For the sake of transparency, and since the Brown Daily Herald is leading with it: It went out over the scanner earlier that there might be 20 people injured—but it was expressed tentatively and hasn't been confirmed, so we really don't know.

Short term forecast models are trending a bit further north with tonight’s quick-hitting storm. This puts NYC closer to the bands of steady snowfall and raises the chances of light accumulations (1-3”) through Sunday morning. More updates coming soon!

How does that work? Well, look no further. Here, I explain why Israel CANNOT fill the gap left by a US withdrawal. Indeed, we provide irreplaceable capabilities that allow Israel to carry out its war without consequence.
Without the US military, the war ends.

Looking for book recommendations about Palestine for a generalist audience. Ideally, a fictional page turner! I only read boring books very slowly so am of no use and I need to bring this book to a book exchange.
Any suggestions?

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.

Being a member of the CPC is basically meaningless— but if you want to make this sort of intra caucus appeal then maybe Goldman shouldn't have voted for a Republican resolution to censure the only Palestinian in Congress, who is literally also in the CPC.

Not to be pushy, but many people are still subscribed to media services that support Zionism which cost more per month than keeping Palestinian families alive. One of these makes the world better and will bring blessings in this life and the next. The other does the opposite. $5 a week.
