All journalists should be outraged at attacks against a free press. But it is quite revealing to recall how so many US journalists have stood in total silence as Israel mass murdered our Palestinian colleagues, and many of their family members, throughout the past 16 months.

Trump's new FBI Director on his first day in office threatens "the world's largest manhunt" against anyone wishing harm on "our way of life," promising "we will find you and we will decide your end-state.” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-new...

Zelensky has given Trump everything that Trump demanded in return for absolutely nothing beyond a vague promise of some nebulous something. This is what happens when one believes the non-credible promises of a US that weaponises you for its own purposes www.ft.com/content/1890...

Robbing pennies from Peter (the cancer patient in Kenya) to pay Paul (the arms dealer) is the coward's way to try to project leadership in the Trumpian World Order. Starmer never fails to get it spectacularly wrong when he strives to get it half-right www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The UN human rights chief warned that a system of global protections built in the decades after World War Two has never before been under so much strain, calling for an effort to reinforce it or risk suffering the atrocities of the past reut.rs/4hQlbjQ

Israeli soldiers storm the Far’a refugee camp, killing three, as raids and arrests continue across the West Bank - yes, the same West Bank that the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to get out of, calling its occupation illegal www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

UPDATE: It's happening now. German police entered the new venue to break up our meeting with Francesca Albanese and Amnesty International. The miss no chance to prove that totalitarianism is back in Germany even before the AfD has won gvt

In November 2023, Hamas’ armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, announced that Shiri Bibas and her children, Ariel (4) and Kfir (9 months), were killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Meanwhile the genocide continues as Israel refuses to let even tents into Gaza (while preparing to restart the bombing) and continues shooting youngsters in the West Bank www.aljazeera.com/program/news...

Lol

This is genuinely horrifying — scientific and medical research is one of rare places we have seen genuine progress for all of humanity and it can’t be left to the private sector

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

A veteran Australian sports journalist, Peter Lalor, was fired for retweeting factual posts about Israel’s assault on Gaza, including a tweet from Jewish human rights lawyer Kenneth Roth, which cited two Israeli historians labeling the actions in Gaza as genocide.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera. If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

. @aoc.bsky.social on the dangers of a newly normalized Trump and his billionaire feeding frenzy. New pod out now! #JonStewart #TheWeeklyShow

Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers are advancing sweeping measures like the Laken Riley Act that make life harder for immigrants.

The spirit of the moment as only an artist's drawing can capture it.

I spent many years on these two audio series. They comprehensively explain the initial rise of Trump & his resurrection for a second term — aided & abetted by Democrats’ complicity, betrayal, and failure. Meltdown: buff.ly/40DvnWH Master Plan: MasterPlanPodcast.com

COMMON BLUESKY W “Some websites are racing to remove content that glorifies violence or the suspect.”

THIS is how it’s done, folks.
