I crossed the river to Canada to get some neighborly advice on how to deal with the medical debt that 100 million Americans hold. What I heard will SHOCK you.

Right now, Instacart is quietly running experiments on millions of us while we shop for groceries online. They are trying to figure out exactly how much they can get away with charging you for breakfast cereal, lunch meat, pasta, and everything in between. How do I know? 1/9

I spent sixteen months reporting this story. It was deep, painful, and at times unbearable. It follows how surveillance tech is rewriting Gaza in real time — and what it’s doing to the people inside it. Read in @NYMag

GROUP OF DEATH.
Group D with the USA also consists of Australia, Paraguay, and winner of Playoff C (Turkey, Romania, Slovakia or Kosovo). For what it’s worth, that’s a damn good draw for the U.S. in my opinion!

In response to Matt's piece in @TheArgumentMag : If you zoom out, today’s so-called “postliberal” politics looks less like a break with liberalism than the predictable product of it. https://t.co/lpX5zsGSOd

A response to Matthew Yglesias. What he calls “postliberalism” is often liberalism’s own elite, anemic offspring.
Left-of-liberal identity politics doesn't have an agreed-upon name the way anticapitalist politics does, and thus sneaks into center-left spaces in pretty insidious ways. https://t.co/ItCzlqAwMt

So Trump receives a trophy, a medal (which he puts around his own neck) AND a certificate for winning the FIFA Peace Prize.

Corruption.
What an honor. And such a surprise too "President Donald Trump will take the stage at Friday’s World Cup final draw ceremony at the Kennedy Center in Washington where he will accept FIFA’s inaugural peace prize, according to a draft of the run-of-show obtained by POLITICO."

"Allowing the number one streamer to buy the number three streamer and lock up one of the world’s most significant content libraries would gut competition, harming creators, storytellers, and consumers." More in our statement on why Netflix-Warner Bros. must be blocked👇

This excellent piece by @_waleedshahid is really not to be missed. One of the most succinct and lucid interventions of its kind I've seen. https://t.co/hJsw9I5DDB

CNN found that IDF shot starving Palestinians trying to collect flour. The IDF bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves. Left to decompose, scavenged by dogs, and never documented. Families may never learn what happened to their loved ones. https://t.co/UlzWIWZJIm

Ammar Wadi knew he was risking his life when he set out to get a bag of flour for his family from an aid truck near the Zikim crossing into Gaza in June.

Our poll with @genzforchange and @YouGov found 77% of Democrats over age 65 say Israel is committing genocide. It’s not “TikTok" - Americans from all backgrounds are seeing the horror Israel is perpetrating in Gaza, and they’re outraged our taxes are funding it.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine. She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Abbas is one of the most kind hearted and honorable people you’ll ever meet. He’s too good for politics but that’s all the more reason to support him.
