They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.

An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

This is exactly what I meant when I said hockey culture’s issues are not isolated to just one country.

Time and time again, men’s hockey media has shown that the only tough questions they’re willing to ask are ones related to a team’s performance ON the ice.

They can and should do better.

Henrietta Lacks is the reason we dont get polio anymore.

Henrietta Lacks is the reason in-vitro works

Henrietta Lacks is the reason there's an HPV vaccine, gene mapping, we know how cancer cells divide, AIDs is no longer a death sentence.

I am so sorry, Karen. My deepest condolences. May his memory be a blessing.

I tried to make a donation to RSS in his honor, but the contribution button is acting weird (keeps reloading the same page instead of opening the link to donate). Is there another organization you would like us to support?

Schedule

if you loved watching women's hockey at the Olympics, keep up that energy with the PWHL / NCAA.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as β€œpulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

This includes Mr. Davidson and also includes Mr. Jordan and Mr. Lindo and the others watching the show.

Thank you. Much of this resonates with what my own child has battled for years. And yes, the BAFTA team absolutely deserves everything coming for them. Their decisions were heartless, thoughtless, and cruel. AND I believe that our conversation should include how we make amends to victims of harm.

Being left unaddressed.

My child's tics are involuntary. But that fact does not mean they are not harmful. And just knowing they are involuntary does not alleviate harm on its own.

Also, there are Black people with TS/FND. Listen to them on this issue as well as to Mr. Davidson.

That should have been Mr. Lindo.

Nor does it address the harm done to people watching the show, either in the audience or on tqpe delay.

Part of the tragedy with TS is that we live in an ableist society. And we live in a racist society. And from too many fellow white people, that second fact is 2/

One of my children has TS/FND and dealt with corprolalia. So I understand, deeply, how he feels mortified. But that still leaves the focus on him, not on the people he harmed. Even this article focuses on the cost to his success and career, not to the personal cost to Mr. Jordan and Lindo, 1/

Seeing Trump and Kash Patel interact with the men’s hockey team is a solid example of how misogyny functions as a male bonding ritual. Patel is clearly trying to impress the athletes and Trump, Trump is trying to impress the athletes, and the athletes are trying to impress the president

β€˜Heated Rivalry’ Is Bringing New Fans to Hockey. Does the Sport Deserve Them? Obsession over a show about two closeted hockey players has brought new fandom to the sport just ahead of the Olympics. But men's hockey's lack of support for LGBTQ+ players and fans is notable.

A lot of people are sharing that clip of the US men's hockey team laughing about the women's team with Trump/Kash Patel. A couple weeks ago, I wrote about how, despite the Heated Rivalry effect, hockey culture still sucks: www.wired.com/story/winter...
