Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime.

No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.

Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Making war crimes great again

what Pritzker is doing would be unexceptional if he wasn't the only one with a leadership role consistently doing it! like yes, the bar is low, but barely anyone is clearing it

Kamala Harris’s election memoir shows just how deluded the Democrats still are | Nesrine Malik This unapologetic trawl through a doomed campaign reveals a celebrity-obsessed party high on its own supply. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic, says columnist Nesrine Malik

Keep your eye on this. A decade ago, Debt Collective launched a student debt strike. Mainstream media scoffed and laughed. Then billions got canceled. We’re repeating that playbook with back rent debt: strike, shift moral culpability, target bad actors, change consumer protection law for the better.

It is a tribute to our dysfunctional information environment that right-wingers can basically commit 99% of the domestic terrorism, for *decades*, and that simple fact never penetrates to the public. They pay zero political price.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

The greatest advantage of Trumpists is that can say whatever they want (no matter how false, racist, inconsistent, or nonsensical) and suffer absolutely no consequences. You don't have to understand any issues or reality - you just make up shit and sound confident about it.

This is such an insane statistic that it's hard to understand. 40% of what is shipped is fossil fuels -- not 40% of things are shipped *by* fossil fuels. 40% of *what is being carried* is the fossil fuels themselves.

6-Year-Old NYC Elementary School Student and Her Mom Deported The mother's 19-year-old son remains in ICE custody in New Jersey, while her distraught teenage minor is now in the care of her 21-year-old brother.

Last week, ICE arrested a six-year-old Queens public school student at her family's scheduled check-in. This morning, she was deported along with her mother. One of her siblings remains in detention.

The cruelty of this federal administration knows no bounds.

An unprecedented opportunity for the next Congress to not just restore these programs but to dramatically expand funding for higher education.

‘A climate of unparalleled malevolence’: are we on our way to the sixth major mass extinction? The long read: Churning quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at the rate we are going could lead the planet to another Great Dying

It bears repeating: choosing to double down and accelerate our burning of fossil fuels will kill off a substantial proportion of humanity

That is something we want to avoid - and can choose to avoid

Sally Rooney says she will support Palestine Action despite ban The Irish novelist says

She can say this because she's an Irish citizen living in Ireland.

Say it in the UK and you could face 14 years in prison. Crazy.

Successive UK govts have expected the City of London to revive the economy. This faith is misplaced.

In 2024, £25.3bn new shares issued on the London Stock Exchange
£92.1bn paid in dividends
£57.1bn paid in share buybacks.

Companies sweat assets, leads to low productivity.

Yet no govt reforms.

pretty good barometer of a state's soul when nearly 1 in 5 kids grows up in poverty while one local oligarch can make more than $2 billion in just the last few months

The right wing in this country and their allies in academic administration are unilaterally destroying what it takes to maintain a free people.

refugees are being housed in hotel rooms that do not meet their basic needs: families are being housed in rooms with no cooking facilities, nowhere for children to play, frequent reports of mould, damp, vermin. if an MP can’t explain that to constituents what are we doing here.

need people to understand that accepting or conceding that he has the authority to do these things is tantamount to giving him the authority, and so your preemptive dooming is actively counterproductive

Will be hard to explain in the future that the US government went antivax, causing a lot of avoidable suffering and death, not in response to any negative incident with vaccines, but to the biggest, fastest, most successful, most impressive vaccine rollout in history.

It's absolutely wild that US professional associations are still trying to hold in-person international conferences there...
