I had to stay back in Oregon to watch USC lose rather than go to the NWSL championship and I'm starting to question my choices in life.

👇
Yall - StubHub, VividSests, SeatGeek, et al ARE NOT LEGIT WEBSITES TO BUY WORLD CUP 26 TICKETS. Here’s why:

1. None of these vendors are the official providers of tickets to FIFA World Cup 25. For better (or worse this year), this is FIFAs tournament, thus they sell their tickets to their games.

Read to the end. It’s really not about “saving women’s sports” at all. Riley knows the names of the handful of young trans athletes in the US but I bet she couldn’t tell you how many cases were brought against coaches for abusing young women and girls last year.
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.

But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

There was a point earlier this year when Shaw was on a zoom availability and you could just sense she had lost that lightness that she once had. Ever since arriving at Gotham, she's got it back, and it's just a joy to see.
