None of this is based on actual crime statistics, btw. It’s based on Trump’s brain calcifying in the late 1980s and his deeply ingrained racism.

Multiple Men Have Impersonated ICE Agents To Kidnap And Assault Women In a letter shared with HuffPost, the Democratic Women’s Caucus urged DHS to mandate ICE agents to “visibly and clearly identify themselves" when making arrests.

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die July 21, 2025 AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024. Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years. We refuse to watch them die. One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness. Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.” Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%. AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency.

"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die"

Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

Yall catch a terrorism charge,we get black-bagged and threatened with deportation/denaturalization. And the Zionist entity trains both of our cops on criminalizing and escalating every situation based on the best way they treat Palestinians. Its all one struggle

(2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today’s studies have become more robust. (3) PERSON 1: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did.

WHO says residence and main warehouse in Gaza hit by Israeli forces Staff quarters attacked three times and four people detained, three temporarily, as IDF tanks enter Deir al-Balah

"Don't attack UN sites" should be a non-controversial position. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Learning these two truths of academia are a large part of why I stopped applying to higher ed positions altogether.

I got an excellent education. I'm very proud of some of my adjunct work. That system was never gonna love me back.

i just feel like if someone can buy tylenol over the counter with enough acetaminophen in a single bottle to kill an entire family

they should also be able to buy hormone replacement therapy

they show their strength by coming forward …. I believe them

Gaza health ministry says 33 people dead from malnutrition in last 48 hours New figures from the Hamas-run ministry include 12 children who have died, as the UN says Israel must allow aid into Gaza.

"It's heart breaking to see a mother listening to her child cry because he or she wanted food and she cannot give them food.

This is not aid, aid doesn't kill."

And somehow you didn’t stop him…what else is new…

This from the man who wants to ban trans women from participating in women's sports on the grounds that women need to be protected in locker rooms.

79 people shot in Gaza over the weekend: There is no excuse for starving people and then opening fire on civilians desperately lining up for food. None.

Congress must not give Netanyahu another penny of unconditional military aid.

'Hunger is killing us faster than illness ever could,' cancer nurse in Gaza says published at 11:58 11:58 Caroline Hawley Diplomatic correspondent A cancer nurse, 38-year-old Randa, has just sent me a WhatsApp message, which she calls a "cry for survival" from Gaza. "I watch cancer patients - mostly women - dying one after another," she writes. "Not because of the disease alone, but because they receive chemotherapy in bodies weakened by malnutrition. "One of the most common things I hear at work is not 'I’m in pain', but: 'I’m hungry.'" Most essential chemo drugs and pain relief are not available, she adds. "We try everything we can, but we have so little to offer. We watch them slip away… and we carry that heartbreak with us every single day." She continues: "Hunger is killing us faster than illness ever could. For the first time in my life, I am completely helpless. I cannot provide even a piece of bread for my children, nor the help my patients need."

Trump Makes His Move at the NLRB Today on TAP: His new nominees come from the management side or—worse—are suffused with management’s ethos.

Trump's NLRB picks are anti-union.

A reminder that this new pro-working-class GOP that so many pundits liked to pretend was a thing never was and never will be.
