Despicable.

This says that Netanyahu only agreed to the peace plan as a "diplomatic maneuver" to legitimate the genocide. It proves that Israel's leadership never wanted the hostages, but has been using their continued captivity as a pretext for its ethnic cleansing project.

According to the Trump administration, only admitting white people as refugees is important for the national security of the US.

That's not even a caricature. That's more or less what they're saying.

This is White Canadian racism: smug, condescending and contemptuous.

Israel not only wants war, but regime change. Now Trump is effectively letting Israel decide US Iran policy (snapback, no enrichment). My question is, does Trump want war leading to regime change, or is he so foolish that he doesn't see where outsourcing Iran policy to Israel is leading?

Trump taking a page from the Viktor Orbán autocratic playbook.

Vance's main lesson from Trump is that lying pays politically.

Long Covid Risk for Children Doubles After a Second Infection, Study Finds The new research provides evidence that Covid reinfections can increase the risk of long-term health consequences.

Children and teenagers are twice as likely to develop long Covid after a second coronavirus infection as after an initial infection, a large new study has found.

If I'm a UEFA member who has been pushing for this, I am beyond livid.

Imagine committing genocide for two years, despite global condemnation and ICJ interim judgement, and getting a reprieve at the last minute from an imminent suspension vote because your main sponsor colluded with you to develop a peace plan that you yourself boast reflects substantially your demands

The inevitable result is that Netanyahu gets to continue his genocide, which is of course what he wants.

Netanyahu is running circles around Trump, and making him look like a fool. Which of course he is.

For someone who claims that he wants peace, it should have been unthinkable to give Israel his full backing to "finish the job." And haven't we seen this same process unfold before: Trump wants to end the slaughter, but lets Netanyahu shape the proposal in a way that he knows Hamas won't accept.

This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide.

While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide

Absolutely extraordinary!

"At one point the narrator compares critics of Israel to former KKK grand wizard David Duke... and refers to the occupied West Bank as 'judea and Samaria,' the biblical name controversially used for the region by the Israeli government."

So anything other than extreme Zionism is antisemitism.

In other words, Netanyahu gets to continue the war as before, if Hamas doesn't agree to his terms, which he knows Hamas will never do. This is what Trump's latest effort to end the genocide amounts to.

In other words, Trump got snookered again by Netanyahu.

I fear that they're going to nominate a pro-Israel Israel candidate like Josh Shapiro.

More Republicans think that it is acceptable for the president to direct the DoJ to investigate his political opponents than who think that it is unacceptable. Republicans are divided over basic ideals used to share wide agreement across the American political spectrum.

Dak = MVP favorite.

Kinda, but a tie is anticlimactic.

Talk about anticlimactic.

Through a new, little-discussed directive, Trump has just deployed the whole state counter-terror apparatus against any person or group that is left wing or liberal. This should truly be alarming.

🇦🇺Australian doctor Nada Abu Alrub volunteering in Gaza City writes:

“Today’s shift cannot be written down; not even in a hundred years could words capture how horrific it was; not even in the worst imagination of any human being. So, I’ll only write this: This Was The Worst Day Of The Genocide...

I used to watch Maher. There are genuine excesses on the left, so his relentless criticism of the left didn't bother me too much, although I did start to wonder if he was inadvertently pushing people into the arms of Trump. What finally - and irrecoverably - led to a break was his cruelty on Gaza.

Texas Tech curbs academic discussions of gender identity

So much for standing up for academic freedom.

UN Humanitarian Relief Chief tells CNN’s Amanpour that peanut supplements for malnourished children are being deliberately blocked from entering Gaza.

It was abundantly clear to anyone that was interested that Trump always wanted a Justice Department that he could use to carry out payback to those who he regarded as his enemies, and now he's finally gotten the Department he wanted. No one should be surprised.

Sigh. Where did you get the idea that I am neutral? I condemn him. He was an awful person, and a racist to boot. I am 100% anti-Charlie Kirk. All I said was that some people are getting carried away and exaggerating his racism, making him sound like he was a member of the Atomwaffen Division.

It's one thing for Trump to try to do these things, it's another for him to try and get so little pushback, including from those in his party. It's the latter fact that is frightening.

It's dumb to take what I'm saying as "defending" Charlie Kirk. As I explained before, I have taken a principled position on these sorts of issues. There are different types of race-related wrongs, different types of racist acts and different types of racists.

You know what, I wasn't mad at you until this post. How can you ask another brother to prove that he does what he says he does. That's what a white racist would do. If I were hysterical like you, I would say Nazi. But here's a recent paper of mine. You lost a fan.
