LOS ANGELES — Jordan Poole sat in a folding chair facing the inside of his locker with his back turned to the center of the cramped visitors locker room at Crypto.com Arena.He didn’t want to talk much after the Warriors’ 104-101 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.“I don’t got nothing for y’all,” he said as music blared from his iPhone.Poole, a key piece to last year’s improbable championship run, has had a rough go this time around in the playoffs and he’s provided little answers as to why, mainly because he said he’s also stumped by what’s going on.Monday wasn’t Poole’s night, but neither was Saturday or Thursday and some other games before that. Poole played his way into a nine-figure extension last offseason by stepping up big when Stephen Curry was injured and being a dependable sixth man on a championship team. But he hasn’t been able to replicate that on a consistent basis this year...Oakland teachers strike Day 4: OEA holds news conference

At Al Jazeera’s headquarters in the occupied West Bank, in a high-rise building by Ramallah’s central square, Shireen Abu Akleh’s colleagues have turned her office into a memorial. A room that was once filled by the veteran correspondent’s voice and laughter is now decorated with flowers, portraits, and tributes to her life and career from all over Palestine and the world.This week marks one year since an Israeli soldier killed the Palestinian American journalist with a single shot to the head while she was reporting from the city of Jenin. For her former colleagues, her absence is as dominating as her presence once was.“She was a legend,” Rania Zabaneh, an Al Jazeera producer and friend of Abu Akleh told The Intercept during a visit to the office earlier this year.
