A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

Palestinians of Gaza return home ❤️🇵🇸

On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated. “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

to quote the great Nancy Pelosi, “this is not an attempt to ban TikTok, it’s an attempt to make TikTok better. Tic-tac-toe: a winner. A winner.”

I have struggled with my role is as an Arabic speaker with a platform, in the face of the need in Gaza. I have decided to start a series I'm calling “Voices of Gaza” that tells a fuller story of people’s lives and dreams beyond victimhood. I hope you'll help amplify.

If you took the most vulgar, simplistic analysis from the very beginning — that Netanyahu was intent on genocide and would pursue it until he was forced to stop by the U.S. — you’d have been precisely correct.

My membership has lapsed and I'm not at the meeting, but I'm glad to see the AHA pass this condemnation of the indefensible assault on educational institutions in Gaza.

Can’t decide whether the funniest part is the Israeli government telling soldiers that the proceedings are “futile” but also please stop posting war crimes, or Lapid saying Netanyahu has failed because Israeli soldiers are behind held accountable for their actions abroad.

This is the lash photograph of Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh, taken as he walks, unflinching, towards the Israeli tanks. An absolutely harrowing image.

In a new report, @amnestyuk.bsky.social concludes “Israel is Committing Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza.” They analyze the killing of civilians, destruction of infrastructure, forcible displacement, & more, as well as conduct/statements by Israeli officials. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...
