The U.S. Women's Soccer Team won't be in the World Cup finals this year, but even if they were and took the trophy, it wouldn't have been their greatest victory. That happened in 2022 off the playing field. And it will last much longer than any given game.

I said I wasn’t gonna do it, but in the end I gave in. Went to see the Barbie movie. She’s still tall, thin, white, sporting signature long blond hair. But Barbiedom is diverse now.

June is Pride Month, and June 28th is Pride Day, marking the unofficial beginning of  "Gay Liberation" in 1969 with the Stonewall riots in New York.  Since then  the LGBTQ+ movement grown steadily and gained acceptance.  But is rough sledding ahead?

The annual June Father’s day shopping binge is upon us. Stores are touting the latest gizmos, and everybody loves Dad. All except corporate America, that is. Only 23% of U.S. private-sector workers have access to paid family leave in order to care for a new child. The majority of recipients are new mothers – precious few employers give fathers the same benefit.

June 6 marks the anniversary of D-Day, the day in 1944 when Allied forces in World War II invaded France from offshore. It was the largest seaborne invasion in history.
