So a man walked up to a Muslim employee at a kiosk in a mall yesterday, asked for water, and as the employee turned he stabbed him 15 times, saying he “intends to kill Muslims” and is planning mass casualty events.

Anti-Muslim hate crimes keep happening and no one even blinks.

This was the French national team 22 years ago. They had just 1 White player (goalkeeper), & no one cared because they were not as dominant as they are today. All the whining is just jealousy & envy

[Angela Conley @D4Commish]

This is nothing we are unfamiliar with as WOC electeds. Our dress, our style, even our credentials come into question when we dare to be our authentic selves. We are used to white male dominated fields like electoral politics, as such, the media requires WOC to assimilate.

I sat down recently w/ former Hopkins forward Ahmed Nur. He'll play his senior year at a prep school in Phoenix. His recruitment has blown up since he won MVP at the NBPA camp in June. #Gophers want him. Snippet of our chat, + link to all 20+ min. below:

Cabo Verde, the definition of believing in yourself.

A World Cup debutant. One of the smallest nations to ever reach this stage. Facing Argentina, Messi, and the weight of world football.

And they did not blink.

They went goal for goal, moment for moment, belief for belief. They pushed the reigning champions into extra time and reminded the world that football is about courage, discipline, and the refusal to feel small.

Cabo Verde may be out, but they leave with the respect of the world.

What a team. What a story.

[Mukhtar M. Ibrahim @mukhtaribrahim]

Cape Verde vs. Argentina should never have been played in Miami, Messi’s home. That’s a huge advantage for Argentina and hardly fair to Cape Verde.

It’s hard not to feel like FIFA wanted its favorite boy to have every possible advantage.

In 2015, U.S. Representative Tom Emmer (R-MN) and then-Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) co-founded the Congressional Somalia Caucus.

It’s easy to forget that this kind of gracious rhetoric was once standard and expected for Presidents of both parties.

🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!

We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.

[Dalsan TV @DalsanTv]

WATCH: Omar Artan at the Mogadishu Stadium.

"Where he calls home."

[khalil Erigavo @khalilErigavo]

Since Africa’s best ref Omar Artan is all over Twitter today, it’s worth remembering that Wavin’ Flag the 2010 World Cup song and one of the greatest football anthems ever was also by Somali artist @KNAAN 🇸🇴🇸🇴

[Adam Aw Hirsi, PhD @AwHirsiSO]

A Somali referee, please. The correct demonym is Somali.

“Somalian” is as wrong as Americese, Japanian, Iraqian or Mexicese.

And the @ABC, of all outlets, should know better.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.

[Mukhtar M. Ibrahim @mukhtaribrahim]

The only thing people like Alex Jones don’t understand is that Somalis don’t give a damn what they think.

These students could have left their hijabs at home. They could have made themselves smaller. They could have performed whatever version of “assimilation” people like him pretend to want.

And he still would have found a reason to hate them.

So they showed up as themselves.

Alex and everyone like him can let their blood boil.

‘Moon’ is capitalized when referring to Earth’s Moon.

It’s lowercase when you’re referring to other moons, or the verb.

This was so pointed and clear that mainstream media decided to not engage much further with Coates. It’s important to also note who is allowed to become the critic and who isn’t. Carlson’s critique upholds American myths and power and can also be dismissed as right wing fodder. Coates’ critique doesn’t and cannot.

[Asad🗽🍎 @AsadFromNYC]

NYC government went from surveilling hundreds of mosques and local establishments just 10 years ago (!!!) to its new Mayor Eid-posting his first morning coffee after fasting all of Ramadan. I cannot overstate how remarkable that is.

New York, where everything truly is possible.

See how they lie?

It was “Israel” (and the US) which hit energy sites, escalating the war. Iran only responded.
