Also worth noting:

They’re killing the media industry *first*.

Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible.

This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

social housing is less than FIVE % of Canada's housing stock

we don't have the right to housing. its an idea that hasn't been realized, a right that the federal government has the authority, resources and mandate to fulfill – if we demand it

mass homelessness didn't exist forty years ago

"It's just fields and fields of gray ash."

I think it’s telling that rather than funding a world that allows more people to be able to make art, the goal of the tech overlords is to plagiarize the history of the arts to get rid of human makers and technique while concentrating more wealth into the hands of a few. I don’t know how that’s good

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

BBC News: Do you think you were a witness to war crimes?

American veteran who worked at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution center: Without question I witnessed war crimes.

BREAKING - B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel call Israel's actions in Gaza genocide

Witnessing starvation on the streets of Gaza Doctors are receiving dozens of children suffering from malnutrition everyday, but with a lack of medicine and food, many are being sent back home

"It is a real famine.... This is now normal in the streets of Gaza. Pale faces, sunken eyes, and thin bodies searching for something to eat. Many don’t know if they will find food today or not."

The latest from my dear friend and colleague Hasan Jaber, who is living through what he's reporting on.

All of these people need to be sent to the hague.

Israel’s Endgame Is Obliterating Palestine Gaza is being deliberately starved. The West Bank is next.

It remains to be seen if the international community will take a meaningful stand against the slaughter of civilians in Palestine. With 18,000 children already dead, any change in policy will come too late for the countless lives already lost. From @ryanlcooper.com:

Please don’t criticize the nation that’s committing crimes in international waters solely to stop starving babies from getting humanitarian need

I look at this image of Rubios face and I think oh soul death, not just a theoretical concept

white women need to keep doing this shit.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

Urgently!

Only the people united in class solidarity taking disruptive direct action can change this rapid descent into fascist oligarchy. Nobody is coming to save you, not the treasonous duopoly, not the courts. The people have to unite and destroy the billionaires.

This column on U.S. concentration camps is the one I hoped I’d never write | Will Bunch Andrea Pitzer literally wrote the book on concentration camps. I talked to her about how they came to America.

Growing up after WWII, I always hoped concentration camps were history, not current events. But here we are, with thousands of migrants in squalid conditions, no due process, and $45B in new camps to come

Coming to terms with an American nightmare. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/us-c...

Powerful piece. @willbunch.bsky.social is an always-read:

“Mutual respect” fuck you man

I’m filled with awe and amazement that they seem primed to pardon ghislaine in exchange for her signing a statement that Trump is the least pedophilest man ever to walk the earth and was 100% never Jeff Epstein’s wingman with high school age models.

also i appreciate you doing this:

In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant. Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far. These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly "safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.

What is left to say? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

very grim

Alex de Waal: "this is famine... what is unique about this one is that the intl agencies are standing by with the capacity, the plans.. and they're not being allowed to implement those plans. If Netanyahu wanted every child in Gaza to have breakfast tomorrow, he could do it"
