What even is the argument that Israel isn’t committing a genocide at this point? That this stuff, and everything else we hear from Israelis, is all just locker room talk?

שלושים כבשים נגנבו הלילה מתושב הכפר רכיז שבמסאפר יטא, הנזק מוערך בכשישים אלף ש"ח. בשנה האחרונה גניבות הצאן הן תופעה מתגברת המתבצעת על ידי מתנחלים בסיוע וגיבוי שלטונות האפרטהייד

Rushi Abualouf, BBC’s Gaza Correspondent (speaking from Cairo):

“Overnight, Israeli airstrikes killed six members of a Hamas police unit who, according to Hamas’s government media office, were protecting an aid convoy headed to a World Food Programme warehouse in Deir al-Balah. Witnesses say the unit exchanged fire with looters before being struck by four or five Israeli missiles.

Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed six dead and 20 injured.

As for aid, it’s making little difference on the ground. Around 130 trucks entered Gaza in the past three days, but that’s a ‘drop in the ocean.’ Some aid is stuck in bakeries and warehouses. Yesterday, chaos broke out when starving residents overwhelmed two bakeries in Nuseirat. Both shut down today, issuing a statement: ‘Without protection, we cannot feed the people.’

And fuel is still banned—now for 11 weeks. Without fuel, hospitals can’t operate, water wells are shutting down, sewage systems are collapsing, and garbage collection has stopped.

Nor when a man shot three Palestinian college students in Vermont after yelling that Muslims must die

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

When that man murdered 6 year old Wadee Alfayoumi in Chicago, because he had to defend against “the global intifada,” I notice we never had any media cycles of pundits or politicians discussing what it was about the pro-Israel movement that drove people to kill.

"And the last eighty days [in Gaza] have been hell again. I’m hearing from people in international organizations that they ration the food of their own staff to one meal a day."

This father went to his citizenship hearing expecting a handshake.

Instead, ICE shackled him, threw him into a van, and tore him away from his pregnant wife and four children—without even letting him say goodbye.

Kasper Eriksen arrived in Mississippi from Denmark in 2013, fully documented and determined to build a life here.

He started a family, became part of his community, and followed every rule. He was never accused, let alone convicted, of any crime.

But as best we understand, he's now imprisoned because of a single clerical mistake made years ago. In 2015, Kasper and his wife, Savannah, missed filing one form, among the hundreds required on the complicated path to citizenship.

Savannah had just suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child. In the painful days that followed, paperwork deadlines understandably slipped past unnoticed.

Now, over a month after his arrest, Kasper remains locked in a detention facility notorious for cruelty, neglect, and abuse.

Savannah—eight months pregnant, at high risk, and terrified—is desperately pleading for her husband's return.

She and their children have no idea when or if they'll ever see him again, and she doesn't know if he'll be present for her child's birth.

Every day brings another nightmare under the Trump administration.

The actions of our government are evil. There's simply no other way to describe it.

May God have mercy on us all for allowing this to happen.

@nkulw Not the multiple other Dem reps who have died in office this year?

ICE has rejected the request by Mahmoud Khalil to have a "contact visit" with his newborn so he can hold his baby for the first time.

Khalil is not charged with any crime yet remains held behind bars for speaking against Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

The reason the federal court ordered the release of Tufts PhD student Rumeysa Oztur -- whose only crime was co-authoring an op-ed critical of Israel's war -- is DOJ admitted that, despite Rubio's repeated insinuations, they couldn't point to anything she did beyond the op-ed:

U.S. Podcaster Beaten by Israeli Police While Documenting March In Occupied Palestine

Breaking Points spoke to Latitude Adjustment host Eric Maddox who was hooded, assaulted, and interrogated by Israeli police in the occupied West Bank—simply for documenting the regular regular Saturday settler march in Hebron’s Old City, which forces Palestinian shopkeepers to close and is heavily guarded by Israeli police and, to some extent, the IDF.

Maddox said he was attacked by police for shouting “Free Palestine.” Israeli officers tackled him, tried to seize his camera, and beat him out of view—targeting his head to avoid leaving marks. He was later interrogated about his thoughts on October 7, accused of ��obstructing police action,” and banned from Hebron for 15 days.

Speaking from the West Bank, Maddox drew attention to Israel’s routine violence against Palestinian journalists and the U.S. media’s silence. He stressed that his ordeal was just a glimpse of what Palestinian reporters endure daily—torture, imprisonment, assassination.
