Resistance to tyranny and kakistocracy is our patriotic duty, not resigning. It’s using our privilege to stand up for what’s right. Watch Miami weatherman John Morales use his stage to educate and warn about Trump and Republican attacks on science.

The UN could enact The "Uniting for Peace" resolution, which empowers the General Assembly to take action if the Security Council fails to act. This allows them to convene the use of armed force to maintain or restore international peace. They rely on the public not knowing.

Aid seekers have come under fire for eighth day near an aid distribution site backed by the US and Israel.

“They made a place for us to go and be killed in cold blood,” one man in Nasser Hospital said. “They shouldn’t say this is a humanitarian area. It’s a trap and a massacre of starving people.”

The latest proposal, mediated by U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, “walks back the commitment for a permanent ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal and allowing in of humanitarian aid.”

10 mins on the news dedicated to the murder of 2 young people working for Israeli embassy. Not a mention of 85 Palestinians killed by Israel in the last day.

NEW: reports today from @l-toczylowski.bsky.social and others that ICE has begun efforts to dismiss cases pending in immigration court for less than two years — so that they can then immediately arrest the same people and put them through “expedited removal,” skipping the court process entirely.

The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran.

The World Cannot Know True Peace Until We Have Reckoned With What We Did To Gaza The Gaza holocaust is the product of the way the world was before it happened. Our society birthed it into existence, and now it’s staring us all right in the face. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-world-...

Growing reports show that Israel has been fomenting armed gangs to loot food supplies in Gaza and sow chaos — and it's killing those who attempt to stop it. But this strategy isn't new: Israel has waged a war on Gaza's civil government from the start.

Ramadan Among the Rubble in Gaza: A Collection of Stories In attempts to understand those continuing to practice their faith whilst surviving horrors, we heard from several people at several Ramadan events in Gaza, including Gaza City and Khan Younis. unicornriot.ninja/2025/ramadan...

Malcolm X once famously said the white liberal is the most dangerous thing in the Western Hemisphere. When he said that, white conservatives were turning dogs and fire hoses on black kids, burning crosses and black folk, and murdering white freedom riders. Malcolm wasn’t wrong…then, or now.

Wanna see something cool? At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is. The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

Tomorrow morning! Tap in, babes 👀

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

A cool fact about landlords is that if all landlords disappeared tomorrow, we would have exactly the same number of houses and zero landlords 👍

“When people talk about speaking truth to power, what they don’t realise is that power already knows the truth. It’s not interested in listening to it at all.” #Gaza genocide: How the hell did this happen, asks Pankaj Mishra www.middleeasteye.net/discover/gaz...

The entire health system across Gaza, including medical personnel, have been under attack since the war began. Just days ago a former UNRWA health centre was struck by Israeli Forces. Over 700 civilians were sheltering there. Healthcare is #NotATarget. #WorldHealthDay

Palestinian Christians are condemning the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for collaborating with the American Jewish Committee on an online resource that defines Palestinian resistance as antisemitic.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there
