JUST IN: Another suit filed over laws Rubio invoked to target pro-Palestinian students for deportation. Suit from an unexpected source: @StanfordDaily, which says its non-US citizen writers don't want to touch Israel-Palestine topics. Via @TheFIREorg Doc: www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

If I got my ass kicked up and down the street by two children I would definitely tell my drug addled racist friend with 20 million followers about it

Heads up !!!
We are doing it again !!

NY high school grad detained by ICE released Editor’s note: The video aired before it was announced that Yeonsoo Go would be released. NEW YORK (PIX11) — Yeonsoo Go, the Scarsdale High School honors graduate who was detained by IC…

YEONSOO GO HAS BEEN RELEASED.

This doesn’t change the monstrous injustice of her detention.

‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity Joe Biden was hounded for his age-related gaffes, but Trump’s increasingly strange behavior has largely been ignored

It's pretty notable to me that it's the US branch of the Guardian publishing this. Most of the other big national papers have been notable in their refusal to acknowledge the president's visible senility

Inside the Crisis at the Anti-Defamation League The group used to believe the rights of Jews were inextricable from the rights of everyone else. Its war against anti-Zionism has changed everything.

Comedies used to reliably account for 25-35% of the top 100 highest grossing movies each year. Look how many there were in 2005 alone. Even a shitty Dukes of Hazzard movie made $80 million! It's so weird they just gave up even trying.

"In 2005, Batman Begins kicked off Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. It was a massive hit, propelling Christian Bale to stardom and helping usher in the modern era of superhero movies. What now seems lost to history about the film’s success, however, is that it was slightly exceeded by the Vince Vaughn goof-fest Wedding Crashers, which earned $209 million to *Batman Begins’*s $206 million at the domestic box office—on roughly a quarter of the budget."

I wrote about what's at stake for the new Naked Gun, basically just so I could tell more people this one data point. www.fastcompany.com/91378455/nak...

UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty and the Republicans just voted to let Trump take the Qatari jet with him when he leaves office.

Insane corruption. There is no bottom.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Let me repeat: Until Todd Blanche and David Markus reveal basic details, Todd's conversations with the sex trafficker should be treated as gross corruption. Those are:

1) Did she have a proffer (answer is yes)
2) What FBI agents were in the room (if none, take to the streets)
3) Was it recorded

consenting to a shakedown from the pedophile president with an approval rating in the 30s is insane

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir 21 juillet 2025 L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024. Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans. Nous refusons de les voir mourir. L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe. Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias. Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ». Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères. Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ». Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%. L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

Atlanta journalist fights deportation from Ice jail despite dropped charges: ‘I’m seeing what absolute power can do’ A Salvadorian reporter with an audience of millions, Mario Guevara was arrested while livestreaming a protest against Trump in June – and is still struggling for freedom

“Today, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, he’s the only reporter in the United States sleeping in a prison cell for doing his job”

The ‘free speech’ ‘anti cancel culture!’ party did this. Hypocrites. All of them.

the reason that donald trump thinks that an "exclusive" is something which is not going to be published is that this is the agreement he had with the national inquirer.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Creepiest part of all this is it genuinely seems like the most intimate friendship he’s ever had

Opinion | I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It. A scholar of genocide comes to a painful conclusion about Israel’s actions in Gaza.

“My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,” writes Omer Bartov, a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. “I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one.”
