and "wokeness" of the need to fight the inequality inherent in the white, male supremacy that the country was founded on.

Her parents did a great job instilling all of that in her as they raised her. She floors me every time I hear her. She'd do well in politics if she stepped into that arena.

I love Megan Rapinoe. She is a national treasure in the very real sense of that term.

May I please vote for her? For something? I mean, when she's done with football...
