This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Consistent with international law, FIFA determines that rules that apply to everyone else don’t apply to the US.

Breaking: Folarin Balogun will be available to play in USA's Round of 16 match against Belgium on Monday, FIFA announced.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has suspended the red card issued to the USA striker during their Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Great to see this live soon after the IOC announcement. It’s part of a longer history of scientific testing being inappropriately used to help justify ideologies about gender, bodies, and ability. I wrote a book >10 years ago about it, and the pattern continues and reflects contemporary politics.
