Al Jazeera Correspondent Hossam Shabat was killed by Israeli forces today in a targeted strike on is car. He was 23 years old. His final social media post reported fellow journalist Mohammed Mansour’s killing an hour earlier. ≈200 of our colleagues have now been killed in Gaza.

Another household kept alive by American aid was that of Jennifer Inyaa, a 35-year-old single mom, and her 5-year-old son, Evan Anzoo, both of them H.I.V.-positive. Last month, after the aid shutdown, Inyaa became sick and died, and a week later Evan died as well, according to David Iraa Simon, a community health worker who assisted them. Decisions by billionaires in Washington quickly cost the lives of a mother and her son. "Many more children will die in the coming weeks," said Margret Amjuma, a health worker who confirmed the deaths of Peter and Achol.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Yeah I don't mind either way.

Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

The placement of "trans issues" here is, without exaggeration, one of the most depraved things I've ever seen in the pages of this publication.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

If you are going to the stonewall protests tomorrow, please stay in touch with me, drop pictures, and help me report what's going on on the ground. I'd love to write a good story about what happens tomorrow if it turns out to be a big one.

English is so beautiful. One man’s Ethnic Cleansing can be another’s Development Plan

Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Is the argument here that ongoing genocide would have been better than ethnic cleansing? Really giving new meaning to “lesser of two evils” — and also that’s not the lesser one. Weird weird weird.

NYU Langone warns staff not to protect undocumented patients from ICE In a memo to staff, the health system instructed employees not to help undocumented patients avoid being detained by ICE.

Let’s connect some dots here. The hospital systems withdrawing care from trans youth are also throwing their undocumented patients under the bus. What do we think they’ll do if the administration says something about care for trans adults? Or abortion?

New York Times out here casually framing Trump's call for ethnically cleansing Gaza and seizing the land to build golf courses and condos as "nation building."
bsky.app/profile/did:...

It’s not that Gaza alone cost the election (tho it may have), it’s that a party not insane enough to stay locked into a electorally & morally poisonous genocide would’ve been one able enough to adapt to anything else (getting Biden out earlier; having a clear affirmative message)

The idea of making the site of a recent US-funded genocide into a US-owned seaside resort for the wealthy is, in fact, audacious, but that is probably not the first descriptor I'd choose, or among the top 100.
