“Cynicism about the system slips into nihilism that serves the system.” -Tim Snyder in On Freedom

The war in Gaza has killed 186 journalists as of Aug 11, 2025. This is the highest number ever recorded in any war. 🚨

It is more than the total journalists killed in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, the Yugoslav Wars, and Afghanistan combined. ⚖️📸💔

Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha says he’s been suspended from Substack, a platform where white supremacists publish without issue. I can’t recall this happening to any prominent writers in the past.

Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil was released after three months in immigration detention, following a judge’s ruling to free him amid growing backlash against the Trump administration’s crackdown on Palestine solidarity campus protests.

Jews have lived in Jerusalem for millennia. Today a lot of them are staunch anti-Zionists, living in essentially a ghetto in the centre of Jerusalem.

While Israelis were celebrating Independence day, anti-Zionist Jews gathered for a demonstration, which was brutally suppressed by Israeli police:

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge “Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

Israel is assassinating journalists in Gaza — and Western media’s silence enables it.

On March 24, Israel killed two more reporters: Hossam Shabat and Mohammad Mansour.

This isn’t “crossfire.” This is a kill list. 🧵

The $400,000,000 Trump is withholding from Columbia University is no arbitrary amount. It was the amount Donald wanted Columbia to pay him for land he owned. They refused. And Donald was furious. That was 25 years ago. And petty Donald has not forgotten.

Genocide.
