listening to tapper on CNN, treating this as an essentially normal political moment with competing policy preferences, is painful.

Important thread >>

Two possible reactions: 1) Continue on the trajectory that got us here in the first place by discarding this as “just Trump being Trump” 2) Grapple in earnest with the fact that Trump asserts dictatorial power as the providential leader tasked with saving the nation. This is acutely dangerous.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

It was quite a ride: Covering an US presidency from start to finish, reporting on a pandemic, managing updates on global conflicts. I grew as a platforms editor, as a news editor coordinating with the Washington bureau and colleagues internationally, and overall as a journalist.

I unfortunately was let go as part of staff cuts after four years of covering the Middle East and major US news events, managing live blogs, and updating multiple editions. If you know of opportunities (in journalism or elsewhere) that may be of interest, my DMs are open. Thank you.

Palestinian media reports Israeli military drone attack in the Al Rashid Street area northwest of Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip in spite of ceasefire, citing local sources https://x.com/AlQastalps/status/1885936394565988443

Bit of a weird framing because the deal was really between Hezbollah and Israel.

From the White House: The arrangement between Lebanon and Israel, monitored by the United States, will continue to be in effect until February 18, 2025.

I really need news reports to dillineate between the thing Trump says he wants to do by tweet or whatever and the things he's legally able to do. Thank you.

There was a post that said "Al Jazeera of course has exclusive access" to the release in Gaza—well, it's good that the world was able to see the process play out. Otherwise, we'd be in the dark. And Al Jazeera does solid work.

The Red Cross has confirmed the completion of the second phase of release operations in Gaza and Israel on Saturday, where 200 Palestinian detainees and 4 Israeli hostages were released.

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.

Are there any countries on earth that are not becoming more right wing, that have a good medical system and where people actually give a shit about not killing/disabling those around them by refusing to mask and spreading Covid? I am genuinely wondering

if bluesky doesn’t make it i’m not downloading another app imma just start screaming all my thoughts at the sun

Every other social media app is owned by evil little freaks so this has to be the Big Tent website that welcomes everyone else. People who don't understand jokes. People who know it's a joke but still think it's Harmful. "To be fair," guys. Put up a statue of liberty here but it's on the computer
