You’re looking at the “OG” Jamaican women’s footballer, Beverly Ranger, who played in Germany in the 1970s. She made history in April 1975, scoring this goal for Bonner SC and becoming the first Black woman, and only the second woman, to win ARD Sportchau’s Goal of the Month.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

/7 Here, the Trump Administration’s lies about the murder victim did not impact her property rights because the Trump Administration had already murdered her.

In short, our federal government can usually kill, kidnap, abuse, and lie about us with impunity.
