BREAKING: ISRAELI forces RAIDED the women’s dormitory at Birzeit University near Ramallah and ABDUCTED FOUR Palestinian FEMALE STUDENTS.
The students were identified as:
• Jolan Abu Awwad
• Natali Abu Dayya
• Laila Nael Khalil
• Sama Safi
The arrests came during an Israeli military raid on the town of Birzeit in the occupied West Bank.
“Statement from Bishop Dr. Imad Haddad on the Israeli Detainment of Natalie Abudayyeh
This morning a beloved youth from our church community, Natalie Abuddayeh, was taken at gunpoint by Israeli forces from her student apartment in Birzeit alongside three other women. We are deeply shocked and horrified by this news, as well as by the news that her family does not yet know where she has been taken. Natalie is a member of Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Beit Jala, a graduate of Talitha Kumi Lutheran School, and a Media and Journalism student at Birzeit University.
As Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, I unequivocally call for Natalie’s immediate release. The entire ELCJHL stands in solidarity with the Abudayyeh family and the Beit Jala and Birzeit communities, and we join them in earnest prayer for Natalie’s safety and freedom.
We are incredibly disturbed by the reality that Natalie now joins the thousands of Palestinians in Israeli detention without charge or trial. Palestinian civilians, including women and children, suffer deep injustice in Israeli military detention and are often held for months or years with no explanation.
We call on our friends, partners, and siblings in Christ around the world to advocate for Natalie’s freedom using whatever channels are available to them, and to demand an end to this unjust and unequal system of detainment and detention that paralyzes and destroys Palestinian communities.
Bishop Dr. Imad Haddad

the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore because there’s barely any journalists left. 20% of Lebanon is now under Israeli occupation. 12 million people have been displaced in Sudan. Over 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Congo. Don’t stop talking.
Michigan holds nearly 20% of the world’s fresh surface water, a sacred trust we are obligated to protect for future generations. That is not negotiable.
So let me be blunt: Governor Whitmer smiling for photos with Sam Altman while handing over Michigan’s water and energy to his data centers is a betrayal of every family that depends on these resources. This isn’t economic development, it’s a sweetheart deal for a Silicon Valley billionaire at Michigan taxpayers’ expense.
AI data centers consume millions of gallons of water and massive amounts of electricity.
Who pays the price? Michigan families, farmers, and communities.
Who pockets the profits? Out-of-state tech oligarchs who will never have to live with the consequences.
I am running for Congress because Michigan’s water, land, and energy belong to the people of Michigan, not to the billionaire class and not to politicians who roll out the red carpet for them.
We will not subsidize the exploitation of our most precious natural resources so the ultra-wealthy can grow even richer.
Enough. Michigan is not for sale.
Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.
BREAKING:
Israel is dropping white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in the village of Arnoun, Nabatieh, South Lebanon.
These are internationally banned munitions — and Israel is unleashing them against civilians.
Friendly reminder
Oil takes months to extract, refine, and ship worldwide. Yet, a conflict starts overseas and gas prices spike the very next day. The fuel at your local station was purchased months ago. That immediate price hike is a completely rigged monopoly.
Don’t let the government hoodwink you. They absolutely owe you functioning systems, clean water, healthcare, security, housing, job opportunities, and basic human dignity. It is within their constitutional mandate; that is literally their core purpose and duty.
Nevada's "Swiss Alps" are about to be handed to the oil and gas industry.
And it passed by a single Senate vote.
The Ruby Mountains are glacier-carved peaks soaring above sapphire alpine lakes.
Wildflower meadows. Crystal streams. Nevada's largest mule deer herd.
Bighorn sheep. Mountain goats. Lahontan cutthroat trout — threatened and irreplaceable.
The ancestral homeland of the Te-Moak Tribe of the Western Shoshone.
Hunters, anglers, hikers, skiers — people have traveled from across the country to be here for generations.
There is nowhere else in Nevada like this.
On May 11, by one Senate vote, the Biden-era Public Lands Rule was repealed.
The rule that required conservation to be weighed equally alongside drilling, mining, and logging.
Gone.
And the Ruby Mountains — 264,000 acres — were already open to oil and gas leasing.
Geologists say the area has low to no oil potential.
Industry has shown little interest.
So why strip the protection?
The fired Lake Mead ecologist said it plainly:
"We have to make sure that we don't do something that we can't undo."
Once these lands are leased — they're locked out of conservation for up to 30 years.
You cannot un-drill a glacier-carved canyon.
If this land has low oil potential and industry still isn't rushing in — what exactly is being taken, and who profits when it's gone?

🚨 do you understand what happened to your right to protest..
The FBI just invented a new domestic extremism category called "anti-tech violent extremism" - and it doesn't exist in any public document.
WIRED got 1000+ leaked pages proving they're already using it to track AI critics and data center protesters.
What the leak exposed:
- Photographing a data center is now officially "suspicious behavior" in Virginia
- Fusion centers are surveilling town halls where residents complain about water
- 61% of Americans believe AI will destroy more jobs than it creates
- Even Marjorie Taylor Greene snapped: "how dare the peasants complain"
They built a new extremist category for you before they told you it exists.
Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work
Wait, what? The major chemical disaster in Garden Grove, California, that forced 50,000 Americans to evacuate their homes occurred at a facility that makes components for Israel’s fighter jets. We are an occupied nation ruled by two genocidal Zionist parties.
What’s happening in Orange County, specifically the city of Garden Grove, with the chemical leak at the GKN Aerospace facility is stark reminder of how U.S. imperialism is killing us all. GKN manufactures material for military aircraft.
Orcas are a matriarchal species and are the apex predators of the oceans. Bees are a matriarchal species and are the primary pollinators of the entire world. Elephants are a matriarchal species and foster forest growth. Notice anything?
