The policies of President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico have led to a 50% reduction in the homicide rate. www.dw.com/en/mexico-pr...
dw.com
After 2 years in office, how has Claudia Sheinbaum changed Mexico?
Two years after taking office as Mexico's first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum can take credit for a lower homicide rate and improved social benefits. But violence and corruption persist.

I have been sleeping almost all day, every day. I discovered that I have not been sleeping enough. If it were possible to write all my papers in my sleep, when I get back into grad school, I would do that.

I think perhaps the naming style of "Atlanta City FC" was borrowed from Manchester City. In Manchester, they also have United, so calling one team City is a distinguisher. If there's enough public pressure, there might be a change. I like the name Atlanta Phoenix 'cause it's right in the logo.

Honestly, I’m surprised and glad it slipped through the maga censors. “Liberty over tyranny” is considered an anti-trump protest slogan nowadays. Same with “E Pluribus Unum” — “Out of Many, ONE.”

The post about the r*pes in the Congo came to me from an Instagram account called The Real Ntumba. It's worth it to subscribe to her. She tells the truth. Unpleasant truths, but it's what we need to hear. #mysisterskeeper

This is a very difficult topic to talk about, but it has to be done. In the Congo, in the refugee camps there, women are being r**ed. Often these girls are underage. They even get killed. Yes, it's disgusting. I am talking about this so more will know. #mysisterskeeper Women's lives matter.

Of course this now means Angel City in discourse but people forget 1. Angel City FC was a placeholder until fans made it clear it’s the name they wanted. 2. It works because LA is also widely known as the City of Angels. Atlanta City is lifeless in one of the most lively areas in the country.

New trend in NWSL seems to be overpaying (imho) millions for a team, not having a stadium or training center ready, and not researching acronyms/initialisms. Thus BLFC crossover with furries, and now a second ACFC. If I were dropping millions, I’d be researching my team names. But that’s just me.

A photo of the crest for the new NWSL team Atlanta City FC. It is a combination of light orange, red, and white colors. There's a phoenix in the middle with wings that look like flames and the letter A holds up the neck of the bird with the legs from the a bowing out into the wings as well. The top of the crest says Atlanta, the bottom of the crest says City FC

Borrowing Wiki graphic to save time: #NWSL launched with mostly "nickname" nomenclature in 2013. I think we will still see that in some form (Summit/Legacy) but literally all but one launch/rebrand the last 5 years has been "FC". Don't think that's changing. Over to you, Columbus.

If you want to go down a rabbit hole on how early #NWSL teams—and the league itself—got their names and logos, I did a series on it years ago on @equalizersoccer.bsky.social. Start with the Seattle Reign story. I promise you the NWSL logo silhouette is not who you think it is.

1. Name is a bummer... it's not Bos Nation, but it is so boring.... a) Atlanta City as opposed to what? Atlanta County? Atlanta Airport? b) Teams need to stop using FC unless they are actual community football clubs. In this essay, I will.... c) We already have an ACFC so that'll be fun!

The ACFC acronym matches Angel City FC, already an #NWSL team, but Atlanta won't use it. They will use ATL CTY for short. I assume "ATL" would be their TV code (I asked but that is not decided; Angel City uses "LA" anyway). Angel City is ACFC: "They own that equity."
