Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

As an American fan who came to soccer in my early 20s (and has 15+ years in now), it feels like y’all get stuck on “this is what the interpretation has always been” meanwhile American sports suffer from “let’s tweak the interpretation 5% every year”

Feels like an issue with the rules, then? Like, I get a head butt is a red but Shaw absolutely had the more dangerous play.

Right - how is Bentancur moving his head forward three inches worse than what Shaw did? I think in that case the rules have lost the plot a bit.

Something I appreciate about this podcast is that they’re always realistic. @notthatmilo.eurosky.social pointing out that the rules are the rules re: Bentancur is good perspective. Issue is that Shaw can run across the field and two-handed shove Bentancur and it’s less harsh than the response.

Referencing the Yiddish phrase that I have tattooed on my thigh in opposition to the right wing everywhere (“Mir Veln Zey Iberlebn” or “We Will Outlive Them”) is wild. “Them” isn’t those calling out Israel’s genocide, it’s the right wing forces (Bibi included) that got us here.

So while we’re all having a terrible time I’ll add that Van Hecke, who was supposed to be so great on the ball, has made a few good passes but also missed plenty and is a traffic cone defensively. Bozo business all summer. I was excited but I’m also not employed by a club to make these decisions.

You can shove a guy as hard as you can with the ball in play but the minute that guy takes exception and moves his forehead three inches towards you when you get in his face it’s a red card on the other guy cool got it

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Like imagine not being able to mourn the death of over 1,000 people because of how it’s been co-opted by family and friends who you’re learning are bloodthirsty ghouls in real time?

Love to my fellow Jews who dislike genocide. Unlike the “I’m not safe as a Jew in NYC” dinguses or the “I like money and hate LGTBQ+ people but Trump is mean” ghouls, we actually are a politically homeless group. Our shuls & family holidays are hostile. We’ve lost friends. Never again for anyone.

Higher Ed folks: A colleague of mine is asking for resources on teaching students in the arts who are pursuing a career (theater) but are going to have a hard time actually doing it due to neurodivergence or other things. Any resources for supporting these students or their faculty?

i understand why people have this instinct but the only recent firing squad execution in the united states was botched and even the state of *alabama* has said it is too unreliable. the only answer is no death penalty.

2) These teachers then leave and set policy as “former teachers,” often entrenched in TFA’s deficit-based view of these students. Also, TFA gets more money from the Walton family the more teachers they send to exclusionary charter schools.

Subway Takes (lol) has someone from TFA, the take is “If you can lead 6th grade you can lead anything.” TFA’s whole thing is “do this for two years then get a real job.” This means that: 1) Poor students and students of color get shit teachers AND

I think water is fine and you should still be offered some. I have been in charge of hiring folks before. Caring about people bringing stuff to an interview is insane to me. If a candidate brought coffee and was the best candidate I wouldn’t even think about it.

I have a multiple days late, incredibly Bluesky-brained iced coffee take (to be clear I only 70% believe this): Iced coffee is the drink of ire instead of hot coffee because it is more girl-coded and therefore viewed as less professional.

Being not Jewish, I was not aware of the key role Fruit Gems had in Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and other celebrations, I was just sad on my own account they were no longer going to be made. But now we all will have reason to celebrate: ejewishphilanthropy.com/sunkist-says...
