Minnesota women’s soccer team takes strong stance against ICE: ‘It’s very real and very scary’ Minnesota Aurora has taken multiple actions to oppose ICE in the Twin Cities and support its community.

“It’s a two-way road. We have a community that supports our soccer team, and we have a soccer team that supports our community.”

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Age verification? Do you mean a/s/l?

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave.

Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Bar chart Title: Best sources for women's soccer data Subtitle: Women's competitions with xG Data | 8 comps surveyed Chart shows # of comps on y-axis. Only FBref scored 8/8. Next closest is Fotmob at 4.

In the wake of FBref's defacto death, I saw a lot of posts suggesting alternate data sources. Unfortunately, many of them focus exclusively on men's soccer. To measure what options remain for woso, I conducted a survey of the most popular FBref alternatives. What I found is disappointing:
