I really don’t enjoy matches that are just goal galore against an underdog. There is no joy or beauty or anything to be gained #USATHA #FIFAWWC
That was a horrible display - absolutely no reason for players of such stature in #USWNT to be acting like that over 9th, 10th, 11th goal. And I say that as a feminist who says YES YOU DESERVE ATTENTION YES BE BOLD AND HAVE EGO. Come on. That was awful. #USATHA #FIFAWWC
And thing is the #USWNT is fighting for equal pay & resources with their country’s men’s team. And for inequalities at play there, same & more exist with #THA vs #USA. If US women’s team are denied equal pay & resources, imagine the obstacles that Thai women’s team fave #FIFAWWC

Doctors believe paramilitaries carried out more than 70 rapes during an attack on a protest camp in #Khartoum a week ago.
More than 100 people were killed & as many as 700 injured in the attack last Monday on a sit-in and clashes afterwards. theguardian.com/world/2019/jun… #SudanUprising
“Harrowing details of rapes by the paramilitaries from the Rapid Support Forces have emerged in recent days despite restrictions on communications in #Sudan, but the extent of the sexual violence has remained unknown.” #SudanUprising
“One doctor with access to data compiled by the central committee of doctors, a pro-reform group, said hospitals in #Khartoum had recorded more than 70 cases of rape in the attack and its immediate aftermath.” #SudanUprising

Congratulations, #Botswana!

“The state cannot be sheriff in people’s bedrooms.” Botswana decriminalises same-sex relations in historic judgment mg.co.za/article/2019-0… #LGBTQ #Pride
“Sexual orientation is innate to human beings and is not a fashion statement,” the court stated. “Homosexuality is not unAfrican, but it is one other way Africans identify but have been repressed for many years.” #Botswana #LGBTQ
From @hrw Human Rights Watch report This Alien Legacy — The Origins of “Sodomy” Laws in British Colonialism: many of the countries that outlaw same-sex relations do so “because they once were British colonies” #Botswana #LGBTQ

@jnbptst Absolutely! And why the AU is giving them another week, makes no sense at all at this critical point in time?! Especially when they have already begun to just compound & consolidate their brutal intransigence within less than an hour after the Ethiopian PM left Khartoum from...
@jnbptst ...meeting with them. What exactly did @PMEthiopia achieve? Did he go to only then fly back with his very own Ethiopians who were being held in Sudanese jails? Was it a mere “political exercise” for his very own domestic population’s consumption back in Addis & Ethiopia at...
@jnbptst @PMEthiopia ...large? Hemedti has everything to lose & everything to gain; & he will not stop now without direct action being applied upon him. He must NOW be the Primary target of all those who are aspiring to “save Sudan from the brink of total breakdown”. The TMC’s members are only...

US "strongly supports a peaceful and democratic" #Sudan, calls for restraint and civilian participation in the government following military junta replacing unpopular President Bashir, says @StateDeputySPOX.
A big focus for the United States right now is the safety and welfare of its embassy team as well citizens, adds @StateDeputySPOX
Sudanese should have a civilian government sooner than the two years that the military says will be the timeline, says @StateDeputySPOX.

1. And now I'm going to tell a story. Another false flag. This time is to force @POTUS not to take the US army out of #Syria.
They already have a lot of experience (8 years) to make chemical attacks to accuse the Syrian government.
OH, and they even have a manual.🧐😲🤨

2. ISIS terrorist? 😲Seriously?🤨 Have they investigated? 🤓And they already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

Preliminary reports say at least six people were killed & 19 injured by the explosion. US official: 4 US army Killed & 3 US army wounded.

3. ISIS took responsability?😲Seriously?🤨Have they investigated?🤓They already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) took responsibility for the attack that reportedly targeted the US-led coalition’s patrol.
