Ben Smith: "What you saw with Mahmoud Khalil is that in some ways he is *less* vulnerable than Jimmy Kimmel. The people who are most vulnerable are the employees of big consolidated megacorporations—" Chris Hayes: "Yeah, although he's about to get deported."

The world is a shitty place and everything is dying. But I just stumbled on this wonderful piece by the amazing Lina Mounzer and it made things feel a little bit richer and more savory and sad. But the good kind. Just for a moment. themarkaz.org/mamas-kitchen/

In Turkey, this is called "havuz medyası" ("pool media"). It is achieved via: 1) Vertical dissemination of narratives from the government 2) Political economy ties that incentivize private channels' compliance PLUS 3) Intimidation that combine to produce (often anticipatory) compliance

Excellent. Any inch we give is gone. It's time to dig in.

It's years too late and needs teeth, but I hope this can at least save some lives before it's too late for them too.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hanan. Before this Hanan was a homemaker and her husband drove a taxi. Hanan asked me if I liked Bayern Munich- because they liked to watch soccer. They’re trying to keep their children Jihad, 16, Rima, 14, Abed, 11 and Sama, 8 alive.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Spend weeks writing conference paper ✅ Send kid to first week of school ✅ Kid gets sick ✅ I get sick day before the conference ✅ Sigh.

A story from Gaza written by my friend, Yousef Between a shattered door, furniture sold as firewood, and a tent that costs $900… he tells the details of life between two impossible choices: staying under bombardment or displacement into the unknown. electronicintifada.net/content/deat...

The more we learn about this, the more it seems like a disgusting echo of the "collateral murder" helicopter massacre in Iraq in the early years of the 2nd US war on that country. The difference is this one was done entirely for a spectacle, whereas the Iraq one was your everyday 🇺🇸 pilot bloodlust

If this was a just world, the Hague and Hell would be full. Instead, war criminals get to shake hands with the Pope and Palestinians get gunned down for trying to collect their dead loved ones

This is fantastic news, congratulations!

For two years, we’ve been trying to survive hell. Two years of running, hiding, starving, and hoping. We lost our homes. We have lost our universities. We lost our sense of safety, and parts of our souls that may never heal…..:: 🙏💔 GFM : gofund.me/459d365f

Western academics now speak of ‘genocide’ with newfound authority. Why weren’t our voices enough?

So, the antivaxxers

Live your life in such a way that no one can accurately describe you as a plague.

The Israeli uprooted 10,000 olive trees in al-Mughayyir during a three-day siege of the Palestinian village. The Israeli army said uprooting the trees was meant to "deter" village residents and make them "pay a heavy price." mondoweiss.net/2025/08/isra... #Palestine #Israel
