an even worse atrocity in real life. A soldier preparing for deployment, his family shattered, his focus destroyed. As Rev Miguel A Rivera put it: Neighborhoods need to organize for tactical peaceful counter response to such thugs. Many alternatives are available to let them know we are TIRED of American residents being harassed and mistreated. DAMN RIGHT.

De esta obra de arte de Dani Olmo no hubo ni 1 sola repetición durante el partido y la tienes que encontrar rebuscando por X. Del "enfado" de Lamine hay 20 planos y repeticiones en bucle, pero los insultos de la grada... a buscarlos en X. ¿Esto es futbol o sálvame @DAZN_ES ?

在一家公司干满45年，走的时候能带走什么？ 一位土耳其裔移民，在德国宝马工厂干了整整45年。 把所有的青春都留在了流水线上。 今天他正式告别岗位。 宝马没有发什么纪念奖杯。 直接送了他一辆零公里的全新宝马。 老工人接过钥匙，开着这辆车驶出了他打卡大半辈子的厂区。 一个人把一辈子交给一家公司。 公司用最体面的硬通货还他人情。 这种老派的工业时代契约，现在的企业根本学不会。

No hay forma humana de que hasta Finn Jones y Anson Mount hayan vuelto como Iron Fist y Black Bolt, y Chloe Bennet no vaya a volver como Daisy Johnson, después de haberse carreado 7 años del otro gran producto de Marvel TV aparte de Daredevil. Brad Winderbaum haz tu cocina.

This wasn't even given as a regular foul (we didn't even ask for a red but just a foul) and they told us to keep crying. Now they want a direct red card for Martin's challenge. You can suck a dick, respectfully. And keep crying.

This is Valverde her husband punching a player btw, no card.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan had two days. He flew in, met the cast, and was told: "You're Negan. Get on set and make these people afraid of you." A group of actors who'd worked together for six years, built real friendships, survived 80+ episodes together. Morgan had 48 hours to walk in and make them believe he could end any of them. He filmed the monologue over two nights. By the end, several cast members refused to make eye contact with him. Not as a bit. They couldn't look at him. Andrew Lincoln said he woke up in the middle of the night after reading this script and couldn't fall back asleep. He was late to set for the first time in six years. Lauren Cohan called it the hardest day on set she'd ever had in her life. "I never even imagined that as an actor you could have that experience." The producers filmed 11 different death versions so nobody could leak who actually died. Every cast member on their knees took a bat swing to the head on camera. Morgan went through and "smacked everybody with Lucille." Each actor had to perform their own murder. He said he was emotionally destroyed by the end. 14.19 million people watched this scene air live. The Season 7 premiere where the kill was revealed drew 17 million. For context, that beat Sunday Night Football in the 18-49 demo by 58%. This is the last time a cable drama commanded that kind of audience. Ten years ago today.

Ronaldinho got injured in March of the 2007–08 season right after that Atleti game and missed all the crucial matches, including the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals that season. If he had stayed fit, he would’ve reached his 100th goal for Barcelona. Pedro’s case is even more frustrating, he ended his Barcelona career with 99 official goals! 🤦‍♂️ Ronaldinho, Valdes, and Puyol all finished their Barcelona careers with an injury in their last season at the club, without anyone knowing it would be their final game. Messi’s situation was different, but even then, no one knew the Celta game in 2021 would be his last. It’s frustrating that so many legends ended their Barcelona careers that way.

Where was the same energy when her husband did this to De Jong two years ago? 😂

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation." RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: “Araujo had to come off due to the injury. Bernal said he wanted to try, but he was suffering from an ankle problem. Fortunately, the injuries don’t seem serious, we’ll see.” 🤞 “Why was Lamine actually angry? He delivered a great performance but he was emotional because he couldn’t find the goal or the final pass tonight. He’ll be back with a better mood in 3 days time.” ⭐ “I’m very happy with Marcus Rashford. He has shown his quality and he scored an important goal. I can’t say anything about his future, we have to focus in the matches until the end of the season. I can say the same thing about Robert Lewandowski.” “The guys were happy in the locker room. Everyone knows what’s coming up for us now and they’re aware that nothing is set in stone. We’re happy but not celebrating too much.” ⏳🤝 “Gerard Martín was trying to clear the ball. At the end he hit him, so it’s a decision for them to make. For me, it was not a red card. Since the first time I saw it.” “How good does it feel to see Real Madrid 7 points behind? I have already told you that we don’t look at other teams. We only focus on doing the job ourselves. I don’t care about other teams!” 🤫 “On Wednesday we play them again, and it will be very tough. We need to play our game, give everything, and prepare for the match.” 💙❤️

Loved this Rashford performance, not just the goal but I think he looked threatening for most of the game, always driving the play and trying to create something, making runs into space. I also liked his chemistry with Joao. But in terms of pressing and off the ball work in general, I still believe he can do better and show more intensity. I’m not asking him to be a “pressing dog” like Raphinha, but even a 30% increase in his off the ball intensity would be enough to make a big difference.

y pensar que hace 2 años, cierto entrenador enano vendido, le dijo que ya no contaría con ella para la temporada. símbolo de perseverancia, esfuerzo y dedicación, no por nada Alexia es la reina, más respeto 🫡

💥 David Bernabéu: — “In 2 years, they lost 5 Clásicos - including 3 finals - and are about to finish 2 seasons in La Liga without any titles.” — “With Mbappé, Vinícius, Bellingham and after spending over 200 million in the summer…” — “Yet, they complain about referees…”

What a game-changing winter signing Cancelo has been, couldn’t have possibly stepped up in a better way with Balde out. Need a goal against stringent low block? A better fullback doesn’t exist.

Donald Trump votes by mail. But this week, he signed an Executive Order so you can’t. Why? Because he is scared of your power, and he is scared of losing the midterms.

I think Flick’s idea is working really well, at least offensively. Using Dani Olmo as a false 9 is helping us a lot, whether it’s by dragging the centre-backs to create space for runners, or by dropping deeper to overload midfield and give us an extra passing option to beat the press. That’s led to around four big chances that honestly should’ve all been goals, two missed by Fermín, one by Lamine, and one taken by Rashford. Doing that away from home, it’s really hard to criticise Flick. Yes, the defensive approach is risky, but the attacking trade-off feels worth it, especially now that they’re down to ten men. The second half should be ours.
