Wild how every one of these tweets is just an open acknowledgment of a capital strike and committing to repeatedly breaking tenant law. “Nice rent freeze you got, now we will petulantly punish you by not maintaining your building” ok cool you should be stripped of all your wealth

3 judges with the International Criminal Court filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against Trump and his administration, challenging the sanctions against them and calling it a "financial death penalty."

The judges bringing the lawsuit are:
- Kimberly Prost (Canada)
- Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda)
- Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou (Benin)

Trump placed sanctions on the judges over their judicial decisions regarding investigations into war crimes by Israel and the US.

The judges argue that the sanctions are extrajudicial measures meant to punish and coerce them. They say the restrictions cut them off from banking, online platforms, travel booking, and sometimes health insurance.

This should be much bigger news.

The Spectator just told its readers the evidence that Israel deliberately targeted children in Gaza "simply isn't there," and that the UN's 94-page report is "a doctor's guess."

Here is what is actually in the report, Jonathan Sacerdoti says is empty:

• Two independent forensic pathologists. CT scans. Forensic analysis in 15 of 17 cases.

• An audio ballistic analysis that identified the exact weapon and the firing distance.

• A 10-day-old baby was shot in the head while breastfeeding in his mother's tent in Nuseirat. Named. Dated. The bullet was analysed.

He calls this "unverified" with "nothing connecting the dots." The report cross-references every source and authenticates it with geolocation, metadata and forensic imaging.

This is not an opinion you're free to disagree with. These are false statements of fact about a public document. Under IPSO's Editors' Code, Clause 1 (Accuracy) applies to comment pieces too.

@AlexCrawfordSky "A breast-feeding baby was shot by a quadcopter through the head."

These are the kind of stomach-churning atrocities which Israel and its allies have normalised.

We are living in very dark times.

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

Simply don’t understand those willing to deny the evidence of multiple doctors from a variety of different countries; independent investigators all with long and established careers, journalists, survivors and witnesses, a pile of visual evidence as well as their own eyes - and still attempt to discredit those who report this. - whether they’re survivors, medics, academics or journalists…

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Stories like today's catastrophic Supreme Court ruling on pesticides go under the radar, but they shape our society and determine our lives. One of the most important things to see about our political system is this: there are concentric circles of undemocratic mechanisms that permit local officials to enact policies that benefit the ruling class but that prevent them from enacting policies that hurt the ruling class.

If a local city wants to do something too progressive, the much more undemocratic state government can preempt it. If a state wanted to do something too progressive, the much more undemocratic federal government can preempt it. This was actually the goal of a lot of the Obama-era corporate transnational trade agreements, which were trying to replicate this system globally to prevent countries from passing progressive economic, environmental, labor, and social policies. At each higher layer, the wealthiest interests typically have more power and control, and it is much harder for people to organize to effectively fight against that power.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Again, “I support human rights and progress and oppose racism but also am pro killing 20,000+ children in Gaza” is simply not a tenable position anymore. The contradictions are too heightened, blah blah terrorism blah blah antisemitism doesnt have the juice it used to. It’s over.

Honestly, I don’t know how to describe what I lived through today. Even though I have been living in Gaza and documenting what is happening since the beginning of the war, what I witnessed today was one of the most shocking and painful scenes of my entire life.

A group of families living in a very remote camp, almost directly beside the Israeli sand berms, contacted us. They told us they had not received water for a long time. At first, we hesitated because reaching the area with a water truck meant entering an extremely dangerous zone. In the end, we decided to try.

Throughout the journey, I saw destruction and rubble everywhere, but the scene that awaited us near the camp was unlike anything else. Directly in front of us were the sand berms and Israeli cranes, surrounded by a landscape of devastation where little remained except tents and ruins.

When the water truck was still about a kilometer away, people began shouting and running toward it. Women, children, and elderly people carried empty water containers and ran with all the strength they had, terrified that the water would run out before their turn came.

The moment the truck stopped, large numbers of people emerged from among the rubble and damaged tents. They were not looking for food, shelter, or anything else. They were looking for water. Just water.

This time we distributed 6,000 liters of clean water, more than we had distributed before, but even that was not enough. Many people remained waiting, and some left without receiving enough water for their families.

As we distributed the water and documented what was happening, fear never left us for a single moment. Yet what I felt in the face of such immense suffering was greater than fear itself.

Today I witnessed a level of thirst I never imagined I would see. I saw mothers running after a water truck, and children clutching empty containers as if they were holding on to their last hope.

I thought I had already seen everything during this war, but what I witnessed today made me realize that the humanitarian catastrophe is far greater than what the world sees on television screens. This is not simply a shortage of services or difficult living conditions. It is a daily struggle for the most basic necessities of survival.

We are facing a real humanitarian disaster that grows worse with each passing day, while thousands of families wake up every morning searching for one thing only: water.

PabloReports: Do you think a reset is possible with Israel while Netanyahu is still PM?

Khanna: No. A reset is not possible while there is still occupation. It’s not just Netanyahu. You have a country that has apartheid. Until that situation is resolved and human rights are recognized, there will not be the kind of reset that you are talking about.

Israeli soldiers use young boys for "target practice." As in, Mondays, we shoot the stomach, Tuesdays, the knees, etc.

This was reported last year by the BBC and now corroborated by the United Nations' report.

"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"

He means Israel would go after them too.

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

The UN inquiry’s findings that genocide is being carried out by Israeli authorities and security forces in Gaza - as well as crimes against humanity and war crimes - and additionally war crimes in the occupied West Bank - is due to what the inquiry found was the deliberate targeting of children - and it is horrifying reading. The details of the targeting are chilling. Children. Killed. Wounded. Tortured. Starved. Raped. On a mass scale

[Mr. Silver @SilverCharmer]

@politico That was not an upset for anyone without Zionist blinders on.

AIPAC and Pro Israel dark money is a losing proposition. Centrist Democratic consultants and their candidates better wake up to this reality.

[Dr. Ghada Sasa, PhD 🇵🇸 @drghadasasa]

The Zionist who fired a nail gun at us two years ago and said "Every fu**ing Palestinian will die" is free today with just a $100 surcharge. The impunity Zionists enjoy in the West explains why Palestinians continue to be assaulted and murdered in broad daylight here.
