Gaza ceasefire talks live: Trump may travel to Middle East at the weekend as he hails progress of negotiations US president says negotiators are ‘very close’ to what he called ‘potential peace in the Middle East’ As part of the Guardian’s Israel-Gaza: two years on series marking the second anniversary of the Hamas attack into Israel and the war in Gaza, the below has been published: The children’s names appear on a list of victims of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, maintained by health authorities in the territory. As of the end of July it ran to 60,199 names, of whom 18,457 were under 18s.

Nice little TV network you got there How easily has Trump rolled corporate media? So much more easily than he probably expected.

"Mother Jones has substantially more paid subscribers than Bari Weiss’ The Free Press, so perhaps someone should put us in charge of a TV network."

The latest from @monikab.bsky.social:

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

National police union calls Chicago's refusal to help ICE agents 'shocking' violation of duty Police union leaders called Chicago's alleged directive to not assist ICE agents surrounded by protesters a violation of law enforcement's duty to protect fellow officers.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

i'm not sure how you can claim to cover things fairly and fully when you're using the bootleg name that is officially only a "secondary name" for the department

She’s left us no choice. It’s time for Isaac Chotiner to interview Bari Weiss.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

The juxtaposition and absurdity of these arguments alongside an active years-long campaign to ban Black scholarship because it “belittles” conservatism, or makes white children feel bad, is half the point.

SCOTUS wades back into the war on trans kids—and considers greenlighting conversion therapy The science is in: The anti-LGBTQ "treatments" are ineffective and dangerous.

For years, a tiny contingent of fringe therapists has been fighting to overturn laws banning conversion therapy.

Now, those therapists—and their powerful allies in the conservative Christian legal movement—are on the verge of success.

Trump's power to deploy National Guard, explained President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

If you want bio kids but don’t have any yet, this is the best time for your body to endure pregnancies—forties is very possible (and more and more common) but harder on your body. If you have kids, you will never regret prioritizing time with them over work Wish I could do my kids’ early years again

This, to me, is so telling. When proven wrong, Bari Weiss invites her critic on a podcast. The rotten fruit of the "debate" tree, the fetishization of debate as a conversation in which one "wins" or "loses," "owns" or is "owned." A side-effect of capitalism's anti-intellectual higher ed arms race.
