⚖️ Devastating news today from the US Supreme Court, where a 6-3 decision gives the Trump administration the go-ahead to bring Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to an end for Syria, exposing more than 6,000 Syrians to potential deportation. https://t.co/zzu8xCKadw
Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.
Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.
Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.
Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.
My book is out by Sep.

DC's 311 app has been broken since May 1, which isn't acceptable for something residents rely on to report sidewalk issues, missed trash pickups, and broken streetlights. I got curious whether the outage actually showed up in the submission numbers. So I pulled the open data. 🧵
The U.S. military is only investigating a single civilian harm allegation in Iran despite hitting more than 13,000 targets, a top military official has said.
Airwars' Emily Tripp told The New York Times the military's response was "pretty ridiculous"

I support the Mayor's veto.
Schools should empower students to speak truth to power, not violate their first amendment rights.
And I'm asking why so many levels of our government have not only allowed egregious violations of international law in our city, but actively pushed legislation to suppress criticism of it?
Q: Gas prices are up. Inflation is up. Americans are having financial hardship. Is now the right time for Congress to be prioritizing a billion dollars for security at the White House and a ballroom Trump said would be paid for privately?
MIKE JOHNSON: I think that's a gross misstatement of what's going on right now
A van carrying food and supplies was just targeted on the highway by an Israeli drone strike.
Living under occupation means that this can happen to you or any vehicle around you at any time. This has been going on for the last 18 months.
The last few weeks of attacks on @AbdulElSayed have revealed that he a) has the courage to stand with a majority of Democrats on Palestine and b) is a very well-educated person who chose to go into public health instead of a more lucrative career practicing medicine. Brutal.
One of the most striking indictments of US news media made in the Kristof piece, unintentionally, is that we are given an incredible example of how the word of Israelis is taken without any shred of evidence while Palestinians must provide every detail imaginable of the violence inflicted against them, and even then their suffering is treated, at best, as secondary if even acknowledged.
Also worth noting that Screams without Words was an official investigation by the New York Times and this report is in the opinion section.
The frothing online debate about this @NickKristof column is so revealing. On this issue, people would rather distract with fights about the unseen than to face the ongoing horrors in Gaza that we can all clearly see with our own eyes. It’s like the focus on the words of college students instead of on the impact of 2,000 lb bombs that we paid for. So they’ll go after Kristof’s story all day as a way of looking us off of schoolchildren we’ve killed in Minab with double-tap strikes. So revealing.
A very serious investigation has been published in @nytimes about rape and sexual violence carried out by the authorities in Israel. I am also quoted in this article as one of many, many people who provided accounts to this newspaper, which is considered extremely pro-Israeli.
In response, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote that these are antisemitic “blood libels.” It is clear that the reports already published by Al Jazeera in 2024, and by me in 2025 when the BBC censored and deleted the interview with me, are true.
People simply need to listen to Palestinians. But the world does not listen to Palestinians. It only listens when it is written in The New York Times — and now it is written there.
