On April 18, 2025, the Irish rap group Kneecap found themselves at the center of a controversy after making antisemitic remarks during their performance at the renowned Coachella festival. The group, which is known for their outspoken political views and strong pro-Palestinian stance, took their anti-Israel rhetoric to the stage, accusing Israel of genocide and condemning U.S. support for Israeli actions. This led to widespread backlash, including calls for their U.S. visas to be revoked. Ultimately, the U.S. State Department took action and rescinded their visas, sparking a broader debate about artistic activism, censorship, and free speech.

The Coachella Incident

Kneecap, a group known for their unique mix of Irish rap and political messages, performed at Coachella on April 18. During their set, they displayed pro-Palestinian messages and made statements accusing Israel of committing genocide. The group also led the audience in chants of “Free Palestine,” aligning themselves with the Palestinian cause while heavily criticizing Israel’s actions.

While it is not unusual for artists to incorporate political messages into their performances, the incendiary nature of Kneecap’s remarks immediately caught the attention of media outlets and public figures. The group’s accusations against Israel and their condemnation of U.S. support for Israel’s actions were seen by many as crossing a line into antisemitism.

The controversy surrounding the performance escalated when TV host Sharon Osbourne publicly criticized Kneecap’s actions. Osbourne, who is known for her outspoken opinions, called for the band’s visas…

The Dominican community in New York City is the largest anywhere in the world outside of the Dominican Republic — we are their home away from home. Dominican New Yorkers contribute to every facet of life across the five boroughs, whether it’s running our small businesses in the Bronx or playing in our sports stadiums in Manhattan and Queens. Dominicans are not just our neighbors and our friends. They are our family.

So, when our family suffers a tragedy, it is our responsibility to be there for our brothers and sisters in their sorrow and in their grief. Two weeks ago, when the roof of the Jet Set nightclub collapsed, at least 231 members of our Dominican family lost their lives, and more than 150 more were injured in the accident. Last week, in a sign of solidarity, I mourned with their families in Santo Domingo not merely as the mayor of New York City, but as a brother who felt their pain.

The night of the roof collapse was a painful moment for so many within our city, and I knew I could not just show my support from a…

In a decisive move on April 9, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a substantial escalation in the ongoing trade conflict with China by increasing tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%. This decision comes amidst a complex backdrop of global economic tensions and has far-reaching implications for international trade dynamics.

Background of the Trade Conflict

The U.S.-China trade war has been characterized by a series of reciprocal tariff hikes and negotiations. Prior to this latest development, both nations had engaged in tit-for-tat tariff increases, affecting a wide range of goods and services. The escalation reflects deep-seated issues concerning trade imbalances, intellectual property rights, and market access.

Details of the Tariff Increase

President Trump’s announcement specified an immediate increase in tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%. This decision was framed as a response to China’s alleged unfair trade practices and its recent tariff hikes on American goods. The President emphasized that this measure aims to protect American industries and workers from what he perceives as exploitative actions by China.

Concurrent Tariff Pause for Other Nations

In contrast to the hardline stance on China, President Trump declared a 90-day pause on tariff increases for other countries. During this period, a universal 10% tariff will be applied to imports from these nations, including key trading partners such as Canada and Mexico. This pause is intended to provide an opportunity for renegotiating trade agreements and addressing existing imbalances.

Rationale Behind the Decision

The administration justifies the heightened tariffs on China by citing ongoing issues related to intellectual property theft, forced technology transfers, and trade deficits. By imposing a 125% tariff, the U.S. aims to…

Started in Las Vegas in 2004, the yearly off-season NBA tournament, the Summer League, is a testing ground for franchises to showcase their youngsters, giving the first look at freshmen, sophomores, and G League prospects, together with other mini-leagues like the California Classic and Salt Lake City Summer League.

Held in July, it is a proving ground for players fighting for NBA roster spots or hoping to impress coaches before the regular season.

Just like before, in 2025, expect lively games as under-the-radar players try to make their mark. But out of all the players that will be present this summer, seven names to look out for are listed below, picked from rookies, sophomores, and G League affiliates from opposing teams.

Cooper Flagg – Boston Celtics Rising Rookie

No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Cooper Flagg is a 6’9″ versatile forward whose collegiate stats at Duke—16.5 points, 8.7 boards, and 2.1 blocks—proved his two-way potential.

Flagg’s two-way ability to defend multiple positions and score as a self-creator has him positioned as a favorite in the Summer League. Though he is well known, his limited exposure in the NBA keeps him off the radar for casual fans, so he is expected to take over in Las Vegas with highlight dunks and defensive stops.

With such stats on his name and the “underground” fame around him, Flagg is definitely a good choice for…
