Ibrahim and Omar Ali grew up in the West Bank waking up at 4am to watch NBA games, sometimes playing just 5 games a season because of checkpoints and road closures.

They grew up on Kyrie, whose posts made them feel like they had an ally in the NBA. Omar's dream is to hand him his Palestine national team jersey one day.

Now Ibrahim is the only West Bank born Palestinian American on a men's college roster, and Omar is drawing D1 interest.

Beautiful story from @MirinFader 🙏 https://t.co/M9RKv0x3MC

“Farmers” is not how you spell slave owners Zohran

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.

What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city’s waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.

Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.

Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

"Rape followed by the murder of Vietnamese women was so common that US soldiers had a special term for it: double veteran."

This is Zionism

[New Left EViews @NewLeftEViews]

The United States of America were founded by wealthy slave owners and arch-Stuart reactionaries who rejected their monarch because he couldn’t prevent Parliament from taxing their colony, whose violent settler peasantry just wanted to continue murderously expanding their frontier.

They were one of the last countries to abolish slavery and didn’t become a formal democracy until the 1960s. Their advantage of being a freer and more open society was short-lived and their attempt to build anything resembling a social state crumbled. Instead of a society of mass affluence, they ended up with a barbaric carceral system of historically unprecedented proportions, a top-heavy rapaciously extractive economy, a state thoroughly captured by oligarchic interests.

The last decades have been marked by America’s centrality to nearly every damaging social, cultural and ideological trend. It continues to export its accelerating domestic psychoses to the world. It has become the ultimate destabilising hegemon, blundering around like dying ogre, ever swelling a mountain of rotting corpses.

American isn’t the cause of all ill in the world, but the increasingly nihilistic, zero-sum social culture of contemporary capitalism, that has ramified into every corner of society, is fundamentally American, and the umbilical chord is very much still attached. There is no Post-American world—but with a little luck there will be one day.

Happy 4th of July

The United States is a capitalist plantation run by 1,000 billionaires who oversee 200 million broke workers with the assistance of 20 million millionaires who provide cover.

This is nothing to celebrate.

A reminder of how horrific things have been and for how long. In 2014, the Israeli military dropped a missile on Palestinians watching the World Cup on the beach in Gaza killing 8 Palestinians while they watched Argentina play the Netherlands. Here's how the @nytimes framed the headline:
