We are disturbed to learn that @CalgaryOpera has removed bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from future performances of "Tosca" after he unveiled a Palestinian flag during the curtain call on opening night. Art is political, and artists should not be punished for expressing support for the Palestinian people as they face a genocide. This decision must be reversed.

"Mada Masr's Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah was summoned on Monday by Egypt's Supreme State Security Prosecution. In less than a month, Egyptian authorities have detained an entire newsroom, and summoned journalist Rasha Azab. CPJ is deeply concerned by this unprecedented crackdown on independent journalism. It must end immediately." — Sara Qudah, MENA Regional Director @MadaMasr #JournalismIsNotACrime

Lina Attalah, Mada Masr’s editor-in-chief, received a summons today from the Supreme State Security Prosecution to attend a questioning session on Wednesday, October 21. The summons did not say why she is being questioned. The new investigation, Case 9072/2026, is the sixth case brought against Mada Masr, its journalists and its editor-in-chief in the past six years. The most recent was in August 2025, when the security prosecution released Attalah on LE30,000 bail. She was questioned at the time on charges of “broadcasting false news” and “using a website without a license,” based on a National Security Agency investigation report, in relation to a Mada Masr story on prisoners’ complaints of abuse in detention facilities. When asked why she trusted the sources cited in the story, Attalah said she had abided by professional journalistic standards and had acted in the public interest. She also pointed to the legally protected right to inform authorities of events through publication, noting that the outlet presents a full range of viewpoints. storage.googleapis.com/madam…

What’s happening in France is a wake-up call to the entire world. 🌍 The cost of living keeps rising while everyday people struggle to survive. People are tired of working hard just to barely get by. Governments need to start listening to the people before frustration turns into chaos. 💯🙏🏽

Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died: Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable? Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm. Wonder what’s changed?
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

We now have hard data demonstrating that anti-Muslim animus spikes during election cycles because too many politicians have come to view it as a winning gambit rather than a cost. We proved that gambit wrong in New York City and we will do it again in Michigan.

And what degree qualified him to take the country hostage
Egyptian President el-Sisi: From now until 2030, we have approximately 43 months left. We are talking about 30 months of preparation for people holding doctorates, whether from prestigious Egyptian universities or prestigious foreign universities. A comprehensive mechanism will be established, overseen by the speaker of the Egyptian parliament, together with a group of trusted intellectuals, politicians, the minister of higher education and the minister of justice. Whether there are 200, 300, 500 or 1,000 of them, they will spend 30 months here at the Academy learning what a state is, what its capabilities and resources are, and how to preserve them. The Egyptian people will then have the opportunity to elect and choose from among this elite.

There is something cute in seeing the exact same propaganda every few months, while best they can do is bombing the hell out of Sudanese miners forced into slavery by RSF. They have lost Suez advantage due to being scared of Yemen, but surely can flex muscles.

Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in May 2021 and though her death was the most investigated of any Palestinian in history, no one was held accountable. That impunity led to the killing of nearly 300 journalists in Gaza and settler attacks like the one today.
