I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
America... boy, I dunno.

Thanks Pablo and Paola for some incredible reporting! It is so important to tell the individual stories of those disappeared by our government. 🤟
This is an athlete Trump doesn't want you to know about.

He's a pro soccer goalie with no criminal record.

He legally immigrated to the US, fleeing persecution from Venezuela's dictator.

But the White House disappeared him to El Salvador — because of a tattoo: www.youtube.com/watch?si=zNc...

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation

Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"

Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

@josernunez91.bsky.social I'm curious about the Union playing through this international break. Do you know if it was a choice for the Union or did MLS make the decision? I noticed that NE and Miami are the only clubs not playing this weekend. They play Wed Jul 9, with no other clubs playing.

The inarticulate part is actually quite jarring/striking to non-Americans who expect their politicians to have a broad vocabulary & more context than “no one has ever seen anything like this” that would be expected from a 6-year old.

/6 It’s not clear to me why the “no due process for criminals” people aspire to be American. It seems if you have that blind faith that the state will do the right thing you’d be better off in some totalitarian society where the state dictates every aspect of your life, for the common good.

PSA to news and sports organizations: get a domain name handle. Having a .bsky.social handle is like sending work emails from a Gmail account. It works, but it's a lot harder to verify the information is correct.

If Josh Shapiro really wants to be president, he’ll find a way to fix this (by flexing federal highway funds in the short term and finding a legislative deal in the long term)

Letting the transit system of Pennsylvania’s economic engine crumble is not a good look.
Due to a lack of state legislative action, Philadelphia's SEPTA transit system faces a $240 m budget shortfall next year.

The agency says that—without a solution—it will cut service by 20% & increase fares by 29%. This would be devastating to riders.
SEPTA to propose "major" fare hikes and service cuts amid budget crisis
SEPTA officials are set to propose a "historically high fare increase" and "major service cuts" as the agency grapples with a $240 million budget deficit.
