Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely

ICE shoots Houston man in stomach during traffic stop—he died 7 hours later.

Family was never notified he was taken to hospital for hours—denied a chance to say goodbye.

Stepdaughter only found out by social media—seeing video of her father screaming in pain after being shot.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was pulled over while driving his van at 6:50am—and pronounced dead at approximately 3:00pm.

ICE agents claim he "ignored verbal commands" and then tried to "weaponize his vehicle."

No eyewitness testimony or video has been provided to prove the agents' claims.

Incident occurred near Canal Street and Wayside Drive in Houston, Texas.

Immigrants. Then trans people. Then critical race theory. Now communists. He rolls out a fresh boogeyman for every rally because he has never once had a policy. Same damn con, different mask.

This is insane. I don’t care what anyone says. 🤣

For more than 60 years, the federal government has relied on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to enforce laws against workplace discrimination. But the Justice Department is now challenging a legal framework that has underpinned that work for decades.

@GeoffRBennett has more.

Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir, called Pope Leo “a Chinese communist agent” for writing that AI must be used to “truly benefit the common good, and is not just used to accumulate wealth and power in the hands of a few.”

Who do you trust? Pope Leo or Mr. Thiel?

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

I remember when I was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

The US is getting ready to spend a billion dollars to get rid of screwworms because Doge canceled the $300 million dollar contract to control them. Doge should pay the full amount with penalities not us taxpayers.

Nellis: If Scott Jennings and Thune and everybody else can have a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60 sec proof of life video to show us that he's okay. I think they know the deadline for a special election is August 3rd. If he's not able to do his job, he should resign right now. They should have a special election

Once you realize the PayPal Mafia is actually trying to regrow the apartheid system in America, it’s easier to see how we got here.

The National Education Policy Act of 1967 officially made South Africa “Christian National.”

It wasn’t about God; it was about white domination.

The USA having as their most prominent pundit someone who obviously loves capitalism way more than they love football is a big explanation of why they suck so bad at it

aaaaaaaaand THAT attitude from the "old guard" of US soccer is why the round of 16 is our ceiling

"who's gonna pay for all this free soccer?" is about the dumbest response to all this that I've seen... not shocked it comes from Alexi Lalas

[Daniel Kunka @unikunka]

This line of thought is the most damaging mindset in American life.

Just because people can make money from a model doesn’t make that model good! It’s why we have the most expensive healthcare system in the world. It’s why kids take out crushing loans for college.
