Megan Rapinoe, is today being vilified by the right, not because America didn’t win the women’s World Cup, but because she had the audacity to stand up for women’s rights and equal pay for women in sport. Oh and for being gay.
She helped put women’s soccer on the sporting world map, delivering US soccer victory, time and time again.
Sportsmen and women around the world sometimes come up short, it proves they are human. One woman does not make a team and I’m sure every member of the team is devastated because they are their own worst critics.
Her service to US women’s soccer will remain legendary, and no amount of vile abuse from right wing lunatics using her to deflect from the crimes of defendant Trump, will diminish that.
This is a young team who will continue to deliver for US soccer. Long after criminal defendant Trump is convicted of defrauding the American people.

Today, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead the Muslim funeral prayer for the daughter of Ireland, Sinéad O'Connor aka Shuhada Sadaqat. It is an honor to be part of this occasion, and I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the family for recognising and embracing her Muslim identity. #SineadOConnor #Sinead
Even in death, they fear her. Stay afraid, Has Beens. Your day is done. You have no power anymore. She saw you 30 years ago and the rest of the world is finally catching up. Rest in Power Sinéad O’Connor.
Irrelevant to who though? Not the millions of young girls they’ve inspired. Not the athletes, male and female they’ve inspired to fight for their worth. Not the competitors they’ve thrashed and inspired to believe and improve. Not the majority of real Americans who want Americans to win even if they disagree on social issues. So you may not be wrong, but if they become irrelevant for the reasons you say, it will be to a very small (but loud) group of people who themselves are probably……pretty irrelevant.
This man is the worst. He played 96 caps and scored 9 goals, whereas our queen Crystal Dunn has played 131 caps with 24 goals and in this WC isn’t even playing in her normal position?

why is everyone saying sinead "battled her own demons?"
she was one of very few brave enough to battle real demons: child predators, those who protected them in God's name, homophobia, greed that kills.....
she battled demons, yes- but they were us, not her.
@SeffSaid 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#lostmy17yrOldSonToSuicidein2022.
Been living as undead night creature since. . He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul. We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him
I’m the type who wouldn’t have a problem scrubbing toilets if I needed money. Matter of pride. 100% financially independent since 1985. Will always stay that way. In fact I quite enjoy scrubbing toilets 😎
The weirdest shit just happened. I'm taking my dog out for a walk with some friends and I see this weird flash of light in the sky. I live in a suburb of Boston so its not lightning and there was no bang of any kind so its not an explosion. Did anyone experience anything similar
