The killing is not only in Gaza: “Over 460 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis in the West Bank since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.“ apnews.com/article/a1e41f…

This report is only 3 days old. Palestinians are still being starved and slaughtered. Don’t lose focus.

If you didn't condemn the attack on #Iranian Embassy in Damascus you should stay silent now. To say 'this is an unprecedented escalation + a grave threat to regional security' is total nonsense, more hypocrisy from the #EU - The dogs in the street know #Israel is the problem...

Not great to see the framing shift from “retaliatory” to “unprecedented” overnight.

Lebron 4th all-time w/11,000 assists is arguably more amazing than his 40,000+ pts considering he’s only forward in the top 35. Rest are guards. Next forward is Scottie Pippen at #37. First center might surprise some: Kareem, an underrated passer at #49.

Jalen Brunson leading Knicks to 50 wins & #2 seed w/o Julius Randle for 36 gms, Mitchell Robinson 52 gms & no OG Anunoby for 60 gms is a pretty incredible feat that no one predicted.

Just not convinced the Knicks facing the peaking Pacers would be a break from the Sixers a lot of ppl think it is.

“I’m not Iranian & have no tie to the country or its people, but here’s my hot take on Iran’s history, riddled w/missing information, & my suggestions on what should happen next. No, I won’t center Iranian voices, my Wiki research will suffice.”

Mets retire Doc’s #16. ❤️ this. Dwight Gooden’s 1985 as dominant & electric as it gets. Curveball just fell off a table.

24-4, 1.53 ERA & 0.34 in Sept. Would be 26-4 but his back2back shutouts were no-decisions tied 0-0 after 9, only way to beat Doc. Here👇. Absurd.

“For students courageously speaking out for Palestine, Congo, Haiti & to #StopCopCity , they should not be threatened w/expulsion, etc. Too often our institutions celebrate student activists AFTER they’ve graduated, even giving them honorary degrees”

I LOVE sports. I’d LOVE to enjoy purity of sports and artistry of athletes on its own merits w/zero social justice takes like when I was a kid. And sometimes that’s possible. But bad owners, bad media & too many bad fan takes make that impossible. When they stop, I stop.

A softball question 4 corporate media:

If another country attacked an American embassy, killed 7 military advisers & 3 Sr. commanders, would U.S. retaliate?

You know the answer. And know U.S. response would be exponentially more catastrophic than Iran. So write that.

-Iran was *responding* to Israel’s attack on its embassy, this framing makes it seem like Iran initiated an attack

-If Biden wanted to avoid a crisis he could have supported a ceasefire, instead he gave Israel no red line, aided atrocities in Gaza and shattered international law

I don't fear white supremacy. I fear our lack of unity in response to it.

I’ve been on Knock LA’s admin team since 2022. I’ve coordinated skills building workshops w/ journalism orgs, overseen award winning reporting & secured major funders. Last night Ground Game LA maliciously deleted all of my @knockdotLA accounts. Pls read our newsroom’s open letter

worth reading the whole thing but this is the key paragraph

On Iran’s strike:

At Stanford, I attended a masterclass on military strategy led by a person with decades of experience, including serving at the highest levels in the military and government.

One lesson he thought that I always remember was this:

He asked us:

“Say the US…

Unlike Wemby/Spurs, Caitlin Clark is not joining a weak roster, but one w/a very strong young improving core of Aliyah Boston, NaLyssa Smith & Kelsey Mitchell. That’s 4 players all picked #1 or #2 in WNBA draft. Indiana Fever can make immediate noise. A roster write-up below.

Great skit. By Caitlin Clark & Michael Che who likely wrote the jokes clowning himself. Most ppl get it, but always some white ppl w/bad takeaways gotta dampen it.
