A person in a suit labelled "people born into wealth" playing a tuba labelled "if you work hard you can achieve anything" directly into the face of a person wearing a helmet and a high-vis jacket labelled "the children of poor people"

Lmao 'test of ceasefire' is funny. They broke the ceasefire. AP has gone from sanewashing and passive voice to outright not understanding the definition of words in the dictionary.

BREAKING: Israel strikes southern Gaza in test of ceasefire.

Israel strikes Gaza in first major test of ceasefire

Israel said it struck Hamas militants in Gaza on Sunday after they shot at Israeli soldiers who were inside the area that is still under Israeli control, according to the conditions of the Oct. 10 ceasefire.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Experts say that some effects of starvation in Gaza can be permanent. And for the severely malnourished, simply starting to eat normal meals again can cause sickness—even death. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/what-comes-after-starvation-in-gaza

Easy to forget or even outright miss if you don't follow things like me but North Carolina Democratic Party was the first, and I believe remains the only, state Democratic Party to label Israel an apartheid state and call for a total arms embargo, offensive and defense, until apartheid ends.

Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

Centrists on Twitter are pretending to be mad that Zohran met with a conservative imam who has met with every almost single mayor of New York City every the last two decades but real heads know the best politician is the one who is socially hyper liberal and gets conservative minority votes anyway.

Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation's foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century. I was also joined by CM @dr_yusefsalaam of Harlem. A beautiful Jummah.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has instructed that the Rafah crossing will not be opened until further notice. Its opening will be considered based on the manner in which Hamas fulfills its part in the return of the deceased hostages and in implementing the agreed-upon framework.

This is a wonderful articulation of how it feels to be a Black person in white spaces, who for reasons of safety has to "laugh along with their own humiliation." This man is a very successful lawyer and will never be safe from it so imagine everyone else. Our identity is inherently political. 💔
