Massie may have lost his seat, but the questions he raised are no longer confined to the margins. And once a political taboo is broken in public, money can punish the messenger, but it cannot force the country to unknow what it has already seen. substacktools.com/sharex/cmGIi...
Massie Lost. But the Taboo He Broke Can't Be Bought Back
34 million bought a congressional seat — but not the silence Washington expected.

Nearly 500 days after math teacher Jason Agan was fired for sexually harassing students at one California school, the state decided to suspend his license for just seven days, two of which fell on a weekend. He’s still teaching. With @kqednews.kqed.org

Francesca is not just a UN official or a legal case. She is a human, a mother, a friend, and frankly, a force of nature. She shows us that the fight for justice is not separate from the fight for our own humanity; that when we stand with the vulnerable, we are ultimately standing for ourselves.

In choosing Dr. Abu Safiya, we are choosing the principle that healing is never a crime. We are choosing the world that Dr. Abu Safiya fought to create—one where children are healed, not harmed, where healers are protected, not punished, and where human dignity remains, always, non-negotiable.

The Price Of Normalization Is A Frozen Child
Children are freezing to death in Gaza while Arab and European states sign weapons, gas, and security contracts with a rogue regime committing genocide.

Israel violated the ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza 47 times — killing 38 Palestinians and injured 143. Today, 11 members of the same family were killed when their bus was struck by an Israeli tank shell. This is a continuation of genocide by other means.
How They're Rebuilding Gaza's Cage and Calling It Peace
The world calls it reconstruction. Israel calls it security. But for Palestinians, it’s the rebranding of slow genocide.

Australia’s own history is stained with the genocide of Indigenous peoples. To atone, Australia must not only confront its past but act now to stop Israeli genocide in Gaza. Real solidarity means learning from history, not repeating it. Australia cannot condemn genocide while fueling it.
Australia’s Words of Outrage Can’t Hide Its Complicity in Israel’s Genocide
Words of outrage mean nothing when they are backed by permits that enable the mass murder of children daily.

Expecting Trump to halt Israel’s Gaza genocide is like asking an arsonist to douse his fire. His career thrives on loyalty to extremist donors & propaganda hiding HR violations. Only global outrage & political isolation might sway him. 🔗 ahmedeldin.substack.com/p/trumps-hos...

I asked Gabor Maté where young people can find hope & his answer stunned me. He also told me to look to people like Francesca Albanese— whom he called “an avatar of truth.” The full convo is packed with profound truths you don’t want to miss. youtu.be/fM6IsawCsNg?...
Every day, Zionist talking points are packaged as news by anchors with AIPAC ties. IDF propaganda floods our feeds, disguised as ads. But when Palestinians share raw footage of their reality, we’re told to ignore it, dismiss it, pretend it doesn’t exist.
Israel Is Starving Its Own Hostages
Israel’s war machine has turned its genocidal gaze so fully toward erasing the Palestinian people, that in the process, it is starving its own.

Israel killed 92 Palestinians today. You probably didn’t hear about it. That’s how genocide becomes routine—when mass killing scrolls by unnoticed, and international law stays silent because it’s Israel pulling the trigger. ahmedeldin.substack.com/p/a-year-and...
A Year and a Half of Genocide—And Still, No One Stops the Killer
It’s hard to stomach how comfortable the world has become with Palestinian death. It’s harder still to watch how selective the law becomes when Israel is the one doing the killing.
