So happy beyond words to see these two incredibly relentless & talented young journalists & writers from Gaza surviving the genocide & relocating to the UK.
Ahmed Abu-Shawish, left, and Ali Skaik, right, have made Palestine so proud through their immensely profound reporting.

Wrote about the arrests outside Netanyahu's speech at the UN for @thenation: thenation.com/article/activi…

Netanyahu is the architect of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. He is a war criminal and a fugitive charged by the ICC.
He can, and must, be arrested and prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

So grateful to @jackmirkinson @thenation for a detailed discussion of why CROSSING THE RED LINE is key to a foreign policy that's more humane, effective and accountable to those paying officials' salaries.
Please support this message by buying the book: bookshop.org/p/books/crossin…
Today in @thenation: I had a great chat with @AkbarSAhmed about his essential new book on Joe Biden's support for the Gaza genocide. It is as damning a portrait of how a presidency operates as you will ever read. thenation.com/article/politi…

Republicans won in 2024 arguing Democrats were too obsessed with trans people to focus on the economy. As billionaires like Elon Musk flood the airwaves with anti-trans ads amid Trump's own floundering economy, Democrats have a chance to flip the tables. My latest for @thenation

It’s part 3 of our ongoing series, “What the Fuck Is Wrong With You Ed Sheeran.” Today we’ve got the icon
@kath_krueger in the chair, and we get into Sheeran’s self-pitying tears and his refusal to say the truth about Palestine. Tune in! discourseblog.com/p/the-worl…

Netanyahu can be arrested under U.S. law, even if not in pursuit of the ICC arrest warrant.

On the eve of Netanyahu's visit to the UN, We (@HindRFoundation) are in @thenation arguing that the US is able & obligated to arrest him under US law
But it won't act, which is why lawmakers must begin taking concrete steps to hold Israeli perpetrators accountable

I just checked this on a woman I'm writing about and indeed she is no longer showing up in the system. This is insane.
🚨NEW from @AP: ICE is now electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.
As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

This weekend, Ed Sheeran sat down on stage and cried—not about anything happening in Palestine, but about what was happening to him. He could not have been clearer about where he stands, what he cares about—and what he doesn’t. discourseblog.com/p/the-sham…
A message to Pink/Ed Sheeran/etc: If people saying “Free Palestine” and being against genocide makes you feel bad, take your complaints up with Israel, not the rest of us!!!!
We talked about this on Discourse Pod—you can find the full convo here: discourseblog.com/p/je-suis-…
congrats ed one of the most racist people in america is on your side!!!
😬 Rep. Randy Fine is defending Ed Sheeran & Robert Kraft's decision to boot Macklemore, telling @hicharliecotton the rapper can say what he wants, but nobody has to give him a stage.
ed sheeran is finding out what politicians have been finding out for the last three years: palestine is the cause of our time for millions of people and they will not be pushed around about it. this is the new normal
this is so fucking cool
BREAKING: EVERY scheduled opening act on Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour has now withdrawn after Macklemore was dropped over his pro-Palestinian remarks.
Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Finneas have all pulled out, while Sheeran’s touring band Beoga has also quit. Each cited solidarity with Macklemore, Palestinians, or opposition to artists being silenced.
my "i am not complicit" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt
Ed Sheeran speaks out after Macklemore was dropped from his tour for speaking out for Palestine:
“I am not complicit. I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care. Nor does it mean I don't support causes in my own, personal way.”
