Coates spending the last decade in comics, movies, and fiction, and coming back to no fiction ready to burn all his Obama-era won bridges by unequivocally calling Palestine an occupation and ongoing genocide really underscores the general cowardice of that media class.
Ta-Nehisi Coates’s writing on race fueled a reckoning in America. Now he wants to change the way we think about Israel and Palestine. Read our new cover story now: trib.al/14EyFWS

🚨Israel's systematic RAPE of Palestinians: Palestinian detainees were repeatedly raped on multiple occasions by several Israeli male & female soldiers A detailed complaint was filed with Israel's police, inc. the culprits' identities, but the police is NOT doing anything about it Palestinian victim S.A. (44) was raped on Nov 1, 2023 when soldiers asked him take off all his clothes, then he was asked to bend over and start rotating around an electronic pole. The complaint states “Every time he turned around, the prison guard who was searching him put his fingers in his anus & forcefully inserted a stick into his anus. After that, they put him in a small room, & again the prison guard inserted his fingers & a stick into his anus.” The rape that the prisoner was subjected to was committed in the presence of the commander "Doron" of what is known as "Fortress" in the Negev Prison, the security officer "Raz", and the intelligence officer "Ilan". The detainee from the West Bank adds in his complaint: “After that, I was transferred to another cell and was beaten. They threw me on my stomach, & the prison guards jumped on my back & beat me. At midnight, they returned me to Room No. 14 in Section 27.” The complaint states that on the following day, November 2, a number of prison guards beat S.A. and other prisoners, causing them serious injuries. On November 3, 2023, a number of prison guards & officers stormed the cell of S.A. in the middle of the night, & began beating him & the prisoners with him. They then took him to the bathroom, continued to beat him, & inserted a stick, as well as a carrot and a cucumber, into his anus. This was repeatedly inserted into his anus at least 10 times, causing him severe pain. The second rape incident was committed against two other prisoners in addition to the complainant & it was done in the presence of a FEMALE prison service officer named "Dima", the commander "Doron", the security officer "Raz", the prison service officer "Walid", & the prison guard "Adam", per the complaint. The complaint also stated that on another date that S.A. does not remember exactly, a number of prison guards stormed his cell & one of the prison guards put his hand inside his pants & inserted his fingers into his buttocks. He subsequently requested to be transferred to the prison clinic, but his requests were not met. S.A. indicates in his complaint that he was in a very difficult psychological state after these incidents, as he felt humiliated, afraid and isolated, while his rapists roamed free around him. Israel's police is still delaying its response to the complaint & refusing to clarify whether they have opened any investigation against those named in the complaint, according to the victim's lawyer Wiam Baloum.

A civilization that wasn’t idiotically suicidal would treat every beaver pond as a life-giving water filter, fire break, flood control mechanism, erosion prevention device, fish breeding ground, ambient cooling system, biodiversity hotspot, carbon sink, & drought mitigator
Water samples taken from our beaver pond by Stirling Uni. Samples on left are from above their main dam, on right from below it. All species (including us) need clean water. Dams act as sieves, storing run-off from the land & releasing clean water downstream. Thank you beavers!

“An Idaho law banning minors from receiving healthcare without parent approval has created a legal problem. If a child is raped by their parent, medics now require that parent’s permission to administer the rape kit that would prove their own guilt.” khq.com/news/a-new-idaho-law…

NEW: Billionaire Elon Musk has created a PAC collecting voter data from those living in key states through an online "register to vote" form that does not directly register people to vote. All of this in an effort to help Donald Trump become president. cnb.cx/3A9hEMv

Completely mortifying. The IDF has taken responsibility for the assassination of Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul, slandering him as a Hamas operative, and saying that his "recording and publicizing attacks against IDF troops" meant he deserved to be murdered.

Countless Israelis, including senior government officials, are partaking in a Rape Revolution to protect the right of prison guards to systemically rape Palestinians. Do you fathom how cartoonish that sounds? And yet, despite that, Western journalists are still coddling Israel.
“serious injury to his anus” is an interesting way of saying he was raped. Looks like the @nytimes can’t say the word rape in kidnapped Palestinians in Israeli detention context

The Hind's Hall arrestees refusing to accept any deals offered to them that aren’t also offered to arrestees from CUNY and City College are simultaneously practicing racial, class and internationalist solidarity. Exactly right

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.

Ahmad and his family are presently in Rafah and have seen minimal donations since their campaign was started. At only 21 with an entire life ahead of him, your love and concern can pull his campaign out of stagnation today. Will you answer the call? 🌹 gofundme.com/f/ahmad-aus-gaz…
