@godofprompt If you’re so confident, link the study straight away. What you’re saying has little to do with it.

A BBC World Service & BBC Arabic analysis shows that Meta’s Facebook suppressed audience engagement with news produced by Palestinan journalists in the occupied territories. Meta says it did change algos post 7/10 but denies accusations of censorship or bias.

NEW: United Sovereign Americans, a fringe group on the right, is helping to mainstream election conspiracy theories by filing frivolous lawsuits that experts say are premised on a "gross misunderstanding of federal law." That and a whole lot more here: https://t.co/Fmp6FGLxw4

Happening now:

“Gaza burns, Wall Street booms! Arms embargo now!”

An estimated 500 members of @jvpliveNY have rushed the New York Stock Exchange, chaining themselves to entrances and an exterior fence. Security tried, and failed, to impede the masses.

The image of hospital patients, tethered to IVs as American-supplied Israeli bombs ignite fires around them in Gaza, may well stand as the defining image of this horror.

Hey all - I’m a freelance journalist in Asheville and I’m available for work. Best way to reach me is Jessica dot Wakeman at gmail. HOWEVER, Internet service is quite bad here at the moment.

“The raid on the office is not only an attack on Al Jazeera, but an affront to press freedom and the very principles of journalism,” the network says. “These measures are intended to prevent the world from witnessing the reality in the occupied territories and Gaza.”

[Robert Faturechi @RobertFaturechi]

Donald Trump's Truth Social often gets talked about dismissively. A Twitter knockoff. A meme stock. Etc.

But its value is in the **billions**

If he’s elected, his stake could create conflicts of interest that eclipse the concerns during his first term about his hotel biz.

Did you do your homework?

I have concepts of my homework.

That's correct. Publishers removed '1984' from our library. 🕳️

So tired of seeing murdered journalists on my timeline.

It’s not “activism” to demand it to stop. These are our colleagues

Here is Ismail’s tribute to himself and the dying humanity.

“Let me tell you, my friend, that I no longer know the taste of sleep. The bodies of children and the screams of the injured and their blood-soaked images never leave my sight. The cries of mothers and the wailing of men who are missing their loved ones never fade from my hearing.

I can no longer bear the sound of children’s voices from beneath the rubble, nor can I forget the energy and power that reverberates at every moment, turning into a nightmare. It is no longer easy for me to stand before the rows of coffins, which are locked and extended, or to see the dead people more than the living who are fighting death beneath their homes, not finding a way out to safety and survival.

I am tired, my friend…”
