Y’all means all isn’t just a slogan for us. It means we are a welcoming, inclusive community to everyone. We stand with the @rosecityriveters.org, the transgender and LGBTQ+ community — hate has no place in women’s soccer, or anywhere. If you come for one, you can expect us all.

Anti-trans bigots are coming to NWSL games looking to provoke violence or other incidents that could go viral. This is the back-up plan: harass and endanger anyone who stands up to them. NWSL is going to have to contend with this. Kicking the can down the road will put too many fans at risk.

wrote my email this morning, highly recommend everyone, in Portland or not, do the same. (email addresses in the original thread)
everyone should be asking Zoe Raiter zraiter@thorns.com and Elise di Sabella edisabella@thorns.com exactly why Rory (who was banned) was allowed into the stadium with other known agitators who were CLEARLY breaking the code of conduct without security intervention.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

I wrote about the efforts of Valkyries fans to shut down anti-trans protestors at games, with the most recent notable example happening at Game 1 www.sfgate.com/valkyries/ar...

Private equity & billionaires are pouring millions on Question 3 to buy MA elections & rig them in favor of the ultra-wealthy. I'm with @voterrightsma.bsky.social & a grassroots coalition to say HELL NO to Question 3 so we can keep power in the hands of the people. www.facebook.com/share/v/1CQd...

Meta is a tool of fascism. (It has been for a long time, but no time like the present to figure it out).
Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.
