Before marching into Gaza, an Israeli settler from New York explained to me that that she wants to live on the beach in Gaza after the Palestinians are cleaned out.

"We have lists already of about 500 families that are willing, on the drop of a hat to move to Gaza...People are going to start building towns. We have the names of towns. It's already being planned."

The U.S. is on course to end 2023 with one of the largest annual drops in homicides on record. The findings appear to be at odds with Americans' perception of crime both in their communities and in the rest of the country. https://t.co/afSMoh5mcF

This is what you might call “fake cause” propaganda. CBS has no evidence that X caused Y but it benefits rich people to link them, so it uses “ahead of” to print a suggestion that if stated clearly would be a lie. This company clears over $1 billion in *profit* yearly.

In South Korea, a growing movement of women is saying no: to heterosexual marriage, to childbirth, to dating, to heterosexual sexual relationships. They are choosing to stop fighting the patriarchy and instead leave it behind. @annalouiesuss reports https://t.co/t1dY06PytF

Misti Allison views the East Palestine train derailment and toxic chemical spill as a pivotal moment in her life that launched her activism. Now she's running for mayor of the town that made national headlines in February.

Issam was the sweetest colleague. He let me take a kitten I was nursing on assignment once, and made it a bed in his helmet. But he always reminded me, whenever I got careless: “Our goal is to cover the news, not become it”. I am so sorry this happened to you my dear Issam. RIP.

Ten police officers cost NYC taxpayers $68 million in misconduct lawsuits, & didn’t pay a penny. They’re all still on the force, w/ salaries, benefits, overtime, & more paid for by those same NYC taxpayers. Free to keep violating NYers. Make it make sense. https://t.co/z6BQiMDtYV

Massive lawsuit settlements will likely be awarded to victims of Toxic Baby Powder & Hair Relaxer products. The products have been marketed to women for decades as safe. Now several corporations have been ordered to pay upwards of $8.9 Billion dollars to Ovarian Cancer victims.
