Her shot is so special when she lets it rip. I can't tell if the offense doesn't set her up for more shots or she is looking for passes first then shots, but the Frost really need to get her shooting more per game given her shot.

Very weird for your POTG to not be the first star of the game and also a player that took a penalty? Anything to boost any positive narrative for the player everyone boo’s.
First goal of the season and an assist 🥳

Ash Tifa's comment at the end here pretty much sums it up for me. Britta's would have a lot of work to do before I move on, and going to the athletic to say "I have compassion for trans people but don't want them in sports" doesn't make much movement on that.
From @theathletic.com: Hockey player Britta Curl-Salemme has been accused of being transphobic and politically polarizing. Apart from a brief public apology a few days after she was drafted, she has never addressed the controversy — until now.

The USMNT is going a great job at getting me to care even less about them.

Not holding my breath to see whether Deena and her editors at the Strib deem it newsworthy that the City Auditor found that Frey has created an environment ripe for fraud with his resistance to oversight and accountability.

It probably would be exceptionally petty, but I want every coach that plays the Wave from this point on to do the same shit to him. He doesn't deserve any respect from any coach or players given his history of behavior.

I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:
Yesterday, I hosted an incredible event, "Ward 8 for a New Mayor." We talked about why we need a new mayor and then @jazzformayor.bsky.social , @omarfatehmn.com , and @dewayneforminneapolis.com laid out why they should be our next mayor. I came away excited about all of them and will rank all three!

anti jacob frey billboard at lake & cedar says “bye frey, vote nov 4” doesn’t bother telling you who to vote for

this stuff isn’t helpful, you gotta learn from the mistakes of 2021, promote candidates, promote someone to vote FOR, not just who to vote AGAINST!

The current mayor of Minneapolis continues to show how little he genuinely cares about the people he was elected to govern. 8 years of him being mayor has been 8 years too many.
I just met with the Mayor’s Administration and asked about the deployment of the Mobile Medical Unit to the Longfellow neighborhood.

I will summarize what was a succinct conversation. There is no plan in the near future to bring this service to our unsheltered residents currently here. 1/

Lynx fans, do they historically open up second level tickets for early round playoff games or just the later rounds?

We are asking cisgender allies in Minnesota who consider themselves members of the DFL to sign on to show support for trans people here.

that’s the goal - “looks so much better with no buses and a bunch of rich people who work in commercial real estate dining in the street with all the poor transit users pushed away”

Your Reigning Finals MVP. Your superstar goal scorer. Your Ballon d'Or finalist. Out because she didn't get enough time to warm up in a game that shouldn't have been played. I'd quit and go into hiding from the shame.

Jacob isn’t in power because he’s competent or likable (he’s neither); he is in power because rich people spend enormous sums of money to flood our communities with misleading propaganda. He is in power because our billionaire-owned news outlet repeats his lies and smears his opponents.
We deserve a city government that works for all of us—where decisions are made based on what’s right for the people of our city, not based on who is most loyal to the mayor.

We deserve better.

The Athletic report recapping Saturday's timeline is just one of multiple instances where NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman failed to care for player safety this season.

Something has to change.

New from me: The NWSL is failing to meet the moment.

The NWSL’s growth mindset has continually come at the expense of player safety.

The DFL only voiding the mayor endorsement and not the park board ones that happened after, really shows the entire reasoning for this. Frey got his rich buddies to help himself out and threw everyone else to the side all in the name of serving himself. That’s just standard Frey behavior.
