🎓 “Peace be upon you. From the students of Harvard, to the youth of Dahieh, to the sons of Nabatieh, and the people of Tyre.”
Harvard Medical School graduate Leen Ezzeddine, from the southern Lebanese town of Arabsalim, used her graduation speech to remind her peers of the students in Gaza and southern Lebanon who do not benefit from the same “arbitrary luck and circumstance” that she and her classmates have enjoyed.
Ezzeddine said her presence at that podium was “evidence of what survives the border, the bomb, and the exile,” and of “what becomes possible when people the world has tried to erase are allowed to live.”
Flotilla activist Meriem Hadjal described being sexually assaulted by Israeli forces. She said they stripped her of her clothes and continued groping her chest while striking her repeatedly in the head.
Stop telling me that the problem is Netanyahu.
Israelis gathered together to watch bombs destroy entire towns in Lebanon on a big screen together.
Israeli society is deeply sick and dangerous.
X is teeming with appalling accounts of brutality by Israeli guards - including sexual assaults - against flotilla volunteers abducted in international waters.
BBC entirely ignoring it. Leads on Green candidate in Makerfield standing down over social media posts. Staggering.
A large wildfire has burned nearly a third of Santa Rosa Island in California’s Channel Islands National Park — an area home to dozens of rare plants and animals, including some found nowhere else in the world. https://t.co/mc0uBm6GrL
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.
Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

WILD: 🇺🇸 Congressman Goldman showed 'credible FBI receipts' that Trump "unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis, he punched her and called her a b*tch."
"There's multiple allegations that he sexually assaulted young girls."
FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed in a 2005 letter that he'd been arrested for public urination. He also described a public intoxication arrest in 2001.
These details come as Patel faces scrutiny over alcohol use.

Unprecedented kleptocracy.
I urge everyone to watch this report by Channel 4 News about Israel’s killing of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil.
“Under international humanitarian law, journalists are afforded the same protection as civilians… If that journalist has a particular sympathy with a particular cause, that doesn’t mean that protection is removed…
… the IDF said the incident is under review. Don’t hold your breath…”
Providing the necessary context and not taking Israel’s claims at face value.
This is how every journalist should be reporting.
NEW: The BBC failed to name Israel as the perpetrator in Israeli attacks where civilians were killed in Gaza in 50% of all analysed cases, a new data report from @newscord_org shows.
Surveillance cameras in Dunwoody, Georgia were accessed by Flock employees to view a children’s gymnastics studio.
Days after this was exposed, City Council expanded their contract with Flock.
At that meeting, they refused to let the journalist who published the story speak.
