NEW: Israel has committed at least 497 ceasefire violations, killing at least 342 Palestinians since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel & Hamas went into effect on Oct. 10.

An Israeli ‘kamikaze’ drone targeted a car on a busy Gaza City street on Nov. 22, killing 5 Palestinians.

I love it when photo history joins with social and political history to tell a new story about epic events. Great read.

Graphic that reads: "The average hourly wage necessary to afford a one-bedroom apartment in the United States is $28.17. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25." -- National Low Income Housing Coalition

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

The term "has historic roots, including Nazi ideology and, more recently, a violent conspiracy theory that’s inspired terrorist attacks in the US and abroad" www.cnn.com/2025/10/19/u...

THIS IS A GOOD HEADLINE.

There is no evidence linking COVID-19 vaccines to deaths in children. There is evidence that COVID causes serious harm — including long COVID, MIS-C, cardiac complications & diabetes.

This administration’s actions are dangerous, and the damage to the public and children may be irreversible

My friend @harshawalia.bsky.social was arrested and charged, and another protester was brutalized today in Vancouver at a protest targeting Apple for profiting from death and exploitation in its supply chain. The protesters also called out Apple's support of Friends of the IDF.

The $30 Billion Identity Theft of Venezuela - The American Prospect How Juan Guaidó sucked a weary nation dry, and primed it for the current U.S.-led assault

The last time these right wingers took control of any part of Venezuela they funneled $30 billion out of the Treasury and immiserated the country.

Right now, in Gaza, there are Palestinian Christians and Muslims surviving genocide committed by a Jewish supremacist state, which is backed by a Christian supremacist empire.

Excellent thread on how bots decontextualize information, and why that’s especially a problem for students. Being 90% right 90% of the time is a mess if you can’t ever trace the 10%.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

New Study: Gender-Affirming Care Dramatically Lowers Suicide Risk for Trans Kids Twenty-seven states in the US ban gender-affirming treatments for trans youth, including hormone therapy.

"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives."

"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."

"[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment."

Lol.

This Aimé Césaire quotation is relevant again today.

In recognition of the Day of Mourning the United American Indians declared on this day in 1970—in hopes of offering important context to colonial mythology about early Thanksgivings—we offer the story of Metacomet’s War:

Thread. Skip to all the videos. So grateful for farmers.

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

We ain’t buying it: Why we boycott Target For a long time, Target—that popular mega store that seemed to hit just the right combination of low prices and of-the-moment swagger—was everyone’s darling, the go-to spot for everything from groceri...

The Target boycott that AFT joined on Labor Day is seeing success. This holiday season, we're doubling down to demonstrate organized labor's economic power, as well as the consequences of ignoring the will of workers and the good of working families.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

This is one of the things the racist "crime wave" propaganda brought us.

Super interesting report.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Visible and Invisible: How ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago’s Working Class Fear, panic, hiding for days—this is the experience of families under assault by the Trump Administration

While ICE abductions, often in broad daylight, have provoked fear and outrage, the escalation is also unleashing a less visible form of economic treachery on Chicago’s immigrant working class: wage theft, lost income, work speedups, and economic slumps that spread through neighborhoods. My latest.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
