Had US political leaders followed US human rights law, acted in their country’s interests, or shown some semblance of morality, US military spending on Israel since Oct 2023 would not be $38 billion.
www.stephensemler.com/p/us-has-spe...

The US has spent at least $38 billion on Israel since October 2023. The single column chart shows $38.2 billion in US military spending on Israel from October 2023 through September 2025, including: $18 billion arming Israel, $6.1 billion defending Israel, $14.1 billion waging war on Israel’s behalf. Data: Pentagon financial records, enacted legislation, media reports, author analysis. Figures are conservative estimates in constant 2025 US dollars.

Maybe the fire ceased, but the trauma didn't.

Entire families are torn up, Tens of Thousands of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters were KILLED in Israeli airstrikes.

We will never forget and we will never forgive.

And now it's time to pressure our governments - LET journalists INSIDE Gaza!

Haaretz article: "Israel Must Let International Journalists Into Gaza: Our Call as Foregin Press Assocation Members, Israel must lift this unprecedented media blockade immediately. If the israeli government does not act, we urge Israel's Supreme Court to urgently grant our request

Masked agents snatching people at work, church, their child’s daycare. A return of family separations. States are lining up to run their own detention centers.

Anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth — where much of my family still live and where I went for sixth form. It’s a proud, diverse, working-class community.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

The political and media establishment normalises this racism, but we won’t stay silent. We stand with all our communities and against the far-right.
