"This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity" (in horrifying detail). Gaza.
Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous. Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream. Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering. Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs. At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gazaโ€™s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas. This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity. What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

Optimistic take: It is not too late to overturn Citizens United.
A judge has ruled that corporations can vote in some Delaware elections. Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz said the town of Fenwick Island was not diluting human votes by allowing companies โ€‹and other legal entities that own property to cast votes in municipal elections. These "legal entities" and corporations make up about 12% of registered voters in the town. In total Delaware has far more โ€‹corporations chartered in the state than residents. Judge Karsnitz rejected the constitutional arguments of the ACLU, including the claim that "entity" or corporate voting dilutes the political power of living people.

The israel-linked PACs (see MAGA KY as the largest donor in the KY4 race) are breaking all congressional primary spending records (previously held to oust Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush in the last cycle) to retire America First @RepThomasMassie. aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/โ€ฆ

Pope confirms that the Vatican has been threatened with US military force for its antiwar statements.
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place โ€” and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagonโ€™s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagonโ€™s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
