No MSG watch party outside the Garden during the biggest game of the year because a selfish weirdo chooses to want to make himself the center of attention during a moment where the vibes have been immaculate . Y’all president is really a weirdo.
This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.
The % of Dems who have a positive view of Israel is at 13%—less than the % of Dems who support full abortion bans & prayer in schools. Here I ask why US media keeps insisting support for Israel is “dividing democrats” when—in reality—it’s a fringe position https://t.co/61BRqAQQwo
I still can't believe the Knicks won a Finals game on the road in which they only shot 5 free throws in the second half and they had to use a challenge just to get 3 of them.
I can’t think of a decision more vindicated by history than protesting the pending genocide that everyone with the most basic knowledge of Gaza and Israel knew was coming on Oct 8 2023
Knicks are the third team in NBA Finals history to win first two games of series on road. The 1993 Bulls and 1995 Rockets also did it. Both of those teams won the championship.
These are the four college girls, including one American citizen, the IDF kidnapped in the middle of the night from their homes and threw into their torture dungeons.

Israel has a policy called “administrative detention” that allows them to kidnap Palestinians and imprison them for 6 month increments without any charges whatsoever. These holdings can drag out for years.
Over 3,000 Palestinians were being held on administrative detention in Israeli prisons on October 7. That’s why Hamas took all those Israelis back to Gaza. To exchange for their release.
But do you see how that works? When Israel kidnaps people and holds them for months and years on end, they are simply “prisoners on administrative detention.” But when Hamas does it, they are “hostages.”
Jay Willams says Jalen Brunson is the antithesis of what fanbases think about the NBA right now:
“He’s the antithesis. Well, guys are overpaid, he’s not overpaid. You think about other things teams are tanking, they didn’t tank they built it the right way, they built the right culture around that. Load management, when is he load managing? “Oh I hurt my pinky toe I can’t play.” This dude hurts his knee, he hurts his ankle, he comes back in and he closes a game down the stretch. You tell me this guy at 6’1, 6’2 isn’t the most likable player in the NBA right now, how do you root against a guy like that.”
Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre.
Israel is currently demolishing Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Reading How To Sell A Genocide, the NYT called every major population centre in the Gaza Strip a "Hamas stronghold" at some point.
They actively worked to militarise civilians in Gaza to justify genocide
In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.
Today was the worst night for the Governor of New Jersey & the Attorney General.
They arrested journalists and well known local immigrant justice & social justice advocates which destroys their go to narrative of arresting violent protesters or outside agitators. Free them all.
