“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

And at the watch party you will ask the organizer if he's from Cape Verde. He will say yes, from Praia. And you'll say oh! I lived there for two years. I was a teacher. And he will ask, "What's your name?" You will tell him and he will say,
"You were my teacher."
CABO VERDE
11:43 AM • 6/25/26 • 92K ViewsJill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
And across 30+ years and 6,000 miles you will hug a now man who tried to find you and remembered the songs you taught him and his classmates and he will apologize for how badly behaved they all were. And you will laugh and try not to cry and gape in wonder at at this crazy world.

You will remember how much you love the World Cup. And what the Peace Corps meant to you. What those students, 40 to a class with no glass on the windows, meant to you.

Ivan, the grown man with a touch of grey in his beard, will tell you later he has struggled to describe what it meant to him to meet again - that he shared our photo with classmates.
And when he returns from watching the Cabo Verde game, we will try to find the words together.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h And then you read that the US
House of Representatives will vote a day before that game on an amendment to eliminate the Peace Corps, which costs 1/6 the price of the Tomahawk missiles the US used in the war on Iran.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker •20h And you wonder: How much is a magical world worth?

Two things to know once gates open:

1) We will be holding silence for the first two minutes of the match in memory of the lives ended or destroyed by the federal government in Minnesota this year.

2) Following the silence, we're going to do a modified version of Bella Ciao:

In Minnesota,
We raise our voices,
For us all, for us all, for us all, all, all

Your ears are ringing
For we are singing
For our friends and neighbors too

Screenshot of a post on X by FactPost (@factpostnews) quoting a January 6 participant saying: “You can't gaslight me. I was there… I saw the officers being pepper sprayed… So don’t be telling me it wasn’t violent.” Below is a C-SPAN video still showing a woman wearing a dark cap and glasses speaking at a hearing or event, with a lower-third identifying her as “PAMELA HEMPHILL,” and a caption noting she refused President Trump’s pardon. The bottom includes “5th Anniversary of Jan. 6 Attack” and a 0:07 timestamp.

Today, after the Coast Guard lifted a ban on swastikas and nooses as symbols of hate, and after President Trump called for the execution of members of Congress, it is time for every American to decide. Who will you be? Here is Burt Lancaster as Nazi era judge Ernst Janning in Judgment at Nuremberg.

Never forget.
Title reads: "It Didn't Start with Gas Chambers." Text below reads: "It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and controlling the opposition. One party dividing citizens into "us" vs "them" and calling on their supporters to harrass "them". Below it states: "It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen." Beneath the text is a picture of Nazi Germany.
