A cliché in World War II movies: the U-boat or Japanese submarine sinks a ship, and then gleefully machine guns the helpless survivors in the water.
The scenes reflect historical war crimes… and remind you who the villains are.
Pete Hegseth has made murdering survivors official US policy.

And the Jesse Helms Foundation. Jesse Helms was an unabashed racist who famously used a filibuster to try and block the Senate from making MLK Day a federal holiday and said “There’s no joy in Mudville tonight” after defeating his (black) opponent to get re-elected to the US Senate.
Reminder that in high school, Tucker Carlson listed himself as a member of the "Dan White Society," named after the man who shot and killed Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official.

Good lord, Jillian.
It’s a mix of things though, isn’t it? Deepest talent pool in the world, growth of the NWSL, a coach who doesn’t punish players for playing outside of the NWSL, rewarding form rather than only playing favourites (generally speaking) + knowing there are overhauls needed.

And Kate Wiesner is player #285 to earn a s USWNT cap!
Hayes' first-cap total is 27 players in 29 games (since June 2024). This would not be possible without growth of the NWSL.
1st caps by coach (most recent):
Kilgore 6 (2023-24)
Andonovski 18 (2019-23)
Ellis 30 (2014-19)
Sermanni 12 (2013-14)

Even as the global domestic landscape has shifted, players still just bloody love playing in Sweden
There was questioning and speculation around Australian media this week as to whether players like Amy Sayer and Remy Siemsen could return to the #ALW ahead of the Asian Cup, but Sayer says the goal is to stay in Europe.

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.
