Evidence # 3,257,391 that the U.S. Government is no longer operating in good faith and should not be extended any benefit of doubt in a court of law or anywhere else.
So ICE is forging people’s signatures to say that they agreed to be deported and then holding them hostage if their lawyers appeal their cases

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

This (antivaccination + ice camps) is covert biological warfare by the U.S. Government against against the people of the United States. This administration is sick, cruel, criminal, and a rogue state.

Can someone in No One Good FC please ask Matt Wells point blank: you say you want to dominate with the ball, but how are your players going to dominate against world class players? How are you going to respond when they cannot dominate with the ball against better teams? #Rapids96

In 2023, MLS started petitioning U.S. states and territories to ban prop bets on players earning yellow or red cards in games.
There are now 41 jurisdictions where sports betting is legal. 33 agreed with the ban, 8 have not.
I don't yet have the exact list.

MLS strikes a deal with prediction market Polymarket, and says it’s about protecting integrity of games
Prediction markets work by having users choose from two possible outcomes for an event, and are given a percentage likelihood of each. They are legal nationwide, unlike traditional sports betting.

I haven't seen much (read: any) discussion of #Rapids96 preseason scrimmage vs Nashville on here, so I thought I'd add my thoughts: 1. Yapi SZN -> soon. 2. First goal given up should have been a foul called. Second conceded was a Keegan mistake. Third was a Hansen mistake. All easily correctible.

The cruelty is the point! Fuck this administration and every single person working for it. They all deserve to rot in the exact same conditions they send people like this to.
Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
