Shoutout to the trans, nonbinary, non gender conforming, gender fluid + community. It should go without saying your existence is valid and you matter. Even in spaces like the mma community where people will try and dim your light never let those bigots dim your light.

This is Linda Davis, a special education teacher who was killed in a car crash involving ICE agents
The agents didn’t render aid.
She was minutes from her school and bled to death in her car.
They didn’t offer aid to Renee Good or Alex Pretti either.
Say her name too.

Before “The Battle of the Little Giants” between Salvador Sanchez and Wilfredo Gomez, the fans at Caesars Palace were treated to an EPIC battle of the bands from both corners.
An incredible atmosphere being built before an incredible fight would take place.

Important to call this shit what it is: ICE is a paramilitary organization carrying out a state-sponsored campaign of ethnic cleansing. They’ve now killed two people and seem to be escalating every day. Just so we’re clear.

this is an execution. we have a band of nazi thugs roaming our streets.
GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.

My research also occasionally gets outsourced, which unfortunately means it's work that officially goes uncredited. For instance, one of Amazon's top boxing books? My research.
(I'm credited/acknowledged in a few other books, albeit as Patrick O'Connor and Patrick Conner lol.)
