Last night, the US military invaded a quiet residential neighborhood in Pasadena for a “training exercise” that went until 1AM. Mayor Victor Gordo didn’t inform residents until right before and supposedly the military didn’t tell the city until yesterday

HORRIFIC: Israeli settlers attacked the village of Baytin in the West Bank, setting tens of olive trees on fire.

The Israeli army is blocking fire trucks from reaching the site.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists are attacking the village of Shouqba right now — setting fields and vehicles on fire, storming a soccer field, and beating children.

Residents are pleading for help from neighboring villages.

Gaza this night.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.

How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.

[The Sameer Project @sameerproject]

Every day Palestinians in Gaza think about where to get food from, where to find water - but few think about the men who wake up every day to clean the streets, remove garbage, and prevent disease from spreading in a place where the occupation has systematically destroyed sanitation infrastructure and waste management systems.

Their work is exhausting. The piles of waste grow larger, resources are scarce, and the conditions become more dangerous by the day. Yet they continue because they believe that cleanliness is part of faith, part of dignity, and part of caring for their community.

These sanitation workers are often unseen and rarely thanked. But Gaza would not function without them.

As part of our Eid meat distribution in Gaza City, Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project made sure to visit and honor the sanitation crews who continue serving their people under impossible circumstances. Alongside the distribution of 200 kilograms of meat, we wanted to recognize the dedication, sacrifice, and humanity of those who work tirelessly to keep their neighborhoods clean and livable.

The full 200 kilograms of meat distributed cost $3,257 after fees and commissions. These workers preserve dignity, protecting public health, and continuing to serve our people despite all obstacles.

Give them a thanks in the comments and continent to donate to our Food and Water Campaign: https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX

BREAKING: Cuban immigrant and hunger strike leader Rogelio Bolufé has been deported by ICE to Ecuador. He was a key organizer of hunger strikes at detention centers in Torrance County, NM and Tacoma, WA, and helped found the group Unión de Secuestrados por ICE.

Let's decode what actually happened here.

Axios reported that Trump exploded at Netanyahu. Called him "fucking crazy." Said "you'd be in prison if it weren't for me." Said "everybody hates you now."

The journalist is Barak Ravid again, we talked about it. Israeli. Based in Washington. Covers the Netanyahu-US relationship for Axios, and every latest deals to calm the markets.

This is the same journalist who wrote the exact same type of story about Biden. There is literally a book chapter about this pattern. It is called "Fuming Biden." The same reporter. The same format. The same function. Different president.

Now watch the response.

Mark Levin, a close ally of both Trump and Netanyahu, did not deny the story. He demanded an FBI investigation into who leaked it. When your defense is "this should never have leaked" instead of "this never happened," you have confirmed the call happened.

But here is the part that matters.

Why would Levin, a friend to BOTH men, confirm the most explosive account of their relationship ever published?

Because it serves both.

Trump gets to look tough. Not Netanyahu's puppet. Willing to put Israel in its place. His base loves it.

Netanyahu gets cover. He "paused" the Beirut strike, but not because Iran threatened him. Because his "friend" asked him to. His base loves it too.

And look at what actually changed on the ground. Nothing.

Israel cancelled the Beirut strike. But the ground invasion of Lebanon continues. The IDF is still miles deep. A soldier died today from a Hezbollah drone. Netanyahu's office said: "position unchanged."

The performance was perfect. Trump gets the headline. Netanyahu gets the cover. The deal gets another 48 hours of "progress." Markets get a reason to breathe.

And the war continues exactly as planned.

This is the same playbook. Every time public opinion turns against the war, a story appears showing the US president is "furious" with Israel. It creates the illusion of restraint while changing nothing.

Biden was "furious" for 14 months. The war never stopped.

Trump is "furious" now. The ground invasion is expanding.

The visible game is: Trump controls Netanyahu.
The real game is: both men are performing for their audiences while the machine moves forward.

Nothing has been signed. Nothing has stopped. The war is not winding down. It is being managed.

Neither one controls the other. They walk arm in arm. Know that.

Rural workers in Bolivia have seized an oil field in the Santa Cruz region and halted all production, as part of the general strike against neoliberalism.

The site, in the Santa Rosa del Sara municipality, is now fully offline.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

You’re the Governor of New York; you knew he was going to be at that parade and you had no problem attending with him but now you condemn him? You were marching for the same reasons he was marching for; the Zionist project of nonstop dehumanization of Palestinians.

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

Today, New York’s governer, attorney general, police commissioner, and senior senator marched alongside an ICC-wanted war criminal in a parade celebrating an apartheid ethnostate that stands accused (by every major human rights org in the world) of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Normal news from South Lebanon:
An injured child bleeding and crying on the ground in front of his father and mother murdered by an Israeli drone strike on their motorcycle in Adoussiyeh, near Ghaziyeh area between Saida and Tyre.
I was just there, eating some food in my car, considering this place to be a "safe place".
This will be normalized here, but later exported to everywhere around the world, and is being done only because of the open support from the complicit west for Israel, especially USA.

Footage from a Haifa beach shows an Israeli police assaulting 15-year-old Palestinian Ezzedine Mawad.

The incident reflects a broader reality of discrimination in Haifa, a historically Palestinian city where public spaces are increasingly perceived as reserved for Jewish only.

🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera confirms the Washington-backed Zionist regime is illegally occupying a staggering 20 percent of Lebanon, systematically destroying dozens of villages.

Over a million civilians are displaced as relentless airstrikes devastate major cities.
