This is Josimar Dias, better known as Vozinha.
He is 40 years old.
He keeps goal for Cabo Verde, population roughly 530,000.
He kept World Cup favorite Spain scoreless through the first half.
The disgusting remark about Mrs. Obama last night was not an aberration.
For many years, the rightwing has been pushing a deeply racist conspiracy theory that she’s a trans woman, which is, of course, drawn from a dehumanizing and thoroughly absurd-on-its-face trope that Black women can’t be feminine.
This particular slander against Mrs. Obama has been going on for many years, and watching some quarters of conservative media pretend to be offended by the same remark that they’ve enabled in online spaces all this time strikes me as pretty goddamn pathetic and dishonorable.
But it’s not surprising. I would expect nothing different from Trump and his most ardent supporters.
Any woman they don’t like—let alone hate—particularly Black women, aren’t “real women.”
This is what they do. It’s not accidental.
Don’t let them claim otherwise.
#MLB is about to create an Amazon HQ2-style competition for two new franchises. But as #sports franchise owners get richer, #cities are getting poorer. Can cities still afford the shakedown?

This sentiment on @jaketapper is what I wrote about in my first newsletter Early Warning. “Americans are providing counter programming” to an image of America that hasn’t been welcoming to the world.

@HoustonChron magachuds like ants at a picnic in these comments because they'd go into ontological shock if they accept that the US is weaker after this shitshow of a war, and Trump capitulated in order to reopen the Strait.
While Trump and Hegseth put on testosterone-soaked shows, their war in Iran left the United States weaker, writes the Houston Chronicle editorial board. https://t.co/iZW7k6j1I3
Embarrassing moment for Trump, who is the only one completely oblivious to a group photo being taken. An unintentionally perfect snapshot of his presidency.
.@GoldenKnights, thank you for an incredible season. You’ve made Las Vegas proud for getting this far. Excited to have the team back on the ice in the fall! #ForgedInGold
@SurvivorPenner They can't -- they just cheered it on because the likely pedophile wanted it (and you can damn well bet *their precious children* weren't going to enlist for that debacle).
MAGA - Can you please explain the positives of Trump’s war on Iran? It seems an abject failure to me. A senseless act that has only caused harm, distress and humiliation. No doubt you see it differently. I would honestly appreciate some objective insights.
