ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

I've seen some confusion over Justin Haak accepting a 1-year FA deal from the Galaxy instead of taking a longer, guaranteed deal from NYCFC. And unfortunately you kind of need to be an MLS CBA sicko to understand all the math at play here.

Great move by KEA. Callender should give us some solidity. Hope to see more signings soon!

🇺🇸 BREAKING: Minnesota United is nearing a deal to acquire goalkeeper Drake Callender from Charlotte FC, per sources.
Callender, 28, won trophies with Inter Miami before being traded to Charlotte. Obviously a starting GK in this league... heads to Minnesota to be new starter.

I am beyond speechless right now.
Updated news story: Dayne St. Clair turned down an $1 million offer from #MNUFC -- which would have put him in the top five highest-paid goalkeepers in #MLS -- for a smaller deal to play with Inter Miami and Leo Messi.

My 22 Under 22 vote is in. As usual I skewed much more heavily towards "proven" rather than "prospect," and the fact that here were so many of the former seems like an indication of health for the league overall.

Dieng might be the best young player in the USL, and he's got an elite nose for goal. You can't ask for better instinct in the box and movement in transition. For my money, he can score right away in MLS if the service is there.
Big, big questions for Hartford's playoff hopes.

Would really like to see a version of the Loons that are more committed to possessing the ball and showing just as much discipline in attack as they do in defense.
