Some of the most fervent pushback to Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza is coming from the same people, institutions, and newsrooms that refused to challenge, and even supported, the mass slaughter of Palestinians during the Biden administration. buff.ly/4k4uwpS #Palestine #Israel

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen. What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

“Much of the story…comes down to a small network of medical providers who found ways to prescribe and ship abortion pills around the country…Outrage over the Dobbs decision also spurred a wave of donations and educational campaigns that helped expand access to in-person abortions at clinics.”

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

'No recourse to public funds' has been successfully challenged in the UK courts! The UK govt policy breaches a duty of care because long wait times for immigration decisions mean people are left destitute with no means to support themselves or get support.

Tomorrow is probably the last chance for Congress to do anything a/b the admin's Gaza policy. The way the Biden admin has tried to gaslight the public re: Israel's actions is both completely unsurprising & totally unbelievable. 8 int'l orgs say Israel hasn't met any US criteria, Biden shrugs.

Amsterdam's mayor was one of those who described events there as a 'pogrom'. She has now publicly renounced what she said, and offered regret for erasing Maccabi violence - and how the narrative whipped up anti-Muslim and anti-Arab violence. The story continues to fall apart youtu.be/4H_ozYgHpoM
