Gata Sports Tours is at a new stadium (for Gata): Estadi Johan Cruyff, watching Barça Femení take on Benfica in Champions League. Barça up 3-1 at minute 59. We’re also wondering when “Sweet Caroline” became standard in Spanish ⚽️ - we’ve been at 7 matches, 5 home teams, and all or almost all have played it. #championsleague #fcbarcelona #benfica

Doblete para Koundé dentro de nada. Ahora 2-1 Barça. #championsleague #barca

Not a good start for Barça here in its first Champions League match back at Camp Nou. Down 1-0. They really need to at least tie tonight. #barça #ChampionsLeague

This by Sherrilyn Ifill is outstanding: a must-read and must-act upon piece on the direness of the threat to democracy. And yes, we’ve been sounding the alarms but the level of attacks is intensifying.

Is It Too Late?

No. But We Must Better Understand the Nature of the Battle

Hmmm, Jared Kushner is part of Paramount’s (Trump bud-Ellison owned Paramount) would-be hostile takeover of Warner Brothers. And investment firms from Saudi, Qatar and Abu Dhabi are all silent partners. Nothing fishy at all, I’m sure 🙄 https://www.axios.com/2025/12/08/jared-kushner-paramount-warner-bros-netflix #corruption #uspol #trump

Don’t normalize Trump’s dehumanizing words and actions. Doing so is complicity.

Trump’s Dehumanization Campaign Is Becoming Normalized

A president who calls immigrants “garbage” is dangerous enough. A country that grows desensitized to it is even more frightening.
