Washington Spirit season ticket holder. Mission mobilizer. National Director of Development for Bridge of Hope National. Loved by Jesus. Against Christian nationalism. #woso
Though our beloved #WashingtonSpirit came up a goal short in the #NWSL Championship Match, our 9 year old just scored 5 goals in a 6-1 win for his travel team at tournament! #hattrickplustwo

"free DC" rings as loud and clear as at Audi Field! Love seeing Bay City supporters and fans at the Final helping Spirit supporters speak out against the military occupation of DC. #WashingtonSpirit #NWSL

Rise Up DC chant is so loud on the broadcast, almost feels like being at Audi! #washingtonspirit

Beyond belief that a POTUS would call for the hanging of US Senators and Members of Congress.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Washington Spirit has hosted more playoff matches at Audi Field this year (two) than D.C. United has since the stadium opened in 2018 (one).

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Gift Monday puts Spirit ahead, so soon after her father's passing and funeral. So pleased she got to put this one away...a special moment for her. #washingtonspirit ##rowdyaudi #FreeDC

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Trial of DC Sandwich Guy. What a joke this prosecution is. #FreeDC #militaryoccupation #ICEGestapo
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

there is a month-long treatment, regular blood work, & possibility of a 3rd surgery, complicated by being an immunocompromised person with long covid.

Thanks to all who have visited, texted, sent encouraging notes, provided meals and gift cards, and supported Christy & our boys. We feel your love.

Resting at home after an arduous emergency surgery and hospital stay to remove an abscess from my abdomen that deeply sickened me for weeks. Evidently, I picked up an antibiotic-resistant, hospital-borne bacteria when having an emergency appendectomy in May.

Still not out of the woods...

Ha! I and my Banana costume made it in tonight's Washington Post article about the role of inflatables and costumes at protests like No Kings! My interview is the closing quote- www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Joined a couple hundred thousand non-paid protestors at the #NoKingsDC Rally while my family participated in #NoKingsManheim with a crowd of 200 in our little PA town! #FreeDC

My mom is in the hospital and was completely unresponsive for almost 24 hours but just opened her eyes and told my brother to "Shut up." So there's still some fight left in this world, people.

Free DC chant is loud and clear on the broadcast in the 51st minute! Well done! @washingtonspirit.com #militaryoccupation

Thanks to @cloud9goth.bsky.social Gotham FC supporters group for leading the "Free DC" chant here at Subaru Park to oppose the militarized policing of DC by this Administration! We @washingtonspirit supporters here are deeply grateful!

A truth-teller disturbs, alerts, awakens, and warns against indifference to injustice and complacency about the needs of human beings. To be silent about injustices in this world is to be a partner with those who carry out violence, evil, and corruption.

Found in the wild: "The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism". I asked my local library to order a copy as it's relevant to our community that has mamy MK'S and retired missionaries, and they got it! Starting to give his book by @hollybfletcher.bsky.social a read.

"Free D.C." chant is loud-and-clear on the match broadcast. Thankful for opposing player Anna Heilferty (former Spirit!) urged Houston fans to join in the chant in the 51st minute, protesting the military occupation of D.C. by the current Administration.
