It’s a weird feeling to mourn someone you never met but feel like you know well.

I hope his young son reads all of Dan’s posts when he grows up and knows how kind, interesting, and funny his dad was. Philadelphia & the sports-writing world writ large lost a great one.

Rest easy, Dan, and Go Birds

Sunday was a game and atmosphere that was nothing like I’ve ever experienced, the heaviness, the anger, the sadness

It’s the first time I’ve been to a game where I truly believe no one wanted to be there

I tried to put it all into words below:

Target Center Was A Ghost Town On Sunday - Zone Coverage
I tried to do the math on how many basketball games I’ve been to. Between the Minnesota Timberwolves, Gophers, and Lynx, I finally settled on around 500

Just saw the Dan McQuade news and am incredibly sad. Philadelphia has lost an institution, and journalism is much worse off without him. Fuck.

That was the coolest/stupidest ending to a sporting event I’ve seen in a good long while
No one told Mourinho they needed a goal until 90 + 5, they were time wasting before that. Within 30 seconds of figuring out that they were actually fucked, they score. Unreal.

Pam Bondi: You post those photos of the Minneapolis criminals?

Social media manager: Sure did boss, real fuckin righteous and sticking it to the cowardly feds just like you asked.

Pam Bondi: what.
I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

Can someone describe to me why @governorwalz.mn.gov hasn't declared a peacetime emergency in order to, among other things, allow for an eviction moratorium?

That's not rhetorical - I legitimately can't imagine the good-faith argument against doing this, especially given his other statements.

“Hello fellow resister, before I ask you, a person I just met, about any crimes or joining Signal chats…did you catch last night’s game between the Chicago Blackhawks and our beloved Minnesota Wilds. Wild? Our local hockey team?”
ICE out here running around in crisp Wild hats, come on bro.

NEW: I spoke to women's sports bar owners about how they are showing up as sites of resistance—including on the frontlines in Minnesota. "Sport becomes the shared language—bringing people together and fueling social change, just as it has throughout history.”
how women's sports bars are resisting ICE
"These bars are gathering places that uplift and celebrate communities that have long been underserved and undervalued."

All I’ve been told so far is Lavelle “left the game with a head injury.” No further details at this time.
Most importantly, asking for updates on Rose Lavelle. Will update if I get any info.
