NEW from Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Noor: “This felt like a kidnapping because it was: Officers in plainclothes — who refused to show us a warrant, speak with our attorney, or even tell us their names — forced my husband into an unmarked car and took him” Says they didn’t know where he was for 38 hours

This is long-awaited news. Hoping it actually leads to an official definition, and some recognition of the daily incidents of hate and microaggression that Muslims face.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

‘I couldn’t care less if I saw another sunrise’ – what older people who are ‘tired of life’ can tell us about the assisted dying debate
In our interviews with older people over the past 15 years, some have described the phenomenon of ‘tiredness of life’ in a matter-of-fact way – as though they are talking about the weather.

The debate would do well to learn from age-affirming cultures and faiths. Great article, but no mention of what we can learn from non-Western that surround their older folk with compassion and love, and give them life-affirming reasons to live.

For those familiar with the murders, executions, and enforced disappearances and torture in post-9/11 Pakistan - such videos of the military are not surprising at all based on testimony we gathered over the last 23 years. It’s just that it’s now being caught on video.

You’re not violating a reading rule if you opt not to finish a book that's not resonating with you. Life is finite and we thus have a finite number of books to read. Reading shouldn’t be a chore. You needn’t feel guilty for ensuring that your time reading is spent reading things that you love.

Photos are circulating on social media, alongside reports that the Israeli army is rounding up and blindfolding Palestinian doctors, nurses, and patients outside a hospital in northern Gaza. Some of those detained are seen with catheter bags, nasogastric tubes, IV drips, and crutches.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Media blackout as the UN Special Committee calls Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide. Meanwhile, Israel plans to annex the West Bank by 2025, bans UNRWA, and the U.S. ramps up efforts to crush the Palestinian movement. This is a full-scale assault on the very existence of Palestinians.
