The Knicks haven't been to the NBA Finals since 1999 — when average rent in NY for a one-bedroom was $791/month.
@RaniaKhalek spoke to Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden Friday about NYC's cost-of-living crisis.
Their message for Trump, who's coming Monday to watch the Finals? "F**k you!"
My latest on @AJEnglish about tonight’s Iran strike on Israel:
• Iran did what Lebanon’s own government refused to do: defend Lebanon from Israeli bombs
• The Lebanese government condemns Iran while allying with the Americans who arm and coordinate Israel’s strikes on Beirut
• The anti-Hezbollah camp is using Israeli military force to achieve what they can’t win democratically (Hezbollah is Lebanon’s largest elected parliamentary bloc)
• Tonight we find out if Trump has the political will to actually put a leash on Israel
“He’s a genuine Knicks fan… We should be using sports to create more of a sense of community with people, not less.”

Cuba is attacked not because it’s a failed state or lacks democracy — both lies — but precisely because it’s a state that has been successful at prioritizing its people instead of foreign profit, even under the worst imposed conditions.
