Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.

The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.

America must secure her release NOW.

Harvard Medical School graduate Leen Ezzeddine discussed the contradictions of learning about ‘health equity’ at a university that urged students to remain silent as Israel wages war on Palestine and Lebanon.

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.

Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

“When my Jewish grandmother told me about the Holocaust, she told me never again.”

A Jewish student interrupted an Israeli soldier’s speech at Rutgers University in the US and condemned Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

Today, the body of our neighbor was found during displacement, buried and decomposed. He had been injured and kept bleeding for three days during the last evacuation from northern Gaza.

When he realized he would not survive and no one could reach him, he covered himself with soil and buried himself while in prostration. Now, his bones were found formed in the position of sujood (prostration).

His body was discovered beside a tree where he had chosen his final place. He left a sign for his family — his ring was tied above the soil with a thread and a small branch from the tree so they could find him.

He will be laid to rest properly after Friday prayer today.

Mercy to the martyrs, and patience for the thousands of families still waiting for news about their missing loved ones in Gaza.

Speak about them. Do not let their stories disappear.

It is said that the young man in the photo, named Ahmed Abdullah, was a pharmacist working in a pharmacy. Every month, an elderly poor woman would come to him for her medicine. She would then approach him at the cash register... Whenever she saw him, her face would light up with joy. For years, she had been buying this medicine, and this young man would only take 200 Egyptian pounds from her. She would pay and leave.
Then, the young man passed away... The elderly woman returned to the same pharmacy, requested her medicine, and went to the cash register to pay 200 pounds. But he was not there.
Before she could ask about him, the new cashier said: “What is this, madam?”She replied: “This is 200 pounds for the medicine.”He responded: “But this medicine costs 2,000 pounds, madam.”
Surprised, she said: “But for more than three years, I have been getting it for 200 pounds from the young man who was here... Where is he?”
The new cashier replied: “He passed away, madam. May God have mercy on him.” Upon reviewing the records, it was discovered that this young man had been covering 1,800 pounds of the cost every month from his own salary at the pharmacy.
When the pharmacy owner learned of this, he decided to continue selling the medicine to the woman at the same price as an ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah) for the sake of the young man’s pure soul. The least we can do to honor this exemplary young man is to let his photo travel the world without stopping, so that everyone may pray for mercy upon him. He deserves recognition.

Most people are “learning AI” the hard way…

Jumping between random videos, tools, and courses.

Meanwhile, Anthropic quietly released 13 FREE Claude courses (with certificates) - all in one place.

Here’s the difference:

Most people stay stuck consuming.
These help you build, ship, and understand what’s actually happening under the hood.

If you go through even a few of these,
you’ll already be ahead of the majority using AI tools casually.

📌 Simple plan:
• Don’t try all 13
• Start with 1
• Finish it
• Apply it immediately

That’s the edge.
Save this for later.
Share it with someone serious about AI.

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

A note to the “Democratic” party:

This bullshit where you try to blame voters for the blood that is on the hands of your party won’t work anymore.

We don’t just disagree with you on 10% of the issues. We disagree with you on 100% of the issues when it comes to genocide, imperialism, and capitalism.

We don’t care if you lose every election. We are fighting for liberation from the system that you and Republicans uphold together.

The world needs more Ms. Rachels, radiating kindness & empathy in a time of such darkness & cruelty. She's standing up for children everywhere and fighting for the future that every one of them deserves.

I was really proud to see this donation come in. If you ask me, she’s the Mr. Rogers of our time.

No applause for Mayor Mamdani? This compromise wouldn’t have happened without the Mayor’s leadership. He led the push for taxing the wealthy, with no help from you.
