Jeremy England is a physicist who became an Orthodox Jew during graduate school and has been described as the potential next Darwin.

Today he argues in Tablet that Israel must stop pretending it is a nation like any other. @lifelikephysics

Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:

“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”

The aggressiveness of the Israeli intelligence collection on top U.S. officials during the second Trump administration has been “unhinged,” one senior official said …
In 2021, Israeli military intelligence officers were caught planting listening devices at D.I.A. headquarters. Last year, officers from Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, were discovered to have tried to plant a listening device in a Secret Service vehicle.

Bernie Sanders advocating for a stealth bailout of uber-unprofitable AI companies on the eve of their failing exit liquidity IPOs... is I think a very clear signal that the financial system is again on the verge of collapse.

they've built concentration camps and i'm expected to act like it's a mere difference of political opinion

Admitting he’s devoted the last few years trying to use the government to make his daughter’s life miserable. Transphobia is a mental illness

Ocean currents have a huge impact on our planet. That's why it is beyond stupid for Trump to dismantle America's huge network of ocean sensors. https://t.co/LS0gM3YrqH

Sam Harris published "if Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace" on the same day a 7 month old Palestinian baby was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers.

the baby's name happened to be Sam, too.

Mysterious ‘cold blob’ in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening

A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water “conveyor belt” in the Atlantic is slowing down

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again:
when people have their needs met, there really is no use for crime and this man is proving that

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

I called 911 by accident this morning and the operator asked me if everything was alright. When I said "yes sorry that was an accident" he hung up. Now what if the killer was forcing me to say that??? He didn't even pry a little bit 😭😭

Pentagon DIA says Israel has ramped up spying on US officials since Trump showed interest in a deal with Iran

Israeli human espionage and technical collection is at a ”critical level,” the DIA states

Israel placed Stingray spy devices throughout the White House during the first Trump term

[Douglas Macgregor @DougAMacgregor]

Pentagon elevates Israel's counterintelligence risk rating to "critical"—its highest level—amid growing concerns that Israel is conducting aggressive espionage operations against senior U.S. officials.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on US to HIGHEST level

The counterintelligence threat level was raised by the DIA after growing concerns that Israeli espionage had become more aggressive than usual.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

A professor in the U.S. was suspended for mentioning Palestinians, just days after Hasan Piker was barred from the UK for condemning a genocide.

Your rights are being stripped away in service of Israel’s impunity.
