NHL posts adorable 'girl dad' photo of hockey player — then deletes it after maniacal anti-Trumpers lose their minds
The deranged response to a "girl dad" photo of a hockey player led the National Hockey League to delete a post completely unrelated to President Donald Trump.
The photo showed Washington Capitals center Dylan Strome with his 2-year-old daughter dressed up like a princess at a Disney makeover boutique.
'The comments and messages about my TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER are some of the most vile and disgusting things I have ever read in my life.'
While most people found the post adorable, some commenters tied it to the Olympic men's hockey team accepting a call from President Donald Trump after its incredible gold-medal victory. Some of the players laughed when the president joked that he would be called misogynistic if he didn't invite the women's team to the White House as well.
But there was a problem with that criticism — Strome had nothing to do with that call and didn't play in the Olympics. Also, he's Canadian.
A screenshot of some of the responses included:
- "Laughing at a misogynistic joke a rapist and pedophile told — more like worst girl dad ever."
- "Not using the daughter as a human shield my god today."
- "A girl dad would put out a statement that he meant no harm by laughing along with a convicted rapist/pedophile mocking the women's team who has meddled [sic] way more than the men."
- "Oh yea suuuuucha lover of women, think he'll laugh at her accomplishments too??"
- "I feel sorry for the kid ... imagine having THAT as your dad."
"Crazy being a 'girl dad' and worshipping a pedophile," another response reads.
"No. Absolutely not. An ultimate girl dad would NOT disparage & laugh at a women's team who is 10x better than his own. He is obviously a woman-hater, just like Trump. F**k those biggest losers," another user responded.
"Don't hide misogyny behind 'girl dad.' Being a girl dad means fighting for equal pay, equal respect, and equal opportunity — EVERYWHERE. I coach my daughter's team. I elevate women's sports. I fight for their bodily autonomy. That's what it actually looks like. Shame on you, @NHL," another crazed message reads.
"So he watches a video on his phone while wearing a 'girl dad' hat. That's all a girl can ask for, right? Certainly not standing up against misogyny from a pedophile rapist who pooped his pants longer than she did," another critic replied.
The NHL deleted the post from social media but has not indicated a reason for the deletion.
Strome's wife, on the other hand, had much to say to those who irrationally attacked her husband and her daughter.
"We were placed into a narrative that we have absolutely nothing to do with, and we certainly did not choose to have our family used in it. You can debate adults all you want, but dragging my husband and especially my toddler into something that has nothing to do with us is beyond unacceptable," she wrote.
"The comments and messages about my TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER are some of the most vile and disgusting things I have ever read in my life," she added. "This isn't about politics. She is a child. Full stop. Do better. [And] to everyone who has reached out or addressed this situation with more than a single brain cell, thank you."
The president invited the U.S. men's team and the women's team to his State of the Union speech Tuesday, and while the men attended, the women's team declined.

FBI raids home and office of Los Angeles school superintendent, outspoken critic of ICE raids
Federal authorities confirmed media reports that the home and office of the Los Angeles School District superintendent were raided Wednesday but could not offer additional details.
Superintendent Alberto Carvalho oversees the second-largest school district in the U.S., with over 420,000 students.
'We can confirm that the FBI is serving a court-authorized warrant.'
Sources told KNBC-TV that Carvalho's home in San Pedro was searched on a warrant. One neighbor reportedly saw as many as 20 agents at the residence.
"We can confirm that the FBI is serving a court-authorized warrant at those locations," said the Los Angeles office of the FBI in a statement. "However, the affidavit in support of the warrant has been sealed by the court and we, therefore, have no further comment."
Carvalho has been a frequent and vocal critic of the Trump administration, especially with regard to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations near his schools.
In June, he said that school police would be deployed to protect the families of students from federal law enforcement agents at graduation ceremonies.
"We stand strongly on the right side of law," said Carvalho at the time. "Every student in our community, every student across the country, has a constitutional right to a free public education of high quality, without threat."

"Every one of our students, independently of their immigration status, has a right to a free meal in our schools. Every one of our children, no questions asked, has a right to counseling, social-emotional support, mental support," he added.
Carvalho has been the LAUSD superintendent since 2022 and previously managed the Miami-Dade School District. He has often cited his experience as a former illegal alien from Portugal when criticizing the Trump administration.

Anti-ICE inflatable frogs join Democrats at State of the Union counter event
While President Donald Trump gave the first State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday night, many Democrats boycotted the speech and opted to engage in some unconventional counterprogramming.
For example, some Democrats attended an event organized by Defiance.org at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C, and at least one of them was joined on stage by some ... special guests.
'Tonight I defy Trump and his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade!'
Video emerged on Tuesday night showing Oregon Rep. Maxine Dexter (D) speaking at the event, while six inflatable frogs stood beside her and many more stood off to the side.
"Tonight I defy Trump and his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade!" Dexter said as the frogs jumped around and waved small American flags.

Defiance.org describes itself as a "club for courageous Americans — people willing to take peaceful, lawful, defiant action to defend democracy from a wannabe dictator." The organization partnered with the Portland Frog Brigade for this event, though the group has been making its anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement stance known since last year.
According to its "about" page, the Portland Frog Brigade was created after an anti-ICE activist — apparently known by several names such as Toad, Toad Todd, and antifascistfrog — was sprayed by federal law enforcement outside Portland's ICE facility. The organization emphasizes that the "absurdity" is core to the idea behind the group:
The image of a cartoon frog facing off against a wall of heavily armored men was so strikingly absurd that it cut straight through the noise and brought home the reality that our government is treating peaceful citizens as enemies.From that moment, the frog became a symbol of resistance that refuses to lose its joy. The Brigade took inspiration from Toad and grew as so many others donned inflatable animal suits and joined actions across the country and around the world.
However, not all is well in inflatable paradise.
The partnership between Defiance.org and Portland Frog Brigade has apparently caused infighting with an adjacent group called Operation Inflation.
Operation Inflation posted a video on Instagram criticizing the partnership and distancing itself from the other organization: "The frog brigade, however, saw the frog and emptied it of context, taking the image without the work, the aesthetic without the politics, and shared it with an establishment that can only function through neutralizing resistance."
"When the loudest voices take the safest route, do not trust them," the spokesperson in a red frog suit said.
Toad, the figurehead, reposted the video on his own Instagram account, seemingly attempting to likewise distance the symbol from the Portland Frog Brigade. He has also previously called the brigade a "business of grifters seeking to piggy off the backs of actual activists."
