Especially women. We can wake up one day & all our rights will be taken away on a whim but never for men. The Afghan women went to bed one night & woke up the next day as slaves in their own homes & it haunts me everyday.
Watching the world lose its mind over the Knicks and the World Cup while Palestine is being destroyed and genocided in real time honestly infuriates me.
And before anyone says “sports bring people together,” I know. That's exactly the point. We clearly know how to care. We clearly know how to show up. We clearly know how to unite when we want to. So why is it easier for millions of people to memorize stats, argue over games, and spend hours watching a match than it is to speak up when human beings are being genocided in plain sight?
This feels like the Hunger Games, wallah. The privileged get to sit comfortably, drink a coke, eat a hotdog, cheer, celebrate, and move on, while other people in Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Congo, Iran and more are searching for food, living in tents that flood, and fighting for their peoples liberation.
- Ad breaks disguised as hydration breaks.
- Players waiting for music to stop to restart match.
- Atrocious/suspicious officiating.
- Visa’s preventing fans entry into the US.
- Overpriced tickets/travel.
- Not allowing interviews in Spanish.
An embarrassment of a World Cup.
🚨| Lando Norris: "I can't imagine Monza if Lewis (Hamilton) wins. It'll be crazy. It's great. I'm a fan of racing. So I think it's great to see this kind of thing and experience it. So i really hope he can win races again."

probably because islamophobia ain't just "I hate islam" but a tool used by the west to enable genocide and systemic discrimination against brown people labelling them as "savages". Israel did a survey that proved that islamophobia was the best way to buy consent for the genocide
This is why they want you to forget about the Epstein files. There are dozens of girls just like her who were taken and sold into human trafficking. They’re probably not even alive anymore. What happened to these girls is beyond comprehension, and the people responsible are getting away with it.
