“Israel has not prosecuted its citizens for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian analysis of legal data and public records show, creating impunity for a campaign of violence” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

The foreign-born fraction of the US population was 15% in 1890, and in 1910. America thrived. That fraction is 16% now. The difference is that in 1890/1910, >96% of immigrants were from Europe or Canada. Today that's less than 10%. It's best to be honest about one one is actually afraid of.

Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

🇺🇸💔🇪🇺 Trump’s 2025 UN speech was the longest U.S. address on record and the most negative toward Europe. This is the focus of my first Medium article, where I track how Europe appears in U.S. UNGA speeches from 1946–2025 and visualize the results. 📖 Read on Medium: medium.com/@alfredo-hs/...

'Following Israel’s ‘pre-emptive strike’ on Iran earlier this month, which happened just as more people started speaking up about the genocide, attention has been averted from Gaza. But Israel’s assault on Gaza (and the West Bank), is continuing apace.'

In 1963, Bernard Cohen wrote the press may not tell people what to think, but it does tell them what to think *about*. Similarly, in 1960s protests and media made civil rights salient. All to say, politicians may struggle to shape mass opinion, but they can influence which issues are salient.

Line graph titled "Public opinion on the 'Most Important Problem,' 1950 to 1979." The y-axis shows the percentage of respondents citing a given issue as the most important problem, ranging from 0% to over 60%. The x-axis spans years 1950 to 1980, with vertical dashed lines marking presidential elections from 1960 to 1972. Four colored lines represent different issue categories: Foreign Affairs (f): Dark blue line, dominant until mid-1960s, peaks around 1965, then declines steadily. Economy (e): Yellow-green line, declines from 30% in 1950s to below 20% in 1960s, then spikes dramatically around 1974 to over 60%. Civil Rights (c): Purple line, nearly flat at low levels until a sharp peak around 1963–1965, then falls sharply. Social Control (s): Teal line, low and flat until a sharp rise in late 1960s, peaking around 1970–1972. Two red arrows highlight peaks: one for "civil rights" around 1963–1965, and one for "social control" around 1970–1972. Scatterplot points with letters ("f", "e", "c", "s") show individual data points used to estimate trend lines. Source: Omar Wasow (@owasow), with URL to research: http://j.mp/agenda-seeding

Perhaps we're getting closer to that day. Can't help but think of those who said it was "too complicated", who cast doubt on the death tolls, who claimed the images from Gaza couldn't be trusted.

One day, everyone will have always been against this.

Alarming amount of destruction in Rafah visible in recent @planet.com imagery. The city, already heavily damaged by the IDF previously, is now almost entirely gone with previously intact neighborhoods like Al Jneineh or Khirbet Al 'Adas now being further demolished. Comparison of April 29 & May 7.

A PlanetScope image from Planet Labs showing southern Gaza's city of Rafah on April 29. A large amount of destruction is visible, with much of the city having been demolished by the IDF. Rafah's municipal stadium is visible with a UAE Field Hospital and the newly created "Moraj Corridor" road is visible.A PlanetScope image from Planet Labs showing southern Gaza's city of Rafah on April 29.

This is a tragedy and a historic shame. The public has a very strong interest in the intelligent, deep, and yes, highly balanced & non-partisan reporting that these institutions have given us my entire life. Endorsing InfoWars/Newsmax spittle while attacking PBS is perverse and contemptible.

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.
