Again: don’t get complacent. Polls look great, but polls don’t vote. Ignore this shit and vote like we’re down by 3%

One of the best sports teams in the country is flying under the radar in Kansas City. The Roos men’s soccer team at the University of Missouri-Kansas City has achieved its best national ranking in program history, and the season is far from over.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

@theassignmentmsnow.bsky.social has the dream team of Ozer and Rubin on. Thank you @msnownews.bsky.social for bringing the truth.

With cooler temperatures and the region’s natural fall beauty, it’s the perfect time to get outside to join community events. Kansas City has no lack of entertainment options for foodies, music fans, and anyone looking to get into the autumnal spirit.

I saw that clip circulating yesterday and thought there could be a completely normal, non-sexist, explanation other than the rage bait one. Grateful for this (really well-written!) peek into a loving family, sad she felt she had to write it. themomoftheyear.substack.com/p/im-the-mom...

Whenever I watch the US Men’s soccer team play, I remind myself the US Women’s soccer team have won their World Cup 4 times and remain the most successful team in tournament history.

I get it. Maine is super special. But... Maybe it's time to face the glaring, latent misogyny infused throughout our party instead of giving every man throwing a tantrum anything they want and demanding every woman "fall in line" to be a "team player."

Dog rescued in Venezuela after 6 days in rubble! Such goodness all around 😍
