It looks like Kamala Harris will lose the largely Muslim south end of Dearborn, Michigan, where Joe Biden won 88 per cent of the vote in 2020. “That’s a bracing slide,” @vcunningham writes. nyer.cm/gPd7d8P

I wrote about the many ways that Israel has made trauma a weapon of war.
About how this exploitation betrays the victims of the past.
And creates many more victims in the present.
It was hard to write. It will be hard to read.
I hope it helps. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

While government politicians parrot soundbites about immigration and asylum-seekers, a huge driver of homelessness in Dublin is family homelessness caused by evictions and the near-impossibility of finding affordable places to rent in the capital.

Creative Scotland to reopen the Open Fund for Individuals after the Scottish government confirmed that £6.6m would be released as promised.
Iain Munro: "“We are sure today’s confirmation of the release of this funding will be welcomed by the creative community."

Confused about the endless ceasefire negotiations that never seem to go anywhere?
That's by design: The endless talk is the smokescreen that covers the the land grabs. The ethnic cleaning. The genocide.
With @mehdirhasan, we get Unshocked about Israel and Washington's "talk and bomb" strategy.
"Extraordinary dishonest"
On this week's #Unshocked, @NaomiAKlein & I break down the lies & gaslighting around the ceasefire negotiations, the real obstacles to a hostage deal, & the pretense that the U.S. is a powerless bystander to it all.

"White supremacy poses an urgent threat to our political stability, social cohesion and general security... it should be clear by now that any concession that is made to bigots does not satisfy but emboldens them."

On the right there (yeah the far right) are the 6 nazis who turned up to cause mayhem.
Everyone else is there to stop them.
This is England.
