Stick a fork in it.
Dr. Adam Hamawy — a combat trauma surgeon and veteran who volunteered in Gaza and the West Bank, who saved Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s life — will be the next Congressman from NJ-12.
He was backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Justice Democrats, Our Revolution & many other lawmakers/groups on the left.
There was a point, 3 yrs ago, when Israel felt compelled to explain its attacks on hospitals. Then it realized Western govts aren’t fussed about such war crimes & Western media was happy to justify them. And so here we are: dozens of hospitals bombed in Gaza, Iran & Lebanon.
Hamawy has won — meaning a doctor who treated the victims of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza is headed to Congress.
He refused to leave his rotation, even as Israel surrounded the hospital and cut off the water supply, until a new rotation of doctors was allowed in

COPS ARREST A MAN FOR ORGANIZING A PROTEST AGAINST A DATA CENTER:
Video shows Illinois police arresting Harley Delander for organizing a protest against a data center in his town.
He explains to police that he did nothing wrong and they’re violating his First Amendment rights.
The police don’t care and arrest him anyway. This is the current state of America.
Our government and both parties are completely owned by the tech billionaires who are rewiring our entire economy to usher in their AI techno-capitalist dystopia.
This is why you are seeing the government do whatever it can to silence any and all opposition to the dystopian nightmare their tech billionaire owners are pushing onto us.
From labeling anti-data center protesters “extremists” to now arresting people for planning protests, the US government is actively attacking and jailing its own people to protect the Tech oligarchs it serves.
Hard to believe I’m even writing this.
Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C (89.6°F) than its annual average.
UPDATE: Dulce Diaz was in fact a U.S. citizen and the Trump admin has now acknowledged the fact and issued her a passport. Below was DHS’s angry (and utterly false) claim to the contrary.
Proof that, yes, ICE has at times detained US citizens in error.
Bolivia's workers unions held a congress yesterday and confirmed that they will not take part in any dialogue or negotiations.
The general strike against neoliberalism continues, the number of barricades erected along highways is now 90, a record breaking number.
Disturbing news. Loss of Arctic sea ice has caused an “irreversible” shift in the chemistry of the ocean that is disrupting the foundations of chain of life, a two-decade-long study has concluded. Tipping points are already here…

⭕️ NYT Called Every Major Gaza City a “Hamas Stronghold,” New Book Documents
A new book by media critic Adam Johnson, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, documents how the New York Times used the term “Hamas stronghold” 154 times between October 2023 and October 2024, almost always while reporting on war crimes or pending war crimes.
Johnson shows the paper applied the label to all five of Gaza’s most populated cities, including refugee camps like Jabaliya, where an Israeli strike killed upwards of 120 people in an October 2023 attack. The NYT headline read: “Israel Strike Targets Hamas Stronghold in Dense Gaza Area.”
The book argues the framing militarized civilian areas in the public imagination to justify their destruction.
Willem Arondeus was a gay Dutch artist who participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazis from identifying Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo.
His final words before execution were, "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards."
the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore because there’s barely any journalists left. 20% of Lebanon is now under Israeli occupation. 12 million people have been displaced in Sudan. Over 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Congo. Don’t stop talking.
Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3
