Terribly grim report. Violations the ceasefire that are explosive get the most attention but the daily determination of Israel to continue blocking aid into Gaza, despite signing an agreement to allow in massive amounts, is just as deadly, maybe even more so. www.middleeasteye.net/news/patient...

“we will rule you forever with an iron fist of suffering” is maybe not the most compelling message any administration has ever had

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city. So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

SCOOP: A classified U.S. report finds a backlog of "hundreds" of possible Israeli human rights violations in Gaza that will take "years" to review, raising doubts about future accountability. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"When history is written as it ought to be written, it is the moderation and long patience of the masses at which men will wonder, not their ferocity." - CLR James, "The Black Jacobins"

kind of hate seeing people on my TL glorifying the firebombing of Dresden and the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as some kind of warning to the current US administration

Hi friends 👋🏾 I'm raising funds for North Kordofan ERR, which is in dire need of support. The situation in areas like Bara, Sheikan & Alrahad is extremely dire. Summary in the thread below. Every little bit helps: paypal.me/BSonblast Ven/Cash: BSonblast #KeepEyesOnSudan

French bakery in Bed-Stuy offers free breakfast to SNAP card holders

Good morning, my brothers. For the past two weeks, I haven't received enough donations, and I believe this is because we aren't sharing my story effectively. Therefore, please, my brothers, quote my story and share it. I am not well. bit.ly/help-mohamed

The strength of Platner's fundraising and his polling even after all this came out should speak to the electoral potential of attacking billionaires and advocating for strong social programs. an unfortunate number of leftists have concluded "only this one guy can sell this platform to voters"

I’m crying www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

If you’re in the Baltimore area, and need to cut food costs, there’s a program run by Catholic Charities called Share Food. It’s basically a bulk buying & volunteer packing community that gets you a 50% discount on groceries. I used the Denver version for years, and never saw any proselytizing.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

if you are in: -New Jersey -New York City -Nassau County, NY (my condolences, and also move ASAP) -Virginia -Georgia -California -Seattle -Cleveland -Detroit -Minneapolis -Buffalo -Boston -idk there are more but I'm running out of characters make sure you vote on or before Tuesday!

gotta start here imo. a painstakingly detailed account of the Gwangju Democratization Movement/rebellion/massacre compiled underground by witnesses, activists, and intelligentsia amid a ferocious crackdown under the Chun government

I still talk to people who think Trump is obviously good for the US economy. The amount of actual exposure to real current affairs most people get is microscopic. It's all just vibes out there.

I'm seeing non-Sudanese on here say they don't know where to get daily news reports on Sudan - Sudanese outlets that also report in English include: Radio Dabanga, Ayin Network, and Sudan Tribune (links: www.dabangasudan.org/en, 3ayin.com/en/, sudantribune.com). 1/

Heartbreaking: “Nathaniel Redmond, director of the Yale school of public health, said on Tuesday that the “horror, scale, and velocity of killing” in El Fasher had left pools of blood visible from satellites.”

“Join the Shirriffs! Serve the Big Chief! Arrest your neighbors! Scour the Shire!”

It should go without saying that these mass internment camps will be much, much more expensive to operate than just giving the homeless free or subsidized housing would be.

the purpose of this is openly to create an all-white army capable of using lethal force on american citizens

Hello brothers, at this time of year in previous years we would be busy harvesting olives. Now I live in a tent smaller than the area covered by a single tree. What a tragedy! We look at the pictures and grieve. Please share and donate. chuffed.org/project/help...

US intelligence agencies confirm that UAE has redoubled its weapons supply to the RSF this year. "The war would be over if not for the UAE. The only thing keeping RSF in this war is the overwhelming military support they’re getting from the UAE." #Sudan #BDStheUAE

Graham Platner’s campaign thought they could silence me by offering me money and calling me a liar in the press. I was going to let it go. It has become increasingly clear they are unfamiliar with Maine women.

tiny thing amidst all the horrors, but has anyone considered review bombing twitter? im sure we could easily get that rating down to at least a 4. will it make any difference? idk but itd def be funny.

Today's quick update [Oct 28]: - RSF attack reported on Jabal Alhashaba, southwest of ElObeid in North Kordofan (red). - Joint Forces: over 2,000 civilians killed by RSF in Elfashir (blue) over a 48 hour period. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

Jesus fucking Christ…. This may be the most soul crushing thing I have read today. Those poor kids.

I realize that a lot of people who follow me mqy not understand the flood reference: in the halo series, the flood is a gruesome cosmic horror horde of zombies. so that’s what they’re comparing immigrants to

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is set to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis. What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

If you are hungry and have a Sikh temple in your city, they offer langar, a free vegetarian communal meal to anyone regardless of religion or belief.

Sorry I can't get over this but it's just so funny to say "The test starts off with giraffes and elephants but the questions get way harder than that"

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

Genuinely what the fuck is going on in Albania

El Fasher resistance committees reporting that large numbers of volunteers in community kitchens were martyred as they tried to help civilians amidst fighting. This comes on the back of mass captures and executions by the RSF reported in the last 24 hours since the RSF captured the city.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

NEW: "The company’s estimates therefore suggest that every seven days, around 560,000 people may be exchanging messages with ChatGPT that indicate they are experiencing mania or psychosis." @lmatsakis.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/chatgp...

"Same-sex couples in South Korea can now be counted as “spouses” in the national census — a simple checkbox that, for many, marks long-overdue recognition in a country that still denies them legal marriage."

There is a reason SNAP requires you to work a minimum number of hours, something no true welfare program does — it’s designed for people who work full-time and still can’t afford to eat. There is a very clear group taking advantage of this system and they sure aren’t the ones at risk of starving.

Prayers for the people and land of Jamaica. Ancestors protect her. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Nevermind DC... this is as much rainfall as *Kingston, Jamaica* receives in a normal year. That's right -- some parts of Jamaica will receive a year's worth of rainfall this week, and then get hit with 120mph+ sustained winds for hours on end as Hurricane Melissa makes landfall.

Tap through to this thread to see yet another example of academics (a) blaming “STEM” for their problems despite the fact that the Trump regime has declared war on science funding too and (b) apparently calling economics a STEM field as explicitly opposed to both the liberal arts and social sciences

It hasn't gotten as much traction on here because it's not as dramatic, but the fight against the Everglades detention center is ongoing, and hasn't ever stopped.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Gee, I can’t imagine why…
