We’ve been covering settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank for years.
But yesterday, we found ourselves on the menu.
A group of masked settlers beat our team and pummelled the 51 year old woman we were interviewing unconscious.
We’re all ok now - and Aida is out of the hospital - but this is just one incident among an unprecedented surge in settler violence across the West Bank.
Here’s out story on yesterday’s attack on Sunday Today on @NBCNews.

You can tell this is a very hurtful moment for Jose personally. I feel bad for the families. I feel bad for him. They should not have been talked about in that way after their death by that officer.
Your 'doom quote' for today:
"... human civilization as we know it will collapse and billions could die. And we’re not talking about the far distant future. We are talking about collapse within years, not centuries. For real."

My message to the IDF officer who ordered the airstrikes on World Central Kitchen and to the people who bomb and smear humanitarians — and to the leaders who have the responsability to stop it..
Worth highlighting that this show hasn’t had on a Palestinian or Palestinian-American guest in over 7 years, and the last time they did it was Rashida Tlaib and Jake Tapper asked her if she believed in Israel’s “right to exist” three different times.
☝️Atherosclerosis starts earlier than we think
👉New data from the REACT study, published in NEJM, provide a striking picture of silent atherosclerosis across adult life:
1️⃣ 16,808 adults, aged 18–70 years, without known ASCVD.
2️⃣ Multimodal imaging included 3D carotid and femoral ultrasound plus coronary CT angiography.
3️⃣ Silent atherosclerosis was present in 57.1% of participants.
4️⃣ Even at 18–29 years, plaque was already present in 8.7% of men and 6.7% of women.
5️⃣ By age 30–39, prevalence reached 34.6% in men and 21.3% in women.
6️⃣Atherosclerosis appeared 5–10 years earlier in men, while women showed a later but steeper rise in midlife.
7️⃣ In younger adults, disease was usually peripheral and single-territory, especially carotid; with age, plaque burden increased exponentially and disease became increasingly multiterritorial.
8️⃣ ☝️Importantly, CAC = 0 did not exclude coronary plaque: among 30–39-year-olds with coronary atherosclerosis, ~42% of men and ~48% of women had zero coronary calcium
9️⃣ SCORE2 showed major discordance with actual disease burden: high SCORE2 had only 1.9% sensitivity for silent atherosclerosis.
☝️Key message: low short-term cardiovascular risk does not mean absence of atherosclerosis.
👉Risk scores estimate events. Imaging detects disease. REACT reminds us that prevention should begin long before cardiovascular risk becomes “high.”

El Niño is about to shift into a higher gear.
By early October, ECMWF weekly guidance shows sea temperatures surging to a remarkable 5.64°C above average in the eastern Pacific (Niño 1+2) and 3.55°C in the central Pacific (Niño 3.4).
Both would be all-time records.
Put Hasan aside. It should concern you that the Democratic Party has launched a coordinated smear campaign based on nothing he actually said against a private citizen who is not in or running for office. This reveals how comfortable they are with just lying to the voters.
Trump is basically bringing about the end of the domestic cattle industry.
He is not just the greatest eco-terrorist ever — has destroyed more pipelines and fossil fuel infrastructure than anyone — he’s also now doing more against factory farming than the most radical animal rights activist could dream of.
How does the 2026 super El Niño compare with the three before it?
You don’t need to be a meteorologist to spot the difference.
It’s unfolding against the backdrop of a warmer climate. That will alter and, in some cases, exacerbate its impacts.
Just to hammer the point home, imagine this x1000 across the entirety of North America at the same time the ocean rises 50 ft. That's exactly what happened at the end of the pleistocene. And people will still ask "if there was a civilization here, where are their buildings?"
US military got 125K people out in 3 weeks as the Afghan govt collapsed. It was one of the most impressive logistical feats since Dunkirk but it's remembered as a Biden failure b/c reasons. Meanwhile, the Iran War drags into month 7 and the media is bored of covering it
Everything seems to be spinning out of control with the Earth's climate.
Today, Science confirmed in corals that Super El Niño is worst in 2,000 years due to climate change.
+ Massive glacial collapse buried Nepal. Wildfires across the planet, and crushing heat domes.
