Don’t let the media and trolls shape your perception. Protests ARE nonviolent. Protestors ARE decent people who care about community.
Protests ARE working as they put real pressure on elected officials.

Spoke to #BayFC Sydney Collins about potentially returning to the #CANWNT

"That's the goal - to get back and to achieve some of these goals that I set for myself."

"There's definitely times I didn't know if I was going to be able to be back on the field."

What a comeback and it's just the start.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Article by Melanie Anzidei and Ali Pelit

“The National Women’s Soccer League’s four-person executive committee voted to give commissioner Jessica Berman a three-year contract extension, according to sources briefed on the negotiations.

The committee retained the vote because they were concerned it would not pass in front of the full 16-team board of governors, according to the sources, who said it was not unanimous. The deal is not yet final.”
