Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

Christian nationalists believe Trump on a 'mission from God' to occupy cities: author President Donald Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to escalating tensions between protesters and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis, Min...

In a Thursday conversation for The New Republic's podcast, "The Daily Blast," host Greg Sargent (a former Washington Post columnist) and author Sarah Posner examined the connection between ICE raids and far-right evangelical Christian nationalism. www.alternet.org/mike-johnson...

Remembering ‘Never Again for Everyone’ at Bergen-Belsen At the height of the war in Gaza, a Jewish activist for Palestine accompanied his mother, a Holocaust survivor, to Germany for a ceremony to mark 80 years since liberation

For International Holocaust Remembrance Day, @omerman.bsky.social wrote this moving personal essay derived from his trip to Germany in the spring, to accompany his mother, who is a child survivor of Bergen Belsen, to a ceremony marking 80 years since liberation.

While Israel’s Construction Industry Falters, Apartments Are Springing up Around Ramallah Revoking the permits of 160,000 Palestinian workers has meant chaos for building projects and has all but destroyed the economy of the West Bank — though for some, it is a desirable place to own prope...

Fascinating insight from @lisang.bsky.social into the intersecting socio-economic, security, & political conditions shaping labour & ownership among diverse Palestinian communities living under various forms of Israeli control

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl If ICE is making us safer, PROVE IT

Holding up pictures of “murderers” and “rapists” doesn’t justify what ICE is doing in Minnesota.

I cannot get over this excellent reportage by Lisa Goldman.

West Bank Palestinians face limited employment opportunities, relying heavily on Israel. The Israeli government’s actions, potentially inciting unrest, are impacting both Palestinians and Israelis.

I know... It was hard to write about, too.

exemplary reporting here by @lisang.bsky.social, deeply informed and informative — a really fascinating read, looking at the injustices of Palestinian life and Israeli economics from very different angles than we usually see them

Thank you so much, Philip. This means a lot, coming from you.

Thank you so much, Adam. Means a lot.

Israelis and Palestinians are totally intertwined. This, perhaps counterintuitively, is what has emerged from the past two years of horror as an irrefutable fact. I wrote about this after a reporting trip. newlinesmag.com/reportage/wh...

Nearly 200,000 Palestinians were employed in Israeli construction, allowing them to support their families. Now, they're unemployed, and Israel's construction has tanked

I read everything @lisang.bsky.social writes about Israel-Palestine because it's so thoughtful

Thank you very much!

I've been waiting for this podcast! You won't find a smarter analyst than Sarah Posner.

Sweden was a paradise of social equality and liberal values for a long time, but the contemporary reality is quite different. Now, far right politics & oligarchs dominate the discourse and the "centrist" gov't wants to pay migrants to leave. newlinesmag.com/reportage/th...

With the West Bank economy on its knees and the middle class wiped out by Israel's closure since Oct. 7, why is Ramallah seeing a construction boom in residential housing? The answer is complex and often sad. My article: newlinesmag.com/reportage/wh...

That is shocking. I hope someone else will upload it.

This is such a damning report. No wonder the White House wants it buried and fuck Bari Weiss for complying. When she is hauled up in front of the international tribunal at the Hague for acting as an accessory to the crimes committed at this prison, I will cheer.

Celebrating Syria’s Liberation From a Prison Cell in Iraq The author recalls the fall of Bashar al-Assad as the happiest day of her life, though she was being held captive by an Iran-aligned militia

For the anniversary of Syria's liberation from the Assad regime, Elizabeth Tsurkov, a Syria expert who spent 2.5 years as the captive of an Iran-backed Iraqi militia that subjected her to brutal torture, wrote this extraordinary essay combining memoir & analysis. newlinesmag.com/first-person...
