Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Israel’s Yellow Line in Gaza has shifted. Israel now controls 59% of the territory, up from 53% in October when the “ceasefire” came into effect. The IDF is entrenching its presence in the area, so the Yellow Line could become a new de facto permanent border.

The brutality of the Israeli regime knows no boundaries. They kill almost at random and make life impossible for those that survive the killings. While the U.S. is the most important protector of this rogue state, most European countries have done nothing to hold it accountable either.

Must have been for love, as no senior in their right mind would ditch the French health care system for ours.

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Lansing, Michigan, is one of two cities where Malcolm X crosses MLK. (The other is Washington, D.C.) Malcolm spent his formative years in the area and still has family there.

Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage. Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.

I am quoted in this AI slop story from some outlet called The American Bazaar. Not only did I not say this vague/meaningless quote. I have never seen the ad in question nor have I ever received any communication from this so-called “reporter.”

The feds slapped all kinds of labels on Chicago's Juan Espinoza Martinez when they arrested him last fall. They called him "depraved" and a "thug." But Thursday, a jury called him "not guilty." From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

If Democrats aren’t whipping votes against ICE funding, and letting conservative members vote to pass it, it means the Democratic Party supports ICE funding. If your opposition to fascism is performative, then you don’t actually oppose fascism.
