a lot of leftist men think that because they have good politics, they are inherently good people and don't have to self reflect on their behavior within their personal lives, especially with respect to how they treat women
The IDF did a field execution a Palestinian aid worker, who worked for @WCKitchen, which hasn’t mentioned Ahmad Esleem’s name or murder on its platforms. Neither has @chefjoseandres, who is busy tweeting about football.
All they did was a buried blog post.
me acuerdo que cuando se hicieron manifestaciones aquí sobre lo de Palestina mucha gente mamaba que “se preocuparan por lo que sucede en México y no al otro lado del mundo” y se burlaban de quien alzaba la voz, se les advirtió que terminarían con Gaza y vendrían aquí
This is Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.
He was fatally shot by ICE agents in Houston this past week, on Tuesday, after being profiled. DHS said he tried to ram his van into them - witnesses, undocumented, say that's not what happened. They have been detained by ICE and have now have received papers to self deport - they are the only people who can testify to what ICE did to Salgado.
If you know the names Alex Pretti and Renee Good - you need to know Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Keith Porter, a black man killed by an off-duty ICE agent on January Ist of this year.
ICE has the authority to kill anyone - they have complete impunity and they are showing it to us everyday.
From inside my tent, with nothing but paper and determination,
I’m learning how to design the electronic circuit of a neonatal incubator through a medical device design course I invested $400 in.
No lab.
No equipment.
Just a dream that refuses to stop growing. 🤍
Even in the insanely rare instance where a celebrity's crime leads to actual jail time, people STILL don't care. Mike Tyson went to jail for raping a teenager and when he got out of jail he got cast in comedy movies, man.
It's maddening when ppl say "Why didn't they come forward right away?" when a woman accuses a famous man of rape, when the odds of a rich, famous person ever being criminally punished for it are so so so low and the odds of their fans harassing the woman for life is guaranteed.
Cohen was a clear operative from the start. Borat came out just as the US public began to understand the horrors of the Iraq invasion. It should have been a time of Usonians listening to people from around the world and Borat mocked the notion.
Netanyahu spews lie after lie about settler violence and @DanaBashCNN just nods along. You have failed at your job at the most basic level. You are the reason Palestinians are being terrorized and murdered every day in the West Bank. So much blood on your hands, including my own.
Eyewitnesses describe field execution of aid truck driver by Israeli forces in Gaza
——
Palestinian aid truck driver Ahmad Esleem was shot dead by an Israeli soldier while transporting humanitarian supplies through the Philadelphi Corridor, in an incident described by witnesses and the Gaza Transport Companies’ Association as a summary execution. Esleem, 30, was part of a World Central Kitchen convoy operating under full coordination and with approved permits from the Israeli military when his vehicle encountered mechanical issues.
According to The Guardian, Israeli soldiers ordered the drivers out of their vehicles before stripping and assaulting them. Witnesses state that after being forced to stand in the sun, "the moment Ahmad raised his hands in surrender, an Israeli soldier shot him directly in the head."
The father of two was reportedly wearing official identification at the time of his killing, and survivors allege that soldiers subsequently threatened them with the same fate.
The killing highlights the extreme dangers faced by humanitarian workers in Gaza despite the use of deconfliction channels. The Gaza Transport Companies’ Association has condemned the incident as a deliberate act of violence against personnel facilitating essential food delivery, while the military has yet to provide an explanation for the engagement during the coordinated aid mission.
Netanyahu's son legally changed name amid mounting international isolation
——
Yair Netanyahu, son of the Israeli Prime Minister, has officially changed his name to Yonatan Hon, according to reports from Haaretz. Tax documentation from late 2024 identified him by his birth name, but filings from this year now utilize the new alias and a fictional address.
This shift follows a pattern within the family, as his brother Avner previously adopted the name Avi Segal to facilitate private property acquisitions in the United Kingdom.
The transition coincides with the increasing global toxicity surrounding the Netanyahu name, driven by the International Criminal Court’s issuance of arrest warrants for the Prime Minister regarding war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Yair has increasingly sought to distance himself from his father’s political fallout while attempting to cultivate private business interests within far-right circles in the US.
The practice of rebranding is a long-standing tradition for the family and the wider Zionist political establishment. The Prime Minister himself utilized the alias Ben Nitai during his time in the United States during the 1980s, while his father, Benzion Mileikowsky, adopted the surname Netanyahu upon migrating to historic Palestine.
This trend aligns with the historical precedent of early Zionist leaders discarding European surnames for Hebrew names to establish a new national identity. Notable examples include Golda Meir (born Golda Mabovitch in Ukraine) and Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion (born David Gruen in Poland).
