THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

1/ When Ana imagined getting married and raising a family, her list of motherhood expectations did not include one day preparing her elementary school-age children, all of them U.S. citizens, for an encounter with ICE.

This is Ana’s reality during the second Trump administration. bit.ly/4qUealy

A person in a USA hockey jersey is surrounded by falling snowflakes. The text reads: "Hilary Knight breaks goal record in last Olympic game. With 15, Knight has scored more than any U.S. Olympic hockey player in history β€” among men or women." The logo for "The 19th" is visible in the corner.

Hilary Knight had one more chance to beat an Olympic record, and she did it when the stakes were highest: in the final match of her Olympic career against the one rival team that has bested the United States. https://bit.ly/4tJu0SH

Beck TD run with :18 left sends Hurricanes to Hard Rock Stadium for UM’s first national title game since 2003 Carson Beck scored a game-winning touchdown in the last minute of the Fiesta Bowl, sending Miami to its first national title game in more than 20 years.

WHAT A GUTSY GAME."

Miami breaks its Fiesta Bowl curse and clinches its first trip to the national title since 2003.

No. 12 Hurricanes make playoff case with blowout win over No. 22 Pittsburgh The No. 12 Hurricanes need some help to make the College Football Playoff. They did everything in their power to earn a spot, blowing out No. 22 Pittsburgh on the road.

BREAKING: No. 12 Miami makes its playoff case, blowing out No. 22 Pitt, 38-7.

Carson Beck, Malachi Toney and the defense all star in the victory. Now it's up to the committee β€” unless Miami finds its way into the ACC title game.
