Women athletes don't have to do anything but be athletes
And objects of adoration.

On #MeganRapinoe: "An essential rebel: a defiant woman refusing to play by the antiquated be-cute-and-courteous rules that make many men feel better about female athletes." washingtonpost.com/sports/dcunite…

Pretty furioius to see @Sephora re-cut their "We belong to something beautiful" ad to excise @aaronphilipxo, a black trans #disabled model who was in the original ad in the opening sequence.
Just saw the recut @maddow on @MSNBC.

This is the fab Philip.

1/
Here's the original, with @aaronphilipxo in the opening. So you can see what was cut. And ask @Sephora why.

.@aaronphilipxo was just featured on the cover of @papermagazine.
June 2019 by Myles Loftin, and interviewed by Naomi Campbell.

Teenager Accused of Rape Deserves Leniency Because He’s From a ‘Good Family,’ Judge Says nyti.ms/2KW4rMi
THIS:
The boy filmed himself penetrating her from behind, her torso exposed, her head hanging down, prosecutors said. He later shared the cellphone video among friends, investigators said, and sent a text that said, “When your first time having sex was rape.”
Maybe stop raising your sons to be rapists.

In the past hour we've hear from @RepJudyChu on @OutFrontCNN and @RepRashida on @allinwithchris talking about the @DHSgov IG report and their own experience at the facilities at our border. The numbers Tlaib has cited are stunning.
Tlaib says processing asylum claims and closing the detention centers is essential. She also speaks to the private profit influence on the larger centers.
It's the separation policy that is fueling this overflow of people in a CBP facility meant to be held in no longer than days.
.@aurabogado, who has been covering these issue for YEARS, highlights the actual details. She says people like her from immigrant communities need to be heard. She also says this happened in the Obama Admin as well--and only now people are paying attention.

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

Even if Alex Acosta were not a Trump cabinet official right now, this federal court ruling about his behavior in the Jeffrey Epstein case would/should put Acosta in headlines across the country.

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald @jkbjournalist is the one who broke this open. Her story is the best one you'll see today summing up what has happened:

miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…
For the Epstein case itself, this is a breakthrough because for the first time, a court is confirming Epstein's serial abuse of multiple minor girls (a federal crime) in Florida, elsewhere in the US, and abroad.
