I challenge Sinema to a match race - if she loses she has to donate all her expenses to the labor movement

NEW: I found at least 6 instances Sen. Sinema appeared to fundraise in areas she traveled to for marathons and other races—allowing her to charge her campaign for thousands of dollars worth of hotel, airfare, and meal expenses thedailybeast.com/how-kyrsten-si

on why swimming’s “culture created the perfect conditions for trans-exclusionary beliefs to take over, thru a combo of its overwhelming whiteness, history of rampant sexual abuse, and a 40-yr-old doping scandal that still haunts the sport.”

How Women's Swimming Got So Transphobic
Almost no other sport is as hostile to trans athletes—and that's because its culture created the perfect conditions for transphobia to take root.

You've heard of steeplechasers who also run the flat 3k, but Lamecha Girma may be a 3k runner who also hurdles... The Ethiopian star follows up his indoor WR with a world-leading 7:26.18 in the Doha DL 3000m over compatriots Selemon Barega & Berihu Aregawi.

nyc shld explode in protest after the public lynching that went down on the subway, but if the last time a wht man murdered a blk unhoused man in cold blood is any indication, they won't. they are living out their deadly fantasies in broad daylight, & no one is stopping them.

O’Hare was expanded by Harold Washington to provide more employment to a working class city and to connect it to the world. It’s decline now means that employees are treated like trash, from the pilots, to the crew, to the service stash. Solidarity with AA pilots!

These American pilots just took an overwhelming strike vote and they have an impressive picket line at Ohare this morning!

Sifan woke up and cried, "I was telling myself I was stupid to decide to run the marathon." Pros, they're just like us.

For years Chicago has been a racist meme for the right. Vallas calculated cashing in on real fears abt violence in the city. But Chicago is also home to absurd levels of racist Police corruption & brutality. People have really had enough. It’s time to try something else.

Brandon Johnson is now leading by 2.4%. 51.1% to 48.8%. That's a margin of 13K votes. About 60 precincts remain (out of 1300), & then some late-arriving mail.

Exactly - these policies also give fuel to the fire that state and national governments are using to attack trans people on all levels, which accompanies what has been a near-daily roll back of human rights.

The body prez said the decision was ”guided by the overarching principle which is to protect the female category.” Generally, trans sports bans are not about “protecting” cis women or about “fairness,” they’re part of a coordinated effort to keep trans people out of public life

“there are currently no transgender athletes competing internationally in the sport." Then how is this an attempt to protect womens sports? Would be so cool if we addressed actual threats to women’s sports like sexual harassment, lack of women leadership, unequal representation

The World Athletics Council has made a number of important decisions regarding the future participation of the Russian and Belarusian Member Federations in athletics, and the eligibility regulations for athletes who are transgender or who have Differences of Sexual Development.

What really pisses me off more about his statement, if untrue is that he’s using the Kenyan doctors as scapegoat, a lot like the Mexican food BS. Own your sh**, you went looking for it, better yet, tell us truthfully who gave you PEDs so they’re held accountable n you safe others

Zane Robertson's explanation - that he wanted a Covid-19 vaccine but got injected with EPO - is up there with Tyler Hamilton's vanishing twin and Dennis Mitchell's sex marathon in the pantheon of doping excuses. nzherald.co.nz/sport/kiwi-oly

Also (and aside from the below and that not allowing a BLM singlet is political, in a bad way) Laz does not even say he would not allow a Confederate Flag now in the Nytimes article. He literally just says I'd think differently.

I shouldn’t be surprised that this went right over many people’s heads, but not only does this not “cover both sides,” it doesn’t even mention Ben Chan by name, let alone quote him. Wouldn’t have been hard at all. Imagine if I hadn’t bothered to talk to Laz for my piece. twitter.com/MarathnInvestg…
