Tenho fé, que no futuro, vão olhar com carinho para essa Copa e contar uma triste história de como as principais estrelas e seleções do mundo, se calarem diante do racismo e da xenofobia dos Estados Unidos e como a FIFA foi mais do que subserviente com tudo isso. Foi cúmplice.

Vale Richard 🕊️ So sad to hear this. Gone too early. Condolences to his family and colleagues 💐

[Professor Georgina Long AO (Bluesky @gvlongphdmd) @ProfGLongMIA]

Vale Richard.

I am deeply saddened to lose such a cherished colleague. Richard was a truly extraordinary pathologist - the 'pathologists' pathologist' - who also made generous time for clinicians navigating complex diagnostic cases, understanding that an accurate tissue diagnosis was critical to patient care. His knowledge was vast, his skill exceptional, with an unparalleled eye for accurate tissue diagnoses, and the precision to apply decades of experience where it mattered most.

He shared his expertise widely: through consultation on external specimens, through diagnostic and classification frameworks now used worldwide, and as a devoted teacher and mentor. Richard has left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of working alongside him. 

My thoughts are with Richard's family during this difficult time, particularly his wife Katie and children Emily, Matthew, and Lucy.

FIFA had enough time to move this tournament from USA! This fool is compromised and is to blame for the mess! This will be the Worst World Cup ever!!

This punk kid was kicking the back of the seat in front of until the person had enough.

The kid got a face full of his own knee.

Was the person in the seat justified?

[Ros Knottenbeld @rosknottenbeld]

@FIFAcom & Infantino greedy and corrupt. @FIFAWorldCup boycott US.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

We all knew these situations were going to happen, and so did FIFA. Yet they still allowed the World Cup to go ahead in the U.S. They are not receiving anywhere near the level of scrutiny they should.

We’ll see you again playing your best tennis and winning🙌💜

Maja Chwalinska after losing to Mirra Andreeva in Roland Garros final

“I’d like to thank all of you guys who came today. Not only today but these 3 weeks. Thank you for supporting me. I really felt your love. I’m very grateful. I wish you could see a better match today, but Mirra was just too good for me so I guess it’s her fault. 😂 I tried my best I’m sorry”

“Thank you so much. Paris will stay forever in my heart.” ❤️

Israel just assassinated Ali in South Lebanon.

Not a fighter. Not armed.

Ali was a nurse.

They hunted him down with a drone, and executed him as he made his way to work at Hiram hospital in Tyre.

Israel isn’t targeting combatants.

It’s targeting the people who save lives.

Extraordinary👏 Good luck Maja 🍀 You’re already a winner👍 Hope you win the Final 🙌🏆🥇

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

İtalya'nın 75'ten fazla kentinde, İsrail'in tamamen boykot edilmesi ve tüm bağların koparılması talebiyle ülke çapında genel grev düzenlendi.

▪️İtalya, Başbakanı Meloni'nin Filistin Devleti'ni tanımayı reddetmesinin ardından Filistin destekçisi kalabalıklar sokaklara indi.

▪️Milano, Napoli, Floransa ve Torino gibi büyük şehirlerin sokakları milyonlarca protestocuyla doldu.

▪️Ülkede ulaşım, eğitim, lojistik ve diğer sektörleri etkileyen ve çok sayıda işçi sendikasının katıldığı genel grev nedeniyle 24 saat boyunca felç oldu.

▪️Filistin yanlısı liman işçileri, İsrail'e silah gönderilmesini engellemek için önemli limanlara erişimi engelleyerek birçok bölgede lojistiğin durmasına yol açtı.

▪️Milano'da ise polisin merkez istasyon yakınlarında göstericilerle çatışması ve kalabalığı kontrol altına almak için göz yaşartıcı gaz kullanması sonucu sokaklarda kaos yaşandı.

Protestocular şunları talep etti:
1) Filistin Devleti'nin tanınması.
2) İsrail'e silah satışlarının durdurulması.
3) Netanyahu hükümetine yaptırımlar.
4) Gazze'deki soykırımın sona ermesi.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden SHREDS the media's double standard toward the Trump family in one devastating post — and EVERY word is documented.

Hunter Biden just posted something on X that cuts right to the heart of America's broken media landscape — and it's IMPOSSIBLE to argue with.

"So let me get this straight," he wrote. "Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom," referring to the comments the CNN anchor has made about disbelieving some of the claims in Jill Biden’s latest memoir.

"Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed. It BARELY registers on mainstream media.

"Don Jr. married the daughter of Epstein's banker." Also TRUE. While Epstein survivors read their FBI abuse reports aloud outside the Justice Department, Pam Bondi refused to answer a even a SINGLE question about Trump and the Epstein files, and DOJ lawyers intervened to make sure she didn't.

"A startup that Donald Jr. fund backs just got a record $620 million Pentagon loan." FACTCHECK: ALSO TRUE. While Trump's own financial disclosures show him trading stock in companies his administration then hands billion-dollar contracts to, Don Jr.'s SHADY investment connections to Pentagon contractors receive almost NO scrutiny from mainstream media.

"Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted." Also TRUE, but that story got almost NO coverage.

And then Hunter Biden delivered the punchline that lands like a sledgehammer: "And I know: 'But what about your paintings, Hunter?'"

HUNTER IS 100% RIGHT: His art sales, laptop, and legal troubles consumed years of breathless media coverage. The Trump children's CORRUPT overseas business deals, foreign investments, Pentagon contracts, and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's associates a free pass.

And while Jake Tapper attacks Jill Biden is being attacked for a book, Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands for a $4 billion resort while his father-in-law runs foreign policy, while raising BILLIONS from shady deals with foreign governments.

There is simply NO comparison!

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.
