Netanyahu on how Israel is different from Iran: "Here's the difference ... these mass murderers in Tehran target civilians."

Netanyahu is wanted for crimes against humanity, including the murder of between 75,000 and 186,000 civilians, at least 20,000 children or babies.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

The Cuban Embassy says a Florida-registered speedboat entered Cuban waters this morning and allegedly opened fire on Cuban border guards who approached it, injuring the commander of the Cuban vessel. Cuba says four people on the U.S. boat were killed and six others aboard it were injured.

The lamp-post outside my house has vanished, so I've sent my cat out with a poster stuck to her asking if anyone's seen it.

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: β€œI’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled β€œBrown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

A Difficult Few Months Robin Ince reflects on the final night of Monkey Cage

I try to think of future projects , but we should have been doing another series of Monkey Cage this month and it makes me feel a little sick that we’re not. I offered to do it before departing , but the execs were happy to have me gone.

When I was a freelance BBC science presenter, I wrote in support of Professor Dorothy Bishop and was then told I should not be critical of the Royal Society. Now I’ve resigned, so I can say I think @profrachelgan.bsky.social is making an important point here.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Plato Has Been Censored; What Next? PEN America condemns and calls absurd Texas A&M censoring Plato readings and discussions related to race and gender

The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States.

Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? πŸ€”

ICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis amid immigration crackdown The Department of Homeland Security accused the victim of being a "rioter" and that the ICE officer who pulled the trigger was "fearing for his life." Mayor Jacob Frey rejected claims of self-defense.

I am outraged by the horrific killing of a legal observer perpetrated by Donald Trump's ICE agents in South Minneapolis. Video footage shows clearly that this killing was unjustified. I demand a full investigation and this agent must be held accountable. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...
