@JoserNunez91 Replying to your penultimate hashtag: it is not absurd to wish for the success of a team while caring for its players, and therefore hope a player called to represent a country actively committing genocide refuses

@SEPTAPHILLY I love you

Palestinian footballer Hamada Saleh, top scorer for Al-Ahly Gaza, put his boots up for sale to feed his family.

“Sadly, this is all that remains of my football memories… for sale.”

FIFA has completely abandoned its responsibility to protect its players.

@BigMeanInternet Thank you!

@BigMeanInternet Hi! Do you have a photo of the Goya drawing you reference on p203 of WL?

The Palestinian Football Association has confirmed the killing of young Al-Sadaqa Club player, Zuheir Al-Hajj Ahmad, in a recent Israeli strike on Gaza.

With his death, the number of Palestinian footballers killed since October 2023 now exceeds 440.

For @JewishCurrents, I audited hundreds of claims of “Hinduphobia” made by the Hindu American Foundation and found that the organization routinely misclassifies anti-Asian racism, anti-Muslim violence, and criticism of Hindu nationalism as anti-Hindu hate. #Thread

DREAMING DEMANDS SOLIDARITY

It felt so good to canvass in Astoria today. Speaking to Bangladeshi residents, especially women outside the park, and punctuating w Bangla lit (a surprise for those who hadn’t seen it before) was incredibly satisfying. We can have this if we want to

Zohran's district (AD 37) in Astoria and Long Island City leads Queens with 10,784 votes and its not close.

The next highest district is AD 37 at 7,425 votes is LIC/Sunnyside/Ridgewood

🥉 is AD 34 (Steinway and Jackson Heights) is at 5,396 votes

[pooja @ajoopooj]

Between the Jackson Heights arm-in-arm march and this cross-island yatra, Mamdani is obviously committed to the South Asian political parade. I love that for him (& us)

announcing you’re running for mayor and walking the length of manhattan on the gorgeous summer friday night longest day of the year is some genius ed koch fiorello laguardia shit

We cannot let the despair of our enemies’ relentlessness, resources, and hollow halls of power impede what we do have control over: how we fight, resist, and build.

@yung_benihana @JoserNunez91 This isn’t about singular feelings. It’s about a stand out player who represents Philly “locally” and is called “up” to represent Israel in the most popular and political sport in the world
