What kind of ceasefire is this?

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, in case anyone was wondering.

An incredible speech by @marisakabas.bsky.social, and a tale of failed leadership that has shaped the situation journalism finds itself in today. www.thehandbasket.co/p/grennell-c...

And while the single most important thing right now is saving Palestinian life, Trump’s deal does nothing to address the root cause of injustice: Israel’s brutal military rule and oppression of Palestinians. Read our full statement in the attached images or at jvp.org/ceasefire2025

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel. That's all erased now.

We have arrived at an unspeakable place: two years of genocide.

Ford’s cabinet ministers don’t like being told to obey the law, so they want to get rid of speed cameras so they can continue to pose a safety risk to children walking to school without facing any consequences. globalnews.ca/news/1146373...

Mainstreaming eugenics. 😬

I passed by the Ministry of Defense today. Netanyahu is seeking peace: This is located in the heart of Damascus.

Let’s give the same energy to @karenattiah.bsky.social as we did to Jimmy Kimmel! Fight like hell for everyone, ESPECIALLY black women! The attacks on free speech and media have been happening since the start of this administration. Let’s rally against all of it!

My dearest wife, It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze.

Canada “committed to the global Arms Trade Treaty in 2019, which bars exports known to facilitate genocide, crimes against humanity, breaches of the Geneva Conventions, or attacks on civilians.” chrishouston.ca/stories-of-p...

i'm very much in love with him

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer’s poem “If I Must Die” has echoed across the world since his killing—translated by volunteers into dozens of languages. We share it here in English & Arabic. inthesetimes.com/article/refa...

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

"In Libya I was arrested. In prison they would ask for $500 to stop beating us, but I had no money. Some women were abused and raped." - This is what a 17-year-old girl from Eritrea told us after she crossed the Mediterranean. 🌊 https://searchandrescue.msf.org/humans-in-transit.html

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people? That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago. He still has his job.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

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"

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in a 142–10 vote to support a two-state solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict. To no surprise, the US opposed it, blaming France for the collapse of a ceasefire because of its plans to recognize Palestinian statehood.

“Kirk was not an example of healthy political discourse, and we should not pretend otherwise just because he was the victim of what appears to be more senseless political violence.” www.liberalcurrents.com/not-all-vict...

Nepal is in the news. The reality is nuanced. My friend is there. They sent me this and asked me to share. Warning: violence. chrishouston.ca/stories-of-p...

If you want to condemn political violence, then you should condemn ICE violence, stripping people of Medicaid coverage and killing thousands as a result, destroying public health systems that will kill thousands more, deploying the National Guard against US residents, etc.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

In the past 36 hours, Israel has bombed: • Palestine (Gaza) • Syria (Homs, Latakia, Palmyra) • Lebanon (Hermel, Bekaa) • Tunisia (aid flotilla) • Qatar (Doha) • Yemen (Sanaa)

One extremely niche thing I wish I had time to write about involves the Kawhi Leonard scandal (a fraudulent tree planting company used to circumvent the NBA Salary cap) and its connection to the design industry scam that is nature based solutions + natural carbon sequestration.

Just plain old racism.

Congratulations to Cory Doctorow, for coining an all-too-useful word.

This is op/ed is a hot mess but let's focus on one specific false claim from Oren Cass. He wrote: "the crops are not rotting in the fields" But yes, Oren, they are. Crops are rotting in the fields.

You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *’migrants * www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.

This applies to EVERY CITY. Tax the rich Toronto! The rich people won't leave.

Tuesday the 19th of August was the 17th annual World Humanitarian Day. And, it was probably the grimmest one yet. Attacks on aid workers, respect for the Geneva Conventions, and feelings of international solidarity are at an all time low. chrishouston.ca/stories-of-p...

NOW: Over 100,000 people on the streets of Tel Aviv after a day of disruption! NO to the killing, NO to the abandonment. Right now all of us must act with all our strength against the extremists who want us to despair and to think they can’t be stopped. We won’t back down!

It would cost an estimated $18 billion per year to house every homeless person in American. Elon Musk's pay in 2025 is $29 billion. Tax. 👏🏻 The. 👏🏻 Rich. 👏🏻

This was a hospital. It was bombed by Israel. A few minutes later, when health care workers came to provide relief, Israel bombed it again. 20 people were killed. This is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Just to be clear, this was the scene they aimed at a fraction of a second before the munition hit. It’s all on video. This is my screenshot. The next moment, everything explodes.

a....camera?

"Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict." 1949 Geneva Convention IV www.un.org/en/genocidep...
