I knew Lawrence O’Donnell would torch donald trump4sleeping at that Knicks game. Lawrence said: “Well, 19,812 people were in Madison Square Garden to watch the most exciting basketball game played in that arena in the 21st Century…and only one of them fell asleep.”

Trump was too busy sleeping through the NBA Finals to hear the crowd booing him

[Wendy 🇨🇦 @perfectrose2011]

Do they (the airport security) really think these men have travelled half way across the world to do other than participate in the INVITATION to participate in this World Cup football. This is so racist, it is truly despicable.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

no one should come here

[Tom Whittaker @whittakertp]

Instead of playing Captain Canada, the Premier of Ontario @fordnation needs to release his phone records as ordered by the Ontario Court of Appeal.

Canada says Somali FIFA-certified referee Omar Artan, whose U.S. visa was denied, is welcome to officiate matches in Vancouver. 🇨🇦

@JamesHu27192912 Beautifully and hauntingly said.

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

Clint Eastwood said something about getting old that stopped me cold.
Aging is not gentle. You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move.
The body that carried you through everything – the wars, the work, the wildness of youth – begins to ask for more than you can give it.
Joints that never complained now speak in the mornings. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses. But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call. The people who knew you when you were young – who remember the same summers, the same streets, the same faces – are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry, have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the story anyway. To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps, the truth deserves.
With a touch of pride you’ve earned and a grief you don’t always name. You know the person across from you wasn’t there. You know they can’t quite feel it this the way you do. But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered. And if no one asked for them – you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body. It is memories looking for a place to rest. And what an old person needs – more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel – is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen. Not to fix anything. Just to be there. That is the whole gift. And it cost nothing. Wild whispers.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Somali referee Omar Artan was questioned for 11 hours (!) before being denied entry.

“I am just a referee trying to live my biggest dream: going to the World Cup, I am really, really disappointed. I had the correct documents and the correct visa. I think they have a problem with my country.”

Doug Ford flying home on the OPP jet as we speak...

Seems like he accomplished nothing and wasted taxpayer money for his photo ops - pretending that he's having trade negotiations when in fact there were no such meetings with any U.S. officials.

[Mr S @Mr_S_Ont]

But it was a pretty cool publicity stunt that a lot of the usual suspects fell for and used to attack #onted

Interesting that it was announced just before negotions (but after the unions asked to start early and were denied)

[tag @mxdric]

How sweet would it be for the referees to all strike in solidarity and completely fuck up the tournament. Fuck FIFA for allowing this

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Canada have invited Omar Artan to referee in Vancouver.

It needs to happen we have had far too much racism from the USA in this World Cup.

Lets see some anti-racism.

[Faisal Hassan @FaisalAHassan]

Ontario promised teachers $750/year for classroom supplies. Turns out it’s not new money. It’s recycled funds while Doug Ford cuts education budgets. Teachers will still spend their own cash to keep classrooms running. Ontario students deserve better than PR stunts. #ONpoli #YSW #FundOurSchools

[Pam @pammcgugan]

@theresemacdona6 @fordnation I still want FULL audit of booze they took off the shelves. Where is it? Where is the documented INVENTORY??? We the taxpayer paid for EVERY last drop of that booze! @MaritStiles @JohnFraserOS @tylerwatt @chrisglover @auditorOntario @robertbenzie @RichardCityNews @LauraBabcock

[The Geordie Ape 🦍 🌍🌌 @GeordieApe]

I honestly hope the World Cup in the USA is a fucking disaster.

It's what America & FIFA deserve.

[Hassan Mafi ‏ @thatdayin1992]

This is the most racist World Cup the world has ever seen thanks to the US.

[MalcolmRichards. @JailBre18534267]

Just got a phone call from the hospital. My urology appointment tomorrow has been cancelled. The whole department is closed due to Covid.

[Kubo Kubo @Bantu_Kubo]

Africa's best referee is not going to the World Cup, and CAF has not said anything.

[ADAM @adamemedia1]

This is the worst World Cup in history.
