These plans for Gaza is further subjugation of the Palestinian ppl and is an extension of Israeli colonialism, the fact that Palestinians aren’t allowed to determine their own future and choose how they are governed is infantilising and is done in a way for Israel to retain full control of the areas

Worth noting that despite the ‘ceasefire’ Israel is still blocking aid into Gaza

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 10h

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35.

Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

With the ever-expanding schedule, my view on optimal squad building has started to evolve, and it looks like Arsenal has had similar changes - Is Mikel Arteta starting to crack rotation? www.cannonstats.com/p/is-mikel-a...

Is Mikel Arteta starting to crack rotation?

Fixture congestion being a problem feels like it might be a thing of the past. The 2025/26 squad depth can turn this from a weakness to a strength.

Turns out: new WWE contracts have a ONE YEAR non-compete clause if someone is fired for cause or breach of contract.

Talent were not informed of this change from previous contracts.

Which means WWE is claiming Andrade cannot work in wrestling FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR because he was fired.

NEW: Seth Moulton becomes the first candidate in a Democratic primary for Senate to officially announce that he will return and henceforth reject donations from AIPAC

Seth for
Massachusetts
I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them. The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations. Below is my statement explaining why:
I'm cautiously optimistic that the recent breakthrough in Gaza will move us closer to ending the horrific violence in the region. A political resolution that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace is exactly the kind of framework I've been calling for from the beginning.
I support Israel's right to exist, but l've also never been afraid to disagree openly with AIPAC when I believe they're wrong.
In recent years, AIPAC has aligned itself too closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. I'm a friend of Israel, but not of its current government, and AlPAC's mission today is to back that government. I don't support that direction. That's why l've decided to return the donations I've received and will not be accepting their support.

If physicians who are trained on AI and rely on AI to diagnose patients would identify themselves as doing so, that would be great, i can avoid you lot

It seems inevitable that the future of medicine will involve A.I., and medical schools are already encouraging students to use large language models. “I’m worried these tools will erode my ability to make an independent diagnosis,” Benjamin Popokh, a medical student at University of Texas Southwestern, told me. Popokh decided to become a doctor after a twelve-year-old cousin died of a brain tumor. On a recent rotation, his professors asked his class to work through a case using A.I. tools such as ChatGPT and OpenEvidence, an increasingly popular medical L.L.M. that provides free access to health-care professionals. Each chatbot correctly
