Six weeks ago, Chuck Schumer, Dan Goldman, Jerry Nadler, Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, Vanessa Gibson, and Mark Levine all marched in the Israel Day Parade alongside this monster.

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Earth’s nemesis, Thanos. While we were often on opposing sides of humanity, for example I thought we shouldn’t arbitrarily eliminate half the population, I respected his commitment to fitness and great taste in jewelry.

I feel like I’m going insane; no Italian has actually lived in Little Italy since 1996, its just a bunch of restaurants named “Mama’s Caffè Italiano” that are owned by Berkshire Hathaway

The degree to which some Americans take pride in never, ever doing something for someone else’s benefit, astonishes me every day.

[Dream 🇪🇸 @StefanskiRuined]

asked the USMNT to do anything like this and they called me socialist scum and said “trust in the college system”

[MK 🇫🇷 @mkliebmann]

Cristiano Ronaldo begged for hamburgers outside McDonalds. He’d never turn pro in America

Messi’s parents were factory workers. He’d never turn pro in America

Lalas went to boarding school. Failed to get into college until his dad made a call to Rutgers. He went pro in America

I lived in Nantes, France, for five years. In a city of just 300K people, there are more than a dozen first-rate amateur soccer clubs, each kid paying €200 a year for everything. Each club has its own facility, owned and maintained by the city. 95% of the coaches are volunteers.

[David Grossman @davidgross_man]

*conservative trying to think of a nightmare scenario* what, you want the government to fund after-school programs?

[Btown Bucket Boy @BtownBucketBoy]

When Lalas says something so stupid it gives you brain damage, remember that our economy is run by people who think exactly like him.

Why invest in programs that benefit communities when corporations can CHARGE them for a worse service!

Suddenly things make a lot more sense!

[sean illing @seanilling]

The fact that we just spent maybe close to $200 billion on an utterly stupid and pointless war and a certain species of American still finds the idea of the govt subsidizing youth soccer unthinkable is basically the insoluble problem here

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.

[Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL]

Btw lalas supporting the current system is basically proof that it doesn’t work. Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic would never have had the money to pay for the American system. So we are stuck with players like Lalas and Pulisic as a result of this exclusion.

[Rafael Shimunov 🍉 🕎 @rafaelshimunov]

I love Poetica coffee. The owner is an amazing person who loves plants and Robin Williams. Half is clients are Jews like me and we never had a problem because we aren’t Congressmembers paid by AIPAC to fund genocide. And now his family is getting death threats because you want to smear him to help Dan Goldman who is losing a reelection?

[Josh Dubnau 🇵🇸 @joshdubnau]

The ADL is attempting to erase Jews as individual human beings, each with our own views. Vast numbers of us oppose the monsters at AIPAC who lobby for genocide. What the ADL is doing is both antisemitic and anti Palestinian.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

@CeciliaVega and her team were indeed working on a report for @CBS examining the impact of the U.S. sanctions on my work and personal life, including developments in the U.S. courts. I am sorry they were punished.

Protesters in Naples, Italy have unfurled a giant shroud bearing the names of 18,457 Palestinian children killed by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

[Mahmoud Khalil | محمود خليل @mahmoudkhalel]

We're now seeking Supreme Court review of my case after the Third Circuit Court of Appeals declined to rehear it in a 6-5 split.

This fight is about whether the government can detain and deport people for their speech. It can't end here.

Except that it's not the Jewish Day parade. He actually did hold an event in Gracie Mansion in honor of the Jewish holiday of Shavuos, when the Jews celebrate the birth of their becoming the Jewish people and the giving of the Torah.

Zionists boycotted that.

It's Zionists who don't stand with Jews.
