Can the Manhattan Project avoid building the nuclear bomb?

The IDF executed two Palestinian men in Jenin. They verified that they were unarmed, told them to walk back to the building, and then shot them dead.

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts

2/ Hamas leaders tell Drop Site Witkoff is inventing history. “No. What he’s saying, I don’t know, but we didn’t say that,” senior leader Osama Hamdan told Jeremy Scahill. “The whole delegation was there and no one said that.” Any real discussion, he added, “will take time… We have to talk with...

1/ At a Nov. 6 Miami business conference, Trump adviser Steve Witkoff told investors the U.S. is “in the middle of standing up a decommissioning process” for Gaza’s weapons – a “demilitarization and amnesty program.” He claimed Hamas already committed to disarmament and told Jared Kushner...

🧵THREAD: Drop Site journalists @jeremyscahill.com & Jawa Ahmad warn that Trump’s Gaza plan contains a “Disarmament Trap.” The U.S. and Israel – now backed by a stamp of approval from the UN and the widely unpopular Palestinian Authority – are attempting to use the new resolution to secure a...

since we're talking about pirating art it is ethical and even good to pirate work if paying for it would violate BDS. unrelatedly there are high quality episodes of Andor available on torrenting sites

Even in the US where the word is meaningless, I still find that it has a stricter use in actual news media than in Israel. In Israel, in the Hebrew press in particular, even in the straightforward "news" sections, "terrorist" is used to describe any Arab combatant, even if they attack only the IDF.

A new kind of rapid Chotining. Please appreciate the alt-text.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union. They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration. More updates TK.

(this comic is from 1982)

to be clear it is also a racial slur in western countries in addition to being a propaganda tool and diplomatic tool which is why it should be avoided in journalism unless it's describing another entity's designation. a news outlet should not be engaging in propaganda, diplomacy or racist incitement

The important context left out of most western reporting on the region is that in Israel, "terrorist" is a racial slur

what’s funny (it’s not funny) is how many indie journalists, who—with next to none of the infrastructure propping up the zz’s of the business—not only report incisively on political power but do so without leaving years of embarrassing receipts about their relationships with subjects and sources

what's everyone talking about, not something stupid right

Do not get caught up in his charisma (mostly talking to myself) !! Any NYC mayor needs to feel our heat to reduce the NYPD's power hellgatenyc.com/mamdani-dodg...

"that's okay you can just say yes"

the only compliment i will ever give him but "that's okay you can just say yes" is actually funniest line i have heard in a political press conference

i hope everyone had fun libbing out and is prepared to restore the time tested nyc tradition of bullying the mayor if he does not dismantle the SRG

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes. So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1/

all the AI slop out there makes me want the most aggressively analog stories out there. like I want a one-of-a-kind homemade zine someone tucked into a baggie in the hollow of a tree, and I want that zine to include a shitty hand drawn map to a treasure it may or may not take 30 years to find

"We have a 2000s housing bubble level of financial engineering on top of a 1920s level of private unregulated lending on top of something bigger than a 1990s internet (or 1870s railroad) level of technology and infrastructure build-out. It’s one bubble to rule them all." prospect.org/2025/11/19/a...

Israel just hit the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, Ain al Hilweh, with missiles. It’s a dense camp with the presence of many Palestinian factions but also many civilians.

what's everyone talking about, not something stupid right

As one of the 3 dozen people on here who actually pay attention to this issue and MENA more broadly as a job it is still very amusing to see people think it's the left who loves this plan. The most voracious defenders of it are Blob careerists or their orbiters— Blinken, McGurk, Lindsey Graham, etc.

Like me

The Israeli occupation army invaded a village of over 150 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and detained *literally every single person, man woman and child* for hours.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

posted an update- i predict we have seven* weeks left before getting kicked out. maybe the judge will have pity and give us more time, but she was giving everyone else two weeks. *i think i said 5 in the update, i did the math wrong. our next court date is in 5 weeks

NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week. prospect.org/2025/11/14/e...

which identities are not everyday americans mr. buttigieg just speak them aloud

The Israeli occupation has blown up several buildings in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City this evening/ early morning, according to Palestinian Information Center.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Here's another piece about how Portland's methods, ie sweeps without bountiful supportive housing and services for people to be "swept" into, do not work, and kill people www.propublica.org/article/port...

Verified footage shows Israeli settlers torching Palestinian factories near Tulkarem in occupied WB, Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking unit reports. Security video from the Al-Lada’in industrial zone near Beit Lid shows...settlers attacking the site, w/ 2 vehicles seen burning after the assault.

i knew it would be bad but i didn’t know it would be comically bad newrepublic.com/post/203018/...

Im so exhausted yall, I dont know how to tell you how desperate our friends in Gaza are, because prices haven't gone down, aid is not flowing freely, there is no infrastructure and no work, but no one is donating. The horrors continue, the stress accumulates and they are all confused and frustrated

New — Israeli forces just killed this Palestinian boy. Last month, he and his family were harvesting olives. Soldiers bombarded them with tear gas, making him collapse. He was in critical condition until today. He is the 47th kid killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank this year.

My gosh — After Israeli forces tear-gassed this kid, making him collapse, other soldiers then "detained the ambulance carrying Aysam from the Beita Emergency Center to Nablus for several minutes, interrogating the driver about Aysam’s injury, location, and cause before it was allowed to continue."

Literally what is the plan for next year when no one has health insurance other than state level Medicaid for All

when the democrats have even lost the centrists

I'll never forget former LA mayor Eric Garcetti saying, "In a good economy, homelessness goes up." A perfect illustration of what happens when "the economy" is measured by everything except people's ability to meet their most essential material needs.

Hell open land borders was pretty standard (outside of war) in pretty much all of the western world and America for most of history. The idea of "illegal border crossing," or even passports with pictures becoming a thing, only became a "concern" in the 1920s

1. This is stolen land. We have no moral right to exclude anyone. 2. "Illegal immigration" is a product of 20th century racism; your forebears came "legally" because there was no such thing as "illegal immigration" then. 3. Open borders are good. Borders are racist and colonial violence.

My entire life Republicans’ game has been to stymy, undercut & undermine when Democrats have power so they can point to the resulting failings as evidence progressive policies are dysfunctional & then they get power & aggressively gut every social gain & Dems are still like ‘maybe we can negotiate’

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous
