100,000 Dead: What We Know About Gaza's True Death Toll
The death toll in Gaza, as reported by the Palestinian Health Ministry, understates the true scale of the crisis, researchers say. Hunger, disease, and Israeli gunfire at food distribution centers have made the war in the Strip one of the bloodiest of the 21st century
This story from @nirhasson.bsky.social demonstrates not only the scale of the carnage (at least 4% of Gaza's population) but the truly unprecedented targeting of civilians. Women and children account for 56% of those killed - more than twice their share in Sudan, Syria and Iraq.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.
Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

Exclusive | Columbia Is Nearing Agreement to Give Trump What He Wants
The school faces a deadline to yield to administration demands, with $400 million in federal funding at stake.
The administration gets bolder each time a strong institution bends the knee.
We saw it in media: The LA Times pulls an endorsement. ABC offers a $15m settlement. The WaPo kills op-eds.
Now, higher education: WSJ reports that Columbia is caving. Minutes later, White House puts $175m hit on Penn.
