The image here borrows its title from Grant's 1868 presidential campaign slogan, "Let us have peace." Here's what Frederick Douglass had to say about that sentiment.

In typical @nytimes genocide-friendly style, they label Kiros as a "former lawyer," without mentioning that: a) she's actually still a lawyer; and, b) she was fired by her law firm for defending the right to protest the genocide.

literally one day apart. goldfish would scoff at this lack of object permanence

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

The best part about Hillary Clinton‘s genocidal cheerleading for Trump‘s Gaza plan is that she pretends to be genuinely unaware that the whole thing is another obvious scam.

In a commencement address at Berkeley, some connections between film theory, Carrie Mae Weems, the current battle to stop the Paramount Warner merger, AI-fueled technofascism, and the ongoing struggle for justice in Israel/Palestine, among other things. open.substack.com/pub/tedhope/...

this really stuck out to me, too.

So many people focused on Bari Weiss asking to make protesters look more violent and glossing over Pelley admitting they’d already dug deep for the most violent protester footage they could find. His interview is more of an indictment of corporate media than many want to admit.

Today’s the day. So proud to have been a part of this wonderful writers room. I learned so much from Will and Jeff and the entire team - they proved that great work can be done in a truly kind and supportive environment. I hope you can feel their generosity as you watch the show!

For @palfest.bsky.social and @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social, I wrote about how the genocide in Gaza has hit Hollywood as a political and labor issue, with many unsure whether vanished opportunities reflect retaliation or simply an industry in free fall. With support from @economichardship.bsky.social

Kinda weird no one's calling this World War Trump. He's just exploding shit all throughout the world with no care for second order effects. It really is just him vs. everybody, and you'll only be spared if you seed intimidating shirtless AI pictures of your own country's dictator onto TruthSocial.

We're excited to announce the world premiere of The Wedding Banquet in 2027! Composed by Huang Ruo with libretto by James Schamus, the opera is inspired by the beloved 1993 film and the reimagined version that debuted earlier this year. Learn more at seattleopera.org/weddingbanquet

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

Think about this: The leader of the Senate Democrats just voted against 85% of his caucus all to keep sending bulldozers to Israel, so it can continue to demolish Palestinian and Lebanese people's homes.

Trailer dropped! So honored to have been a writer and small part of the creative team behind this wonderful show, hatched from the brilliant minds of Will Matthews and Jeffrey Addis, two of the kindest and most generous show runners you could ever ask for. youtu.be/cL-HUAbenBk?...

Israel has a constitutional definition for "Jewish State": it's the 2018 "Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People", which was condemned as dangerously illiberal by mainstream diaspora orgs - even the ADL. But that's the legal definition, anchored in legislation and policy.

"It's unlikely that he would've been able to, given Waffle House's sealing jutsu," said Hiruzen Sarutobi, who holds the Sandaime Chair of Ninjutsu Studies at Leaf University. "But some Sharingan users have been able to use unconventional space-time techniques, so we can't rule it out."

Israel is systematically targeting centers for ambulances. According to the ministry of health, at least 52 ambulances and medical vehicles have been hit, 19 medical and ambulatory centers damaged, and emergency services targeted in 79 separate attacks.

This just about sums it up

I have followed @attackerman.bsky.social's hard-hitting War on Terror journalism for almost 2 decades. But the tenderness of this piece of reporting on Gaza's hospitals is both beautiful and heart-breaking.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

Oh man, who knows where this will lead, but at the least we may get to read some VERY interesting emails from and to Columbia's oligarchic trustees and their lieutenants: Court Finds Columbia May Have Acted as Government’s Instrument to Suppress Palestinian Advocacy www.cair-ny.org/news/3/19/26...
