Unemployed in America: My Own Story There’s a critical shortage of journalists in the American news industry, with many talented reporters experiencing layoffs just like mine. What can be done about it?

ICYMI: Yesterday, in the first installment of my new series, Unemployed in America, I wrote about my own layoff experience, the state of the news industry, and spoke with Matt Pearce about what can be done to shore up the profession before it falls completely off the cliff.

grok, is mechahitler with us?

Palestine Action can challenge UK ban, court rules The group's co-founder wins a bid to bring a legal challenge after the government banned it as a terror organisation.

Palestine Action wins legal permission to challenge the ban!

Court even references "chaos" created by 200 recent arrests in support.

Fight for Palestine Action is global, as we face down the security-police state and draconian use of anti terror legislation everywhere.

- Israeli forces bomb a kindergarten - Israeli forces attack World Health Organization buildings, stripping and tying up staff and family members, taking some hostage - Reporters from AFP, world’s oldest news agency, announce this is the first time in their entire history that their colleagues may die from starvation - United Nations staff say they will stay at their humanitarian hub in central Gaza, despite Israeli displacement orders - Israeli Settlement Minister Orit Strook says war on Gaza must expand, even if that endangers the hostages - Israeli soldiers arrested in Belgium due to accusations of war crimes - 28 nations, including the UK, Canada, Japan, Spain, and France, condemn Israel’s blocking of aid & killing of people seeking food and water; demands Israel to not block aid and not ethnically cleanse Palestinians - The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention – named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide – demands world leaders: - "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

- It doesn't say OF MILK.

“This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of federal policy choices — most immediately, sweeping job cuts across public-sector agencies where Black women have long held the strongest foothold in middle-class employment.”
