The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Héctor Bellerín @HectorBellerin has once again used his voice for Palestine, reminding us football can be a powerful platform to send positive messages.
He also pointed to FIFA’s double standards. Football stood with Ukraine, but failed to do the same for Palestine.
Congress passed a bipartisan bill to make it easier to own a home.
The President is refusing to sign it.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about lowering costs for you.
Victor Wembanyama takes a stand against ICE violence:
Every day I wake up and see the news, and I'm horrified. It's crazy that some people make it seem like the murder of civilians is acceptable.
Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.
Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

Thank you so very much.
Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated on this day in 1983.
He became a target of right-wing violence for his courageous struggle against poverty and US-backed right-wing repression.
