🚨🗣️ Chilavert (Paraguayan legend): "Back in the 1998 World Cup, we faced the French national team."
"Now Paraguay will face the African national team in this World Cup."
A Croácia tem 35 anos de existência, já foi vice campeã e 2x terceiro lugar na copa com 7 participações.
Portugal tem 887 anos, participou de 9 copas e o melhor resultado foi um 3° lugar em 1966, 25 anos antes da Croácia existir.
Mas nanico é a Croácia 😂

West Harlem has one of the best World Cup watch spots in the city. This French African church decked out their backyard with flags and screens so anyone can watch for free, every night. Half dozen languages in the air, everyone just rooting for good football
Truly breathtaking taking what Megyn Kelly intentionally leaves out of her rant.
Kelly pretends the problem is some inherent flaw in Haitian “culture” or lack of “work ethic.”
In reality, the conditions forcing people to flee — extreme poverty, gang violence fueled by desperation, collapsed institutions — are the direct legacy of U.S.-backed coups, economic warfare, and neocolonial policies designed to keep Haiti weak, dependent, and a source of exploitable labor.
Direct U.S. interventions destroyed their ability to build a decent life at home.
Demanding they “go back” to the ruins those policies helped engineer is pure hypocrisy. The desperation isn’t innate — it was manufactured by the very powerful economic forces and U.S. government coups Kelly refuses to acknowledge.
When Jean-Bertrand Aristide — Haiti’s first democratically elected president, backed by the poor and working masses — took office, his government immediately moved to double the minimum wage, mobilize the poor, bolster healthcare and education, foster neighborhood truces, and hold paramilitaries accountable.
These pro-worker steps threatened the sweatshop owners and foreign interests profiting from starvation wages.
The U.S. responded with economic sabotage and a violent coup.
A classified diplomatic cable obtained by The Grayzone reveals veteran CIA operative Janice L. Elmore (operating under State Department cover) meeting coup plotters and disloyal police in Gonaïves right before a strategic 2002 jailbreak that freed paramilitaries and set the 2004 overthrow in motion.
The Bush administration, through the U.S. government-funded International Republican Institute, trained and unified Aristide’s opponents, encouraged them to reject power-sharing, imposed crippling sanctions that froze loans and aid, and ultimately backed the coup that ousted Aristide on February 29, 2004.
Post-coup, the price of rice — the staple food for Haiti’s poor — more than doubled in months.
Looting, chaos, starvation risks, mass layoffs, and paramilitary violence followed. Regime change delivered exactly what the poor had feared: more misery.
This fits a longer pattern. Under Bill Clinton, the U.S. slashed tariffs on subsidized American rice, flooding Haiti and wiping out local rice farmers. Clinton himself later admitted: “It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but it has not worked. It was a mistake.”
The result was the destruction of Haitian agriculture and forced dependence on low-wage factory jobs.
Wikileaks cables show U.S. officials and contractors for major American brands actively pressured Haitian governments against even modest minimum wage increases — opposing a rise from 24 cents to 61 cents an hour as supposedly not reflecting “economic reality.”
Aristide’s earlier wage hikes were sabotaged for the same reason: protecting cheap labor for U.S. corporate interests.
Rep. Ritchie Torres won New York’s 15th Congressional District Democratic primary on Tuesday with 23,258 votes, or 71.9% of ballots cast, defeating Michael Blake and Jose Vega in a low-turnout contest.
Andre Easton, a Bronx public school teacher and pro-Palestine socialist who is running as an independent in November, said the result “is not a victory resulting from mass support,” noting Torres received just 23,000 votes in a congressional district of roughly 750,000 residents.
Easton also announced he had filed more than 10,000 petition signatures to secure a place on the general election ballot against Torres. He says the “fight… has just begun.”
Only getting started. All out war for the next 4 months. Now we know the number to turn out.
In the last 2 weeks, we had an explosion of donations, volunteer signs up, and massive momentum built up.
There’s no slowing down. We petitioned to get our name on the ballot for November.
Only 12 percent of the registered bronx NY-15 pulled up to vote.
We will change that.
I had to get this off my chest! Shame on Adriano Espaillat! NY-13 stand up for Darializa today! Espallait should walk with his head in disgrace. Vote Espaillat out today! SHAME!
🚨POLLS ARE OPEN NYC🚨
Today, New Yorkers can send two true fighters for the working class to Congress.
@DarializaforNY & @claireforny are running to take on the billionaires raising our prices, abolish ICE, build worker power, & end the genocide in Gaza.
Let's win. Go vote!
