Behind Steph Curry's good-guy image is venture capitalist smoothing the link from Silicon Valley to Israel's intelligence-linked tech sector, writes Lee Escobedo. bit.ly/40tLw04

Why Is Steph Curry Investing in Israeli Security Tech?
The greatest shooter ever is part of a financial ecosystem in which Silicon Valley capital pours into Israeli technology companies with ties to the IDF.

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event. And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.

Horrific: Doctors Without Borders is suspending medical work in Gaza City due to Israel's violence, including airstrikes & tanks less than 1KM from their facilities. Comes same day Netanyahu used his UN speech to scold dozens of nations for accusing him of committing war crimes.
The intense Israeli forces offensive in Gaza City, Palestine, is putting our staff and patients at risk.
• The unacceptable level of risk has led us to reluctantly decide to suspend our lifesaving activities in Gaza City.
• Israeli authorities must immediately guarantee unhindered access and security for humanitarian organisations operating in Gaza City.
GAZA - The relentless Israeli offensive in Gaza City, Palestine, has forced Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to suspend vital medical activities in the area due to the rapidly deteriorating security situation. The situation includes continued airstrikes and advancing tanks less than one kilometre from our healthcare facilities. The escalating attacks from Israeli forces have created an unacceptable level of risk for our staff, forcing us to suspend lifesaving medical activities.
"We have been left with no choice but to stop our activities, as our clinics are encircled by Israeli forces," says Jacob Granger, MSF Emergency Coordinator in Gaza. "This is the last thing we wanted, as the needs in Gaza City are enormous, with the most vulnerable people - infants in neo-natal care, those with severe injuries and life-threatening illnesses - unable to move and in grave danger."
While large numbers of people have fled south due to evacuation orders, there are still hundreds of thousands of pople in Gaza City, who are unable to leave and have no other option but to stay. Those who are able to leave face an impossible choice: either remain in Gaza City under intense military operations and the deterioration of law and order, or abandon what's left of their houses, their belongings, and their memories, to move to areas where humanitarian conditions are rapidly collapsing.At the same time, partially functional hospitals across the Strip are overwhelmed due to severe shortages of staff, supplies, and fuel. Patients also face enormous obstacles reaching care, often arriving late and in critical condition.
Last week alone, and despite the mounting offensive, our clinics in Gaza City carried out over 3,640 consultations and treated 1,655 people with malnutrition. We have also treated patients with severe trauma injuries, burns, as well as pregnant women and others requiring ongoing medical care who are unable to leave the city. This shows the scale of medical needs. Although we have been forced to suspend our activities in Gaza City, we aim to continue supporting key services in Ministry of Health facilities, including Al-Helou and Al-Shifa hospitals, while they continue to function.
Access to and the provision of safe drinking water, food, shelter and care is increasingly restricted. People in Gaza City have been repeatedly and relentlessly bombed. They are exhausted and are being deliberately deprived of the essentials needed to survive.
We call for an immediate halt to the violence and concrete measures at the necessary scale to protect civilians. Israeli authorities must immediately guarantee unhindered access and security for humanitarian organisations operating in Gaza City, and acceptable conditions for the safe and sustained delivery of medical care and humanitarian aid, conditions that are clearly not in place today.

Details on Khalil and the Jena prison he is confined in: - saw child for the first time via 9 photos printed at Walmart - lost 15-20 lbs b/c of vile food - dorms sleep 70 to room in 35 bunks - lights on 24/7 - dorms are kept frigid - the facility was fixed up in advance of congressional visit
Things had improved slightly of late: A congressional delegation had recently traveled to the facility. So, too, had a group of committee staffers. In advance of that national attention, said multiple people familiar with the operation, the facility had brought in a cleaning crew, replaced numerous windows, and repainted. The center even staged a “sanitation contest” among inmates; whoever did the best job of cleaning was to be rewarded with a pizza party.

(“GEO strongly disagrees with the allegations that have been made regarding the services we provide,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “These allegations are part of a long-standing, politically motivated, and radical campaign to abolish ICE and end federal immigration detention by attacking the federal government’s immigration facility contractors.”)

This is fucking crazy. The University is abdicating its responsibility to students. By the way, I would like to note that Jelani Cobb was a negotiator for the University, on the other side of the table from the encampment negotiators -- i.e., Mahmoud. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/n...
Days after immigration officers arrested a prominent pro-Palestinian campus activist, administrators at Columbia University gathered students and faculty from the journalism school and issued a warning.

Students who were not U.S. citizens should avoid publishing work on Gaza, Ukraine and protests related to their former classmate’s arrest, urged Stuart Karle, a First Amendment lawyer and adjunct professor. With about two months to go before graduation, their academic accomplishments — or even their freedom — could be at risk if they attracted the ire of the Trump administration.

“If you have a social media page, make sure it is not filled with commentary on the Middle East,” he told the gathering in Pulitzer Hall. When a Palestinian student objected, the journalism school’s dean, Jelani Cobb, was more direct about the school’s inability to defend international students from federal prosecution.

“Nobody can protect you,” Mr. Cobb said. “These are dangerous times.”
