On June 6, Anthony Aguilar, a retired 25-year US Army veteran and Green Beret, found himself facing a daunting logistical problem. He had been recruited as a security contractor for UG Solutions, a partner of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—the Israel-backed American nonprofit now overseeing food distribution in the devastated Palestinian territory. His challenge: finding a way to feed the local Palestinian workers assisting with GHF’s efforts. “Nobody could figure out how to get food there,” he says. So Aguilar says they settled on a workaround: ordering stacks of Domino’s pizzas via an Israeli delivery app and picking them up at the Gaza border themselves. “We then took those 27 pizzas in an armored convoy,” he says, to a GHF distribution site within the strip.

While all of Gaza starves and the entry of aid is prohibited, American mercenaries with the assistance of an IDF armored convoy are able to bring Domino’s pizza in when they feel like it.

In most EU countries you get permanent residency in 5 years.

This allows you to travel indefinitely and still be welcomed back, qualifies you for full social benefits, and in some cases even let's you vote.

This administration has absolutely convinced me of the necessity of automatic citizenship for people who have lived in the US for anything longer than a year or two. US residents are Americans, and it's both silly and dangerous to classify them otherwise.

Police state tactics.

"When CBP seizes electronic devices at the border during questioning or detention, they use document and media exploitation (DOMEX)— copying contents from phones and laptops, then combining it with data from myriad sources, including government databases, social media, etc."

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Netanyahu fires attorney general as domestic pressure over Gaza heats up Israel’s cabinet voted to dismiss the attorney general, a key Netanyahu critic, as the U.S. grows increasingly impatient with the war in Gaza.

"The culmination of Netanyahu's coup d'État," says former Chief Justice Dorit Beinisch.

Netanyahu’s far-right government voted unanimously to dismiss his attorney general, the chief prosecutor in his ongoing corruption case, as he faces growing criticism.

Oh is that why FEMA money is going to build ICE detention centers? 🤡😭

Even then, we're losing a generation of expertise and 50xing the workload by moving FEMA functions to the state level

yuuuup

oh hey it's that thing I've been talking about for 3 months

The attempt to ban, erase etc.. marginalized people's histories demands responses at the grassroots level. Regular people can be cultural stewards, can be archivists, can be storytellers, can be preservers of oral history. And these are all fun things to do!

The best and most effective fighters on the left side of the spectrum have to literally take a pay cut in order to keep doing the work

Yeah... they don't actually care about the hostages... it's just a justification for continued slaughter.

Honestly I'd be surprised if there are any hostages still left alive at this point.

This leaked photo taken despite threats doesn’t just capture a scene. It exposes a blueprint of erasure.
What you see isn’t rubble. It’s the remains of entire cities that were blown off the map
One image reveals the result of a policy not aimed at war,but at wiping out
But even this image can’t show

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

A graph of manufacturing growth broken down by subsector

America has lost 116k manufacturing jobs over the last year—that's the fastest pace of job loss since the early COVID era and worse than any period from 2011-2019.

Big drops in the transportation (-49k) & electronics (-32k) industries drive most of the decline

It's great to see so many people enjoying this Swedish advert about wind farms. But for context, this is a state-owned power company that used to be one of the largest gas and coal companies in Europe.

It only went clean after decades of protests pushed it there.
