The only way Ireland's World Cup dream would continue was if they could beat Portugal at home and Hungary away. Last Thursday, Troy Parrott scored twice in Dublin to beat one of Europe's best teams. Today, in one of the most dramatic games in World Cup qualifying, Parrott recorded a hat trick, with the game winning goal coming in the 95th minute. He is single-handedly taking Ireland closer to their first World Cup since 2002 🇮🇪

Louisianans! Let's keep the pressure on Gov. Landry to say no to gassing our fellow citizens. Send a copy of PJI's letter to the governor, it's pre-written, but you can add your own subject and use your own words to give more impact! https://t.co/n1rwBYAQLx
Today, a judge found that the death penalty process in several North Carolina counties was infected with racism from start to finish. Congratulations to @NAACP_LDF@ACLU_NC and the Center for Death Penalty Litigation on this major victory!
NEWS: President Biden has commuted death sentences for 37 of the 40 men on federal death row. They will now serve life sentences and cannot be executed. This is a milestone in the fight to shut down the death penalty — thank you! https://t.co/zonRvQmNDr
