I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

WSJ when an American conservative gets killed versus when Arab children get killed:

Going to #APSA2025 ? Here is a handy list of Palestine-related panels at the conference this year.

Open access: @marxinhell.bsky.social’s very thoughtful review of my @princetonupress.bsky.social book.

Why would you think this? Why, if you thought it, would you type it out and share it with the world? (If you can't read it, the UEFA statement says "Stop killing children. Stop killing civilians")

Great thread on housing in NYC. Landlords want renters to shoulder the debt accrued by landlords, and get pissy about Mamdani because his rent freeze policy would prevent them from offloading their debt costs as they wish.

Incredible that between the Cuomo boys Andrew is the smart one.

Its so amazing how pathetic these people are

Mamdani is going to win by 50 points.

Finally, some good news

The first "famine" in history where the occupying power could probably give any of the victims a still-warm Domino's Pizza at any time if it wanted to:

There is a new Chotiner interview that really underscores what is unique about Israel's genocide in Gaza: it would be very easy for the world to stop it if only a few countries wanted to.

Notably, these guidelines never say anything to substantiate their claim that "generative AI tools offer significant opportunities to improve teaching and student learning."

Another Josh Marshall classic:

Ms. Rachel remains braver than the troops and better than every politician

Many of your faves!

The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.

He's describing what was done to establish the state of Israel but admitting that it would create legitimate grievances from people already living there.

Starving child has pre-existing health problems. The NYT does not disappoint.

This is so perfect. "Dead Center" and he's so far to the right that he's half off the cover

Essential questions that I want to see someone try to answer.

We have had 20 months of prominent people not just supporting genocide but actively "opposing the opposers" and ruining the lives of people who did and fuck all those people if they get upset because people post mean thing about them on websites that don't mattter

"Israel is putting its heart into the liquidation of the Palestinians. How much more intent can there be?" Ori Goldberg on Twitter, commenting on the dramatic acceleration of severe malnutrition and starvation in Gaza. If you think things have been horrifying, it's getting much worse.

Any help to Israeli missile defences lowers the cost of acting unreasonably. They bomb civilians because they know they are protected from the worst of the return fire. Leave them defenceless and they will act more reasonably. t.co/BuB9yTIKRU

A lot of people on here from Gaza are in Deir al Balah which just got evacuation orders for most of it

AOC is wrong on this. Iron Dome absolutely allows Israel to keep killing Palestinians with impunity.

Fun politics fact: Zohran Mamdani got 2.4 times as many votes in the mayoral primary as Hakeem Jeffries got in the highest-turnout general election of his career

Honored to have had the venerable Marx scholar, @marxinhell.bsky.social, engage my book so thoughtfully in Political Theory. Will draws some important fault lines in thinking through both the problematizations of and resolutions to economic inequality.

it gives away what the question is FOR, too, that not being *trapped* by the question is to have "dodged" it

Supporting this has become ingroup signaling in politics - all major parties - and journalism. The right people support it and the wrong people don't. Choose your career path

America too. The "oh i will just stop talking about this now" crowd are the fucking worst

Be nice if more news agencies picked this up

I am not open to the idea that the US should attack Iran.

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facility—but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him. #mapoli #Massachusetts

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

To lose one fighter jet is a tragedy. To lose two begins to look like carelessness.

This, from Holly Lewis, is excellent.

A nice (unwitting) demonstration of the universalizing (if never completed) tendency of basic political rights: if due process is only for citizens, then no citizen has due process, since the police can call them an alien and disappear them without a hearing.

We really do have an open genocidaire in Congress.

Raymond Chandler, letter to a friend, January 1948. Seems relevant beyond the specific Hollywood context.

Yeah, they have identified with the Empire and with Vader for a while. Here's the head of the Premier Sector of the USBP on Twitter.

Just found out that Marx's Inferno will be appearing in Spanish translation in 2026 from Edicions Bellaterra. And, if you haven't read it on English yet, now is a good time to get it, since PUP is having a 50% off sale right now.

In 2010, Senator Chuck Schumer called on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to investigate whether the Gaza aid flotilla that Israel attacked was tied to Al Qaeda

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne. The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews. Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.
