I think the US coach should not honor the overturned red card. This is all tainted.
wow, so, everyone who said "hey, Platner sucks" are proven depressingly correct and, by my experience, it was a huge, DIVERSE spread of people, liberals, leftists of various stripes, all of them going "hey, this guy fucking sucks"

A huge thing to the credit of Ted Turner: he was widely criticized for his dumb and stupid classic movie colorization scheme and instead of doubling down and crashing out over the negative publicity, he listened to the criticism and launched Turner Classic Movies.
people who work with kids agree: "please stop murdering and torturing children." the fact that this isn't the default position of any thinking and feeling person is such an indictment of American society.
Mike Hixenbaugh@mikehixenbaugh.com · 5mo agoIt’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.
After we defeat MAGA whoever is left should be tried for crimes against humanity. There’s no room for handwringing or decorum or whatever shit people want to hide behind. Anyone asking for a vote or asking ti be trusted with power needs to commit to this often and loudly.

Doing systemic racism to eliminate research on systemic racism to make systemic racism easier to hide and deny.
404 Media@404media.co · 6mo agoVideos included DOGE members unable or unwilling to define DEI; discussing how they used ChatGPT and terms such as “black” and “homosexual” to flag grants for termination but not “white” or “caucasian,” and acknowledgements they failed to achieve the stated goal of lowering the government deficit.
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
404 Media@404media.co · 6mo agoThis is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.
