Palestine would be in the World Cup if Israel didn’t kill all its players

Hamas never shot 1,000 kids and women in the head with sniper bullets. The IDF did.

Israel killed little Riyadh in Gaza. He died of his injuries today.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Journalist Janine di Giovanni: "If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine, Europe calls it a war crime." "But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. And there is now a trillionaire.

🚨BREAKING: The first image from the ongoing trial of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya before Israel’s Supreme Court in occupied Jerusalem reveals a visibly weakened and exhausted man, bearing apparent signs of torture, abuse, and prolonged mistreatment during his detention.

I am deeply grateful for the overwhelming support, encouragement, and kind messages I have received from people around the world. Your solidarity has reminded me that football unites us beyond borders. Thank you to everyone.

Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında). Onu öldürmelerine izin verme. Bunu yeniden yayınlayın.

You want to know what imperial conditioning looks like from the inside? It looks like a person who knows that the United States has the largest prison population in the history of human civilization, and still describes other countries as "unfree." It looks like a person who knows their healthcare system allows people to die from rationed insulin, and still describes other countries' economics as "failed." It looks like a person who watched their government spend $2.3 trillion over twenty years building a state in Afghanistan that collapsed in just 10 days, and still trusts that same government's assessment of which other countries are "stable" or "democratic" or "ready for self-governance." It is not stupidity. It is something more structurally interesting than stupidity. It is what happens when the story a person needs to believe about themselves is in direct conflict with the evidence their own eyes can see, and the story wins. Not because the evidence is unclear. But because the cost of following the evidence to its conclusion is too high. Better a comfortable contradiction than an uncomfortable clarity. The empire is built on that choice, made daily, by millions of people.

There's only one thing I find more appaling than the discriminatory treatment of the Iranian football team by the US in the upcoming World Cup 2026 and it isn't that corrupt FIFA allows it. It's the collective silence of 47 other nations that are participating.

Mientras tanto, en EEUU, una abuela de 93 años, llamada Mary, que sigue trabajando en un cine AMC para pagar sus facturas, sin poderse jubilar, limpiando la basura que la gente deja atrás en las salas. Este es el futuro del capitalismo, que trabajes hasta morir sin poder jubilarte para pagar las facturas de los seguros médicos privados.

The genocide in Palestine and the mass murder in Lebanon must be stopped

Israel is committing genocide in Lebanon. They wiped out this entire family in 30 days.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team. Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani. Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

Worth repeating

Trust me, when you’re planning to record Electric Avenue in 1983 on a tape recorder made in 1971 that’s sitting next to an AM radio made in 1966, you’re gonna want the cheapest cassette possible.
