Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico

@JonahPlatt This is ridiculous. Biden, Trump, and all of Congress skipped the "discourse step" of listening to protestors and went straight to arresting them and freezing funds. Almost no trustee at any university publicly debated divestment, they just demanded that protests stop.

@CBSNews To accureately capture the discrepancy of the danger on both sides, you would have to make 1000 videos about every Lebanese restaurant owner who has had their life up-ended or restaurant destroyed by Israel. Will CBS make even one?

@BL_Balthaser I overheard a college/high school student talking about this the other day. They seemed to have gone to some private Jewish school in the northern suburbs and, in explaining their thorough knowledge of the Holocaust to their friend, said this tool was a great "primary source."

Norman Finkelstein responds to criticism of his comments on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens:

“How does 'mass deportations now' cohere with compassion for the people in Gaza? That to me is very strange."

🚨 do you understand what happened to your right to protest..

The FBI just invented a new domestic extremism category called "anti-tech violent extremism" - and it doesn't exist in any public document.

WIRED got 1000+ leaked pages proving they're already using it to track AI critics and data center protesters.

What the leak exposed:

- Photographing a data center is now officially "suspicious behavior" in Virginia
- Fusion centers are surveilling town halls where residents complain about water
- 61% of Americans believe AI will destroy more jobs than it creates
- Even Marjorie Taylor Greene snapped: "how dare the peasants complain"

They built a new extremist category for you before they told you it exists.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Mehdi Hasan asked an Israeli lawyer if he was shocked by the NYT's piece on Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian detainees.

His answer? 'Of course not.'

Not because it's false. Because it's old news. Al Jazeera reported it in 2024. He testified about it in 2025. B'Tselem issued reports. Even Israel's own public defender wrote about the torture.

Rape by dogs. Women shackled to metal tables for two days. Men raped three times-after being hospitalized. Children threatened with sexual abuse.

Palestinians have been saying this for years. So what's new? Nothing. Except the New York Times finally published it.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

Wild to think about how if Kristof lived in Gaza or the West Bank, the Israeli military would likely by now have just announced he was aiding terrorism and blown him up with guided missiles, as they’ve done to countless Palestinian journalists over the last three years.

Picasso’s reply when asked for his thoughts on computers in 1964 is more relevant than ever:

[Josh @Jflexbeats1]

@yoxics It is shameful that he says “no politics”immediately after blaming Iran, as if that was apolitical.

[Priya Satia @PriyaSatia]

Instead of worrying that humanities degrees don’t prepare students for jobs in today’s world [product managers finance consultants startups], we should worry that we’ve created a world with such little value for literature, art, philosophy—anything that expresses the human soul

If America is so racist, then how come a wealthy white man has been lavishing me with gifts ever since his company started having cases before the Supreme Court, on which I sit?

This is the difference between China's economy, and Western casino economies.

This is actually, objectively, an amazing ACHIEVEMENT - making housing affordable again in China. It's why its home ownership rate is more than 90%.

But it's presented as "erased all gains"🤔

Same firm that helped the CIA and Chiquita coup Guatemala. If you ever need a little bit of hope, just know that maybe the deep state is losing their touch❤️

[SMB Attorney @SMB_Attorney]

POV: You just paid S&C, one of the three most expensive and high-powered law firms in the world, $3000 per hour to submit AI slop to the court on your behalf.

No one is safe.

You can tell Twitter replies are AI when everything seems amicable in the comments.
