Karma 🙌

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: SWEET KARMA! Democrat Scott Colom, who is about to win the Mississippi Senate seat, only ran after his MAGA opponent stopped him from obtaining a lifetime federal judge position!

This is one of the most glorious backfires in American history...

Back in November of 2022, President Biden nominated Colom to the federal district court in northern Mississippi. He received support from the state's senior senator, Republican Roger Wicker.

But Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who Colom is now leading by 1,764 in the vote count from Tuesday, refused to support the nomination. In fact, she blocked the Senate from even considering him by withholding her blue slip, an old Senate custom that lets one home-state senator veto a judge.

She defended her indefensible move by insisting that he couldn't be trusted with such power because of past support for transgender rights. In reality, she was just pandering to the racist MAGA base by blocking a Black Democrat.

But if she hadn't blocked him, Colom would be a judge right now. Instead, he's poised to take Hyde-Smith's seat, flipping a seat that a Democrat hasn't been able to win since 1972 in a state that handed Trump 61% of its vote in 2024.

While the race has not yet been called, if Colom maintains this lead, as he seems likely to do, the seat is his.

Please ❤️ and share if you can't wait to see Colom in the Senate!

Proud Aussie here…..”ditto”!!

[Bonnie Boden @designergirla]

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.

"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

I thought I was reading about North Korea or Iran, but no, this is Hegseth’s Pentagon.

A publicly live streamed firing squad? After the Christa Pike debacle?

Shame on the US Supreme Court - as someone who lives outside the US, I don’t understand how Americans claim to be the defenders of liberty, democracy, freedom & justice. What a load of rubbish. You were once a beacon, now, your corrupt Supreme Court is destroying this

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

A Ruling That Can Only Be Described as Pure Evil

On Tuesday, in an unsigned emergency order that reads like a permission slip for suffering, the far-right Roberts Supreme Court cleared the way for third-country deportations. Immigrants can now be dumped in countries they have never lived in — places the U.S. itself has accused of torture and abuse — without a real chance to object.

The order lets the sadistic authoritarian Trump administration restart its Nazi-inspired rapid-removal machine: people shipped to Liberia, Equatorial Guinea, the Central African Republic, and other dumping grounds, often with little notice and no meaningful hearing. The destination is not their home. The risk is persecution, torture, and death. The Court did not bother to explain itself. The three liberal justices dissented.

This is not a technical stay. It is a green light for a policy whose whole design is to terrorize people by sending them somewhere worse than the place they fled. If cruelty were not the point, they would not need the midnight order.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

This is fucking evil.

[Fatima | فاطمہ @fatimazahiid]

yes the Cornell rape incident is horrible, but a more overlooked sinister detail is that they advertised it in a group chat and NONE of the guys reported it or stopped them. Men enable men.

[Motivaciones Fútbol @MotivacionesF]

🤝❤️ ¡ENTENDIERON TODO!

Tras el pitazo final del partido por el tercer lugar entre Inglaterra y Francia, ocurrió una de las imágenes más emotivas de este Mundial.

Lejos de los festejos y la frustración, jugadores de ambas selecciones se reunieron en el centro del campo para abrazarse y rezar juntos, recordando que hay cosas mucho más grandes que el resultado de un partido.

Bukayo Saka, Marc Guéhi y Trevoh Chalobah, recién coronados con la medalla de bronce, caminaron directamente hacia sus amigos franceses Castello Lukeba, Dayot Upamecano y Jean-Philippe Mateta para compartir ese momento de unión.

🥹 En un deporte donde la rivalidad suele ocupar todos los focos, ellos dejaron el mensaje más valioso de esta Copa del Mundo: el respeto, la amistad y la hermandad siempre estarán por encima del marcador.

👏 Aquí no hay colores. Aquí todo el mundo se pone de pie.

Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?

[Craig Foster @Craig_Foster]

This is quite rare.

The Vice-President of the US Soccer Federation has broken ranks with the organisation itself, and most FIFA members, to make critical comments.

Too many others are silent.

‘All of Fifa’s members have a duty to protect the integrity of the sport and save Fifa from itself, even at the risk of retaliation.

In the short term, I hope federations around the world find the courage to oppose Infantino’s vision for the sport; in the long term, I urge them to pursue structural governance reforms that take power away from the role of the Fifa president and shift it toward the Council, the Congress, and the Secretary General, so that no single individual can ever act unilaterally to soccer’s detriment again.

Perhaps then the greatest legacy of this World Cup will be that it spurred us to speak up for and defend the values that make soccer the people’s game.’

Hope is scarce. As scarce as critical voices from inside the game.

Football now has no independent ideals that it promotes and defends, it simply serves the latest power broker of the day.

Football believes in nothing.

And is open to anything.

[KALYJAY @gyaigyimii]

When it comes to Messi vs. Ronaldo conversations, you don’t need to make logical arguments. Just stick to banter or tweet your opinion and move on, because the moment you try to have a logical conversation using facts, figures, and context, most Messi fans will eventually resort to insulting you.

You might prefer Messi because he has more league titles than Ronaldo. I prefer Ronaldo because he has won league titles in England, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.

You might prefer Messi because he has won the most Golden Boots in history. I prefer Ronaldo because he is the highest goalscorer in football history. He has also scored at least 100 goals for every club he has played for.

You might prefer Messi because he won the World Cup. I prefer Ronaldo because he won five Champions League titles with two different clubs. You need seven games to win a World Cup; you need 13 to win the Champions League. He also won it three times in a row.

You prefer the player with eight Ballon d’Or awards an award voted for by around 100 journalists worldwide. I prefer the player who won five Ballon d’Ors despite not being the media favourite.

You see? It’s all about context. It’s based on preference. You prefer a playmaker; I prefer a goalscorer who decides games.

A lot of Messi fans will insult you simply because Ronaldo is your GOAT. To save yourself the endless back and forth, either stick to bantering with them or tweet your opinion and move on. They’re not ready to see the debate from the angle some of us see it, and that’s fine.

Viva Ronaldo. 🐐

More women have been murdered since 2024 by men than all Australians killed by terrorism globally in the past 100 years. Yet there are no Royal Commission’s for women still. No emergency task forces. No addresses to the nation. No days of mourning

[WORLD POWER DESK @WorldPowerDesk]

It seems my tweet has upset many Argentinians.

Gentlemen, if it's in FIFA's interest for Argentina to qualify so they can continue profiting from marketing, and for them to win so the Argentine Football Association can receive more prize money, which FIFA then invests in shell companies to collect its share, that's not my fault.

And if journalists expose these things, that's not my fault either.

And if Infantino appears in photos beaming with joy when Messi scores, and states in interviews that he's worried when Argentina struggles, and awards him Ballon d'Or trophies while he's playing in the MLS, and if Bezarp is told the day before a match who should receive the award, that's not my fault either.

And if there are calls in Europe to investigate Infantino for corruption, that's not my fault either.

And if the whole world (except for Argentinians and Barcelona fans) feels that the last World Cup was a robbery, that's not my fault either.

If you think that the 39-year-old Messi in the MLS is better than the Messi of his prime with Barcelona, ​​who didn't win a single title and even "retired" from his national team (which, by the way, was far superior to him), then all is well. Rejoice and celebrate! Lionel Messi and Argentina are the worst thing that has ever happened to football.

They disgust me 🤮🤮🤮🤮. This isn't a campaign against Messi or Argentina.

People are simply demanding a fair, exciting, and surprising World Cup...

And they've been denied that.

People are fed up.
