Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 is the second player in history to score 17 goals at a World Cup. Marta did it first! 🇧🇷👑

Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”

“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

Football is in a dark place, 4 alleged sex offenders playing in the World Cup but apparently allegations ruin lives, teams and nations have to do better

[𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @_DIGB]

He absolutely should not be playing at the World Cup

This is such a dumb unforced error that is now a larger metaphor for an administration that continues to make their own problems worse

Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi will stand trial for rape, French prosecutors have confirmed.

A woman accused the Paris St-Germain defender of raping her at his home in the French capital in 2023, when she was aged 24.

Zohran Mamdani spoke at a Rikers Island graduation ceremony honoring 57 incarcerated people who earned their high school diplomas.

One graduate, Elijah Smith, said he didn’t expect the mayor to show up, but his presence meant something: “It helped. Someone cares about the incarcerated individuals in this jail.”

Sometimes dignity starts with simply showing up.

Men like @jimmyfallon are why we live in a deep rape culture. Rape is not a deal breaker for them. Disgusting. Fuck Jimmy Fallon.

There has been rightful focus on the US for this, but the Toronto Star reports that 73% of Ghanaian fan tourist visa requests to come to the World Cup have been denied by Canada.

If you paused, if you hesitated, 160 schoolgirls might still be alive.

I guess society at large has simply decided sex crimes are no big deal. Like shoplifting a candy bar

“Oh Balogun is just playing for the U.S. because he couldn’t make the England squad”…Folks, that is the entire promise of our nation.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

And then we’ll beat your ass with them.

A person that becomes a trillionaire should be shamed and ostracized for hoarding massive amounts of wealth. That kind of behavior isn’t admirable but rather greedy and sociopathic.

[The Pink King @DayalSami]

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

The world’s first trillionaire made a pedophile rapist the president of the United States and then personally made sure starving children couldn’t get food and medicine, with 14 million deaths projected from his actions alone. He’s possibly the most evil person in history.
