I’m a Teenager In Gaza. And I Am Starving.
What hits you first is the exhaustion carved into every face. The sickly pallor. The terrifying weight loss ravaging everyone—yes, including me.
"Please forgive my anger and my sadness, but I swear there is no pain greater than watching an infant who doesn’t even have energy to cry gasp its last breath before the world’s eyes."

Sad so many believed the propaganda from the far right that the European Union was “oppressive” to national identity. Now the far right is building a movement across Europe, aided by far right and dark money from the US. Is that not oppressive? People are about to find out what real oppression is.

Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

Note the use of passive voice in the headline and that the sources aren’t even placed (in the administration or Harvard) in the NYT article. The journalists shouldn’t be trusted moving forward until they demonstrate higher standards. This reporting may have influenced Brown and Cornell’s agreements.

White House economist calls for 'fresh set of eyes at the BLS' after weak jobs report | Fox Business Video
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discusses the latest jobs report, the firing of the labor statistics chief and the consumer impact of tariffs on 'Fox News Sunday.'
Hassett went on TV and claimed you can’t trust the economic data anymore because all the recent revisions are partisan.
A bald-faced lie.
Every serious economist still in this administration should resign. They are actively underminding the US economy by lending their credibility to this horse****

There are hard core leftists in/from the Middle East? Genuinely interested in learning more and seeing your factual support because this is truly baffling. I thought the Middle East had a largely conservative culture🤔🤷

The situation at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has gotten so bad that detainees have been on a hunger strike for over ten straight days.

They’re refusing to eat to protest the inhumane conditions inside the facility conditions that include filthy living spaces, lack of medical care, overcrowding, and mistreatment by staff. We’ve posted about these issues before, and so have many others.

Donald Trump’s tariff blitz brings US levies to highest levels since 1930s
Washington has locked in tariffs on almost 45% of American imports
Trump is levying more taxes on US consumers than any president in US history. And he has built a massive propaganda machine to explain to people that he's not dong what he's actually doing. www.ft.com/content/50f8...

We lack leaders who will speak truth like this in real life. Great show though - sadly it resonates even more in present times.

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?
Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

They are not following any laws or established process - this is the point ppl are making. Not that the gov doesn’t have power, but that they are not exercising it in a lawful and proper manner. Gov is wrong here and I hope all the criminals involved are held responsible by our next democratic gov.

Sure, the government has power to do almost anything against anyone, including a green card holder, but the point of living in a nation where there is the rule of law is that the gov is supposed to follows laws and proper procedures that absolutely do apply to gov actions.

Unlawful. Outrageous. Thank you for reporting on this. I hope lawyers are keeping a list of who to prosecute for all these crimes committed by this current government.

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.
The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.

Yes. This horrifying situation has opened my eyes to the fact that we aren’t free and we don’t have a representative government that reflects the average needs and wants of its citizens. In poll after poll a supermajority of Americans disapprove of what’s happening & yet our government ignores us.💔

It really breaks my heart so bad. Why do we all feel totally helpless , this is insane to allow, I thought USA was the most powerful country in the world so this couldn’t happens without our consent, correct? Do we concerned citizens have no power left at all to change this? Enough is enough 😔
