[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

@RomzyUnited But he was literally begging for the ball on field and he knew that they could've won the game right there had Sorloth passed the ball to him!

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: "I said Southern Lebanon would become Gaza. We applied the Rafah model. Destroy everything. 24 villages flattened. 15,000-20,000 homes destroyed. Infrastructure demolished."

Only Israel can brag about committing genocide in broad daylight - and the world calls it "defense."

Andy Burnham, who is expected to become the next PM of the UK, took to social media to apologise for the Labour Party’s initial stance on Israeli attacks in Gaza.

He’s now calling for accountability of the Netanyahu government.

@AJEnglish Placing sanctions on Netanyahu is not enough! Place sanction on Israel!

🇦🇷🚫 ¿Por qué Latinoamérica rechaza a Argentina a pesar de ser el único país que queda de esta región en el Mundial?

Fácil: es un equipo que no defiende a Latinoamérica, no respalda a nuestros pueblos segregados, no vive nuestras heridas, no siente ese deber que está por encima de patear la pelota…

En cambio, se sacan fotos con fascistas, hacen campañas con compañías de Israel, tienen un enorme respaldo de las élites globales (trumpistas y sionistas), son del Sur pero se creen del Norte, algunos de sus hinchas sacan banderas de Israel en los estadios y tienen un «líder» que es el mejor en la cancha –sin dudas– pero que se olvidó de la gente de su país, de los jubilados reprimidos y de los hambrientos, al posar detrás de Trump como una marioneta política.

Esta ya no es la Argentina de Kempes y la de Maradona, que sí fueron equipos del continente y ganaban con el respaldo y la alegría de los latinos. Esta es una Argentina que ha manchado la pelota. Y por eso es que nos traicionan: porque de Argentina no podemos esperar otra cosa que no sea compromiso con el hincha pobre de esta tierra. Entiendo el orgullo y la celebración de los argentinos, pero las cosas son así: ¿de qué vale ganar si más nadie siente orgullo de ti?

Para matizar, Francia está liderada por un antirracista que se ha posicionado contra la derecha y España por un chico antisionista que ha ondeado la bandera de Palestina. Es un mínimo de conciencia social. Argentina tiene una deuda y no es con el fútbol, es con América Latina y el Sur Global.

The World Cup journey for Argentina has once again brought to the forefront a persistent issue: the presence of racism both on the field and within the crowds.

User Harryinchina88 🇬🇧 speaks at the ruins of the 🇨🇳 Summer Palace:

This might be one of the most difficult videos I’ve ever had to make.

For the first time in my life, I felt genuinely ashamed of something my country did.

Today I’m standing in the old Summer Palace in Beijing, and honestly I wasn’t prepared for how emotional this would make me feel.

Growing up in Britain we learn a lot about our own history, but some parts receive far less attention than others.

Standing here today, I can’t stop thinking about what was lost. Imagine creating something so beautiful, so valuable, so culturally important that it took generations to build.

And then imagine watching it disappear — not because of a natural disaster, not because of time, but because people chose to destroy it.

In 1860, British and French troops looted the old Summer Palace. Treasures collected over centuries were taken. Objects of immense cultural importance were removed from this place, and then much of it was burnt down to the ground.

The scale of it is hard to grasp even now. This wasn’t some small act of war — it was the deliberate destruction of one of the most extraordinary imperial complexes in the world.

As a British person standing here today, it is incredibly difficult to process. What makes it even harder is knowing that many of those objects that were taken still exist today. Some are in museums. Some are in private collections.

Not in China.

Some are thousands of miles away from the place they once called home. They sit behind glass or on someone’s wall, far from the culture and the people who created them.

I feel really, really sad. Sad for what was destroyed. Sad for what can never be rebuilt in the same way. Sad that something so beautiful was lost forever in its original form. But at the same time, I feel an enormous amount of respect. Because despite everything that has happened in history, the Chinese culture survived.

Chinese history survived. And the Chinese people never forgot what happened. There’s something incredibly powerful about that.

As a British person, I cannot change history. None of us who are alive today can. But we can choose whether we acknowledge it. We can choose whether we will learn from it. And we can choose whether we believe that cultural treasures should be returned to where they came from.

Standing here today, I honestly believe that they should. What happened was a tragedy. I’d like to ask you guys a question. If cultural artifacts are taken during war, do you think they should be returned to their country of origin?

The Chinese purposely did not rebuild the Summer Palace to remind themselves to never again be deluded by self arrogance and self righteousness.

@frankmikesmith But how do you explain Germany's recent performances at the World Cups and Euorpean Championships?

We cannot integrate our military with Israel’s and lose our sovereignty. 

As a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, I am leading the fight to strip Section 224 from the Defense Authorization Act.

Westerners still ask the same question like it’s clever:

“Does the rest of the world actually want to be like China? No democracy, repressive on speech and human rights?”

They’re looking at the 21st century with 19th and 20th century glasses.

The assumption is that 1.4 billion Chinese must be suffering under some evil CCP. Black-and-white thinking that doesn’t fit reality anymore.

China’s going to build its own system. It might not match the Western model — and that’s fine by them.

When China was weak and divided, nobody was exporting human rights or democracy to them. The British forced opium on China in exchange for tea.

Western powers seized territory, set up settlements, and burned the Summer Palace. It remains now unrestored as a permanent reminder of history for Chinese to never be blinded by hubris again.

Now the same voices show up acting as saviors:

“Don’t you want a better government? What’s wrong with you?”

The condescension is unreal says Kishore.

China will choose its own path. It may not be perfect in Western eyes, but it’s theirs. Unlike America, they don’t pretend their civilization is a universal model the whole world must copy.

They do what works for China. You do what works for you.

They’re not exporting their system to anyone. No threat. No need to feel insecure about China succeeding on its own terms.

The West needs to drop the savior complex and get used to it.

The 21st century isn’t yours to dictate anymore.

People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.

It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…

From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.

Al Diego lo recordamos con sus virtudes y sus errores. Lo queremos porque lo entregó todo y nos descubrió que era humano. Por eso Messi nunca representará, en el imaginario colectivo, lo que es el Diego. Ante la decisión de la FIFA de retirar la sanción al yankee Balogun por intermediación de Trump, Manu Chao nos enseñó lo que Maradona diría. El Diego no habría ido a reirle las gracias a Trump como hizo Messi.
