"Gaza’s Health Ministry says medicine shortages are now killing three cancer patients a day." Reminder that the "official" death count in Gaza (~75,000 now) only includes people killed by violence who were issued a death certificate, usually from a hospital. And Israel bombed all the hospitals.

Just when you think Israel couldn’t sink any lower, morally… they continue to shock mondoweiss.net/2026/08/sile...

a Hagioscope (aka squint) is an architectural device in a church: a dedicated place with a narrow window that limits the field of view to the altar. So that a person could concentrate on the (according to this theology) main part of the service. Think camera zoom, but with no camera, and no zoom!

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Under-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer

State Senate candidate Abbas Alawieh of Dearborn, cofounder of the Uncommitted movement and ex-chief of staff to Rep. Cori Bush, gave a passionate speech Sunday at the annual Arbaeen procession in Dearborn, declaring in Arabic: I’m American.

Wild that people are voting for candidates who are taking positions they are screaming for and promising to actually do things over stale political theater and social media posts that had to be bought for $1,500 a pop. Someone make it make sense.

NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Israel Has Imprisoned a 16-Year-Old Palestinian-American Boy for Two Weeks

Adam Karakrah is one of at least two Americans in Israeli prison – both held while Trump hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity. Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

Funeral rites have begun for the bodies of 122 Gazans whose remains were retrieved in recent days from beneath several homes belonging to the Abu Sharia - Al-Husayna clan in the Sabra area southeast of Gaza City, one year after the strikes that buried them in the rubble.

Meet Tigernos, one of Britain’s earliest named sailors! ⚓️ A Briton and Roman fleet veteran, his story is recorded on the bronze Lanchester Diploma issued by Antoninus Pius in AD 150. It grants him honourable discharge from the Classis Germanica and Roman citizenship. #EpigraphyTuesday #Archaeology

My photo shows the Lanchester Diploma, a rare Roman bronze military diploma on display at Durham Archaeological Museum. The diploma originally consisted of two bronze leaves, each of which has broken into four quarters, making eight fragments. Latin inscriptions can be seen on each fragment. The fragments are green-patinated with age and are mounted on clear acrylic supports. The diploma was issued on 19 November 150 AD by emperor Antoninus Pius and awarded to a Briton named Tigernos who had served in the Roman German fleet known as the Classis Germanicus, probably for a period of 26 years. It records that he was granted an honourable discharge and Roman citizenship on his retirement. It was found by a metal detectorist in 2016 near the Roman fort of Longovicium in Lanchester, County Durham.

“Mullin let slip a very dirty secret indeed: By reforming governing processes, we can broaden legal pathways for immigrants to work in the US in ways that would benefit our economy and our country.” MAGA was furious. Yet more evidence that the purpose of “mass deportations” is ethnic cleansing.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · yesterday

Don't miss this vile story: MAGA is raging at DHS chief Markwayne Mullin for admitting migrant farmworkers can beneft our economy. This means his devotion to ethnic cleansing is in doubt. He must be excommunicated! I wrote about the collapse of MAGA mythology here: newrepublic.com/article/2138...
