We need to make the Hippocratic underground a robust reality—and we need to do so immediately. People are suffering and dying because of state-imposed obstacles to essential care.

This really highlights how negotiations between Israel and Palestine are negotiations between an occupier and an occupied people.

It is impossible to understand the rage and furor that is fueling the Trumpist project without grappling with this first: They really believe the “leftist” revolution has successfully taken over the institutions which are now being used to subvert the “will of the people” and destroy “real America.”

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.

The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.
Live updates: Israel says Hamas hands over first 7 hostages to Red Cross as part of Gaza ceasefire
The key exchange follows a breakthrough ceasefire after two years of war. U.S. President Donald Trump was also arriving in the region along with other leaders to discuss the U.S.-proposed deal and postwar plans.

Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew
Failing and Flying Jack Gilbert Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew. It’s the same when love comes to an end, or the marriage fails and people say they knew it was a mistake, that everybody said it would never work. That she was old enough to know better. But anything worth doing is worth doing badly. Like being there by that summer ocean on the other side of the island while love was fading out of her, the stars burning so extravagantly those nights that anyone could tell you they would never last. Every morning she was asleep in my bed like a visitation, the gentleness in her like antelope standing in the dawn mist. Each afternoon I watched her coming back through the hot stony field after swimming, the sea light behind her and the huge sky on the other side of that. Listened to her while we ate lunch. How can they say the marriage failed? Like the people who came back from Provence (when it was Provence) and said it was pretty but the food was greasy. I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell, but just coming to the end of his triumph.

It's very important to understand just how much geopolitical power is currently held by a guy who is going around loudly announcing how he's seeing the Antichrist around every corner.

(He has also recently claimed to see the Antichrist in Greta Thunberg)

This is like Katrina with “looting” vs “looking for supplies”
Two pictures of survivors of hurricane katrina. In the top one a Black man is described as a looter, in the bottom one a white couple is described as “finding” bread and soda in a local grocery store.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

the reason many jews, including non- and anti-zionists, are upset by this meme is because it relies on an older antisemitic trope about jews being a parasitic race with no culture of our own. but a consequence of diaspora is that our culture has always been enmeshed with the societies we live in.
