The rise of new media increases income inequality and deepens partisanship, driving evidence and logic from public debate. Yet, โI feel more confident than ever before that democracy will prevail.โ

The IOF and jewish settlers are burning Jordanian land and no one is talking about it.
They start the fires or they throw light bombs (flares) to destroy crops.
Kareem Al Otol was a hero. An ambulance worker who faced death everyday to save others. Dedicated to God and his community, Kareem left a beautiful legacy amongst Palestinians in Gaza.
The Sameer Project works closely with the ambulance team, where we hosted them during last yearโs displacement, and provide meals and aid to them regularly. Additionally, the ambulance teams support our medical points like Tawba in Jabalia, moving critical patients to hospitals.
Our team were heartbroken this morning when Kareemโs martyrdom was announced as a result of a heart attack. Palestinians in Gaza arenโt just getting killed with bombs but by lack to medical access. Kareem was only 44 years old, and the military occupation stole him away from us. We pray for his family on this tough day, and may Kareem rest in power ๐คฒ๐ฝ

I already know the inevitable โHe's not president anymore, go protest Trumpโ is coming, but letโs not act like this man isnโt the architect of the genocide in Gaza. He doesnโt deserve to go anywhere for the rest of his life without being reminded of his crimes.

Amairaโs family came to our protest today, on her birthday, with food for the students who are protesting.
Amaira was just 9 years old when she died by suicide after being bullied at school. The school was Neerja Modi School, one of Rajasthanโs biggest schools.
After Amaira jumped from the fourth floor, the first thing the school administration did was clean the blood from the spot so that the media and others could not see it.
Eight months later, Amairaโs family is still fighting for justice. Yet no action has been taken against the school administration, the principal, or the teacher.
Today, on Amairaโs birthday, CJP pays tribute to her. We will stand with her family until she gets justice.
Happy Birthday, Amaira.
Leigh McGowan on Mamdani-backed candidates winning: I think the Democratic establishment is freaking out. But I don't think the Democratic voter is. I think the Democratic voter is quite excited that we're finally seeing people with a fight.
British Medical Association votes down IHRA anti-semitism definition to protect doctors criticizing Israel from NHS discipline
โโ
The British Medical Association (BMA), representing over 200,000 UK doctors, has voted to reject the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-semitism within the National Health Service (NHS).
Passed at the union's annual meeting, the motion calls for an immediate investigation into how the definition has been weaponized to suppress legitimate political speech and professional expression regarding Israeli war crimes in Palestine.
The milestone vote directly challenges a recent UK government review by Lord John Mann, which used the IHRA framework to recommend mandatory training, a ban on political symbols, and a prohibition on NHS staff attending protests in uniform.
BMA members also passed emergency measures to halt the rollout of these state directives, overruling internal complaints from some attendees who alleged the motion itself was anti-semitic. The decision follows a surge in what doctors describe as highly organized, malicious doxxing campaigns and vexatious complaints designed to derail their careers.
High-profile figures, including emergency doctor Nadeem Crowe and British-Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sitta, have faced suspensions and regulatory overreach by the General Medical Council (GMC) over social media posts, leading the BMA to legally oppose the GMC's right to appeal and repeatedly investigate doctors cleared of wrongdoing.
