Never forget Ismail Al-Ghoul, the Al Jazeera journalist Israel killed in July 2024 during the first year of the Gaza genocide. He was one of the voices who carried Gaza’s pain to the world, documenting its devastation with a clarity and courage that made him a pillar of truth in

A few notes on Northwestern's deal with the Trump admin, beyond the headline of extorting $75m in exchange for reneging on the deal that led to the end of the encampments 🧵 tldr: The deal is a big step backward, in a few respects the worst one so far

Secret courts against your own citizens are of course what you use when you cannot be transparent, because you are doing really nefarious shit against your own citizens.
At some point in the challenge to the ban on Palestine Action beginning on Wednesday, the co-founder of the direct action group will be asked to leave courtroom five at the Royal Courts of Justice, as will her legal team and most others present. Then the case will continue

respectfully this is actually completely and entirely in line with MANY people who read/make books their personality
I’ve watched the first season of Gilmore girls and the most unrealistic part of the whole show is that a girl could read all those works of great literature and be so utterly untouched by them in her life. Rory’s actions and personality are those of someone who just posed with
