Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

🇺🇸 NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized Trump for spending billions on killing people in Iran. 👏

Reporter: "Do you oppose the war in Iran?"

Mamdani: "This war killed thousands of civilians, so yes, I strongly oppose it."🔥

Reporter: "Are you frustrated by $900 million a day being wasted on these wars?"

Mamdani: "We're spending tens of billions to kill people. That money could help our own people instead.🔥🔥

We always have money for war, but never to feed the poor."

Finally, a voice of reason from the US. We need more leaders like this pushing for peace. Respect.

ICE rammed a U.S. citizen's car with his infant and toddler inside.

They detonated flash-bang grenades. Pointed assault rifles at the family. Filmed the whole thing and posted it online.

The man's name is Antonio Valdovinos. He's a carpenter. Born in Long Beach, California.

His crime? He attended an anti-ICE protest.

A federal judge later ruled the arrest was a "vindictive effort to impose extrajudicial punishment."

This is what suppressing dissent looks like when the state has cameras.

Who approved this operation?

Look, not passing any legislation can be very time consuming so it’s understandable that Mike Johnson never has time to know anything about what Trump says and does despite reportedly talking to him on the phone 2x a day.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.

Ownership quietly became renting.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “We are now about sixteen months into what has been from day one, a concerted and intense targeting of Black Americans specifically by this president and by this administration…When Trump and his top political donor Elon Musk then started just lopping off huge swaths of the federal government…the largest and most egregious cuts targeted federal agencies that employed a disproportionate number of Black employees. Reporter Erica Green wrote about this for…NYT: ‘…nothing had moved backwards in the federal government for Black Americans this quickly or this far…since Woodrow Wilson came in in 1912 and resegregated the federal workforce…”😳

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

“Nobody can make a record better than me. Please don’t take this in an egotistical way.” Nile Rodgers walks us through the best songs from his legendary career, from penning Chic hits to working with David Bowie. https://t.co/BbKcYXMNfV

@jemelehill @likaluca What woman or POC could, as CEO wear a wrinkled white undershirt and bedhead to a meeting? It seems unimportant…yet when some people don’t have to meet minimum standards, we get the flaming, fascist dungpile we’re currently in.

Pardon me, my Ivy League PTSD is tingling.

In January 2025, I went to a small fundraiser for @ZohranKMamdani in Manhattan. He was polling in the single digits. Six months later, he’d win the Dem primary. And five months after that, become @NYCMayor. All while his religion was held against him in ways an American politician hadn’t faced since JFK and his Catholicism. Only much, much, much worse.
The NY Post, talk radio, the GOP, countless bigots, two Cuomo
Brothers and 23 billionaires who spent $22M couldn’t stop him.

Ramadan Mubarak, indeed. 🙌

Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says https://t.co/b9cmtOW3wd

ships or whatever aside, it’s actually so irritating to know that this whole time leigh janiak was the true mastermind behind stranger things while the duffer brothers got all the credit. one more (ex) wife that ghost wrote her husbands work while he takes all the credit.

Duffer brothers confirm Will Byers & Mike Wheeler have been in a secret relationship since season 3.

The bigots had to hold it in for less than 10 years and now they are back and crappier than ever.
