[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

18F had invented some of the modern government transparency that Musk claims to love, like https://t.co/LJz4DFZSMp, https://t.co/WWTzd4pkqb, and https://t.co/iP9Ykjv7RG. This is a massive brain drain and self-own for the U.S. government.

Few graphics convey the civilian toll of the so-called “War on Terror” better than this one.

At least 38 million people have been forcibly displaced in the post-9/11 wars. This is roughly equivalent to the population of Canada. [1/3]

If the mayor was serious about climate change, he'd task the law dept with finding legal pathways to decarbonizing Chicago's built environment and transportation system.

Instead he's turned them into playwrights for the political theater, penning 185 pages that accomplish zilch.

Haaretz has published (in Hebrew, not English) an incomprehensibly vile article in the style of a lifestyle cooking feature, about Israel's soldiers finding and cooking with ingredients in the kitchens of Gazans who had to flee their homes and are now starving.

[Steve McCormick @Quasilocal]

You are correct.

There's something hard for us, children of the colonised, to articulate because the world is upside down. Europe and its descendants, can't differentiate between principle and episode. This is why Germany (and much of Europe) is doomed to be genocidal. Here is what I mean. 🧵

live tweeting today’s ICJ hearing— considering the UN’s powerlessness this is hardly our Nuremberg, but an interesting piece of legal theater that some think could have real political effects

Thx to zoning reform in Mpls, average rents grew slower (1%) over 5-years than is allowed in a single yr under their neighbor St. Paul's strict 3% rent cap. Evidence keeps coming: housing abundance stabilizes rents & reduces homelessness.

Supply skepticism is not evidence-based.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

I've read South Africa's case alleging genocide against Israel.

It is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

It feels like you're reading a gruesome historical document about how a genocide was allowed to happen, then you realise this is now.

“A house on the beach is not a dream”: An Israeli real estate company specialising in Jewish settlements in the West Bank is planning for the day after. This is beyond aspirational, their staff is already working on plans.

'Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.'

Read @yuval_abraham's investigation into Israel's calculated bombing of Gaza. @972mag @mekomit

New Interview: I talked to Daniella Weiss, a West Bank settler and activist, about how her religious views shape her view of the conflict, why she thinks human rights should not be considered universal, and her movement’s extreme plans for the region. https://t.co/YwDBWcXGNo

Today I am at Torkham, on the Afghan border with Pakistan, where 10s of thousands of Afghans have gathered, having been expelled from Pakistan. >2,000 families have crossed here in the past 24 hours. We’re seeing perhaps the largest forced expulsion in the world since the 1950s.
