LLMs hallucinate because they are trained to produce a response and there's not really a penalty for the response being wrong. It's suited to the goals of the CEOs running the companies building them. They're the kind of guys who want to hear reasonable-sounding things. Not "I'm not sure."

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca. This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

Congressman Kweisi Mfume claimed his constituents aren’t asking him to stop the bombs to Israel. Let’s make it impossible for him to say that again. Children in Gaza are starving while Congress funds more bombs. Flood Mfume’s office with calls and demand he Stops Sending Bombs. Call: (202) 225-4741

"To my colleagues in mainstream media: your silence is complicity. Your 'boths-sides-ism' is complicty. Your euphemisms for genocide is complicity." From my speech accepting the 'Path of Truth' award from Palestinian diaspora group KTH. Full speech: zeteo.com/p/palestine-...

A group of New Jersey lawmakers are condemning the treatment of visitors to Delaney Hall, after reports found that visitors have been made to wait outside, sometimes in temperatures nearing 100 degrees, for seven to 12 hours, and are then still not allowed to visit their loved ones.

The Pariah State

[ WATCH ] Navi Pillay, chairwoman of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, says Israeli leaders’ statements and the destruction on the ground prove intent.

The violence of apartheid across the West Bank isn't just physical. Israel relies on constant psychological warfare to terrorize rural Palestinian communities and make them live with the perpetual dread of army raids and settler pogroms.

China’s “biased impartiality,” which privileges the Israeli regime, drives its strategic distancing from the genocide in Gaza. This position is not simply the result of US dominance over Israel-related affairs but a calculated decision to protect China’s long-term interests.

"The road... is filled with people fleeing unpredictable falling bombs, the continuous attacks on their homes, public facilities and shelters." Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud describes the grim situation as Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City and forcibly displaces Palestinians.

Report from independent conflict tracker Acled indicates one of the highest civilian death rates since start of war

Israeli forces have killed Al-Shifa Hospital nurse Ashraf Mohammed Abu-Mohsin in an airstrike on his home on Al-Moghrabi Street in Gaza City’s Al-Sabra neighborhood. The strike came without warning, killing him, his wife, and their children. Source: Healthcare Workers Watch

BREAKING: At least 71 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, including 56 people in Gaza City, hospital sources in the besieged enclave told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/nu10uv

No amount of convincing and irrefutable evidence of the genocide will convince Western leaders to halt support for Israel, because it isn't in their interests. The only thing that will stop the genocide is to make it more costly than profitable.

I’m speaking this weekend at Beth-El Mennonite Church in Colorado Springs. All around the building, there are murals and art made from chopped up guns. Welcome signs. And then this one on the front door: “Come back with a warrant.” Making it clear to ICE… in embroidery. Mennonites are great.

Watch: Senator Peter Welch makes a powerful appeal for action to stop the suffering in Gaza. @welch.senate.gov

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims. Canadian media struggles with this too. Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host. It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

Key progressive lawmaker becomes the first US senator to describe Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

New | NBC News reports that ICE officers who shot and killed Silverio Villegas González in Franklin Park, Chicago, were not wearing body cameras. ICE policy requires cameras where issued, but rollout remains incomplete despite billions in new funding.

“When we are all so overwhelmed by the brutality of the world, it’s a tempting fantasy that if we say the right things, or adopt the right ideas, then we are no longer complicit." – JVP Director of Grassroots Organizing, Jemma Pasch, speaking at the People’s Conference for Palestine.

The invading army is set to deploy 'unprecedented' number of the remote-controlled vehicles designed to cause widespread destruction and terror

"Whether it was being the only Democrat to travel to Mar-a-Lago, or supporting Trump’s $200 million ballroom expansion, Fetterman has found himself standing side-by-side with Trump on numerous occasions," keystonenewsroom.com/2025/09/15/f...

It is disproportionate to the point of absurdity to treat people sitting peacefully in a group holding signs as ‘terrorists’. People are outraged by the genocide in Gaza and are entitled to express their horror. Call on UK prosecutors to end these prosecutions: amn.st/63329ARB1U

In a rare admission, Netanyahu said that Israel is facing isolation on the world stage after nearly two years of its genocide in Gaza — but blamed foreign countries and Muslims without acknowledging his own government’s role in the situation.

NEW EPISODE On this episode, we speak with political strategist and human rights activist, Ashish Prashar about Airbnb’s role in occupation and how we can work towards corporate accountability.

Israeli forces bombed a residential building, causing fires to spread in an intense night of Israeli attacks on Gaza City. The army says its forces are “increasing the pace of attacks” and told hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to move south.

Smotrich went further, unveiling a plan to annex 82 percent of the West Bank into Israel that would leave only six fragmented Palestinian population centers as isolated bantustans. “Preventing a Palestinian state is an Israeli consensus”

Congratulations to Rev. Jonathan Britt, a member of the Fridays @ Fetterman’s Leadership Team, who led a delegation from the First Presbyterian Church of Lansdowne that met with Representative Scanlon at her Chester office this past July. The advocacy paid off!

Two Philadelphia-area Congressional Representatives —Rep. Madeleine Dean and Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon have signed on as co-sponsors of the Block the Bombs Act – H.R. 3565! Please call to thank them. Dean: 202-225-4731(D.C) 215-884-4300 (Local) Scanlon: 202-225-2011(D.C) 610-626-2020 (Local)

More than 7,000 under-fives in Gaza put in malnutrition recovery in two-week period

Gaza is starving — and we cannot look away. We must do more to end this man-made suffering and save innocent lives.

Most New Yorkers are not aware companies contributing to the Gaza genocide operate in their backyard, but at least two are housed in the city-operated Brooklyn Navy Yard. Now, activists and local residents are banding together to get them evicted. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/acti... #Palestine #Israel

"Total impunity and lack of empathy have made life for Gazans an inferno. The latest plague is a manmade famine. It can be reversed.... In Cairo today, I called again for an immediate ceasefire..." — UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

According to UN data, between 12 and 20 August, intensified Israeli military operations in Gaza city forced over 16,000 people to be displaced. But nowhere is safe in #Gaza. There must be a #CeasefireNow.

We remember Karim Marwan Hamad, 9, who brought joy and laughter to our learning spaces until an airstrike took his life. afsc.org/news/childs-...

Famine has been officially declared in Gaza, after officials finally determined that Israel’s almost two year long, near-total blockade on the 2 million Palestinians in the Strip has created conditions so horrific they surpass those needed for a famine declaration.

A group of Palestinian children had fun playing with a parachute that was used to air drop humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The ruling sided with environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe, who had filed a suit alleging that the facility built in the Florida Everglades violated federal environmental laws.
