Took a usual departure from my usual politics coverage to write w/ my colleague Graham Womack about Sacramento writer William Vollmann, who’s dying of terminal cancer, has a book out this month and is giving his first public reading Saturday https://t.co/bt379cbAeJ
For those who believe we don’t have organized and coordinated censorship of the press in the United States: a billionaire family that has publicly declared Israel to be its single political issue, and is the single largest donor to Friends of the IDF, is buying up the entirety of the American media so any journalist critical of Israel doesn’t get a job, and any story critical of Israel doesn’t get broadcast.
🚨A Cuban man who ICE was actively force feeding in detention this month is no longer appearing in the system.
He had/has no legal representation and was in segregation because of his hunger strike — essentially incommunicado while ICE was force feeding him.
This locator system was the only way to verify if he was still in the same facility where they force fed him.
Extremely troubling
Bari Weiss murdered Refaat Alareer by falsely painting him as a terrorist with her platforms.
The IDF acted on her words, killing the poet professor and his entire family.
WOW!
Haaretz investigation is a MUST-READ!
The Netanyahu gov received numerous warnings - incl from the UAE's ruler 10 days before Oct 7 - that Hamas was planning an attack.
The ultimate source of the warning was Hamas' own Sinwar.
Netanyahu ignored all the warnings and took no precautions. He didn't even convey it to the Israeli intelligence apparatus.
But there's more. Immediately after Oct 7, Hamas offered to release all the civilian hostages - without asking for anything in return. The Biden admin was aware of this as well. But Israel wasn't interested, leaving both Hamas and the Qatari mediators baffled.
So much bloodshed could have been avoided. So many innocent lives could have been spared. But Netanyahu appeared to have been uninterested - and Biden, of course, never put any real pressure on Israel - effectively allowing Netanyahu to determine US policy.

Coco Vandeweigh just described Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek as having a different type of quickness and when asked to elaborate she got even more racist by essentially saying with Iga it’s deceptive where as it comes natural and is more fluid for Coco
