Starting next year, MLS will align itself with big European leagues and become a summer-to-spring operation. Executives see the change as an opportunity
NEWS: LA Lakers Co-Owner’s Firm Linked to Proposed $80 Million ICE Warehouse Deal in Texas — a massive facility that could detain up to 9,500 people.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
NEW: Inter Miami’s offseason has launched dreams of a dynasty, carefully recalibrating without Alba and Busquets and upgrading weaknesses at the back.
Just don’t view it as evidence of a new era for MLS squad building. On a cap-navigation trick no team can match. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota

This part of his quote is obviously and rightfully getting the headlines but the end of the clip is just as important:
"Saying everything that's on my mind would have a cost that's too great for me right now...I know I'm a foreigner and I am concerned, for sure."
Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”
Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”
Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
Guardian investigative correspondent Oliver Laughland and video producer Tom Silverstone report from the front lines of ordinary Americans’ war with Trump’s ICE hit squads in Minneapolis and its Minnesota environs.

“He wanted to help people. He was a super nice, super helpful guy," said @dimitridrekonja.bsky.social, who worked with ICU nurse Alex Pretti.
Pretti's dad recalls that his son "was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis."

NBA star Tyrese Halliburton speaks out
Rare NRA pushback against the Trump administration regarding law enforcement shooting Americans with guns
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
I truly understand the pleas for ICE to leave Minnesota. But leaving MN to go terrorize other states isn’t what anyone wants.
ICE/DHS is kidnapping and murdering people in the streets AND IN DETENTION CENTERS.
Abolishing ICE - and holding its leaders & agents accountable- is the absolute minimum.
block immediately everyone
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
Homeland Security @DHSgov X.com Electoral power is being transferred from the hands of criminal illegals, back into the hands of American citizens.

Another data point indicating that Polymarket is not a “prediction market” but a public persuasion operation—here it spreads disinformation about Minnesota and DHS signals boosts the disinformation:
"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car"
"His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

The boy has head bowed, holding his confectionary, as he is taken away.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.
430k of us vs. 2k of them, we're gonna win this
Cedar & 31st I think
Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.
