💢 Israeli strike kills Lebanese radio journalist in her home, Committee to Protect Journalists reports

Ghada Dayekh, a presenter with privately owned Sawt Al-Farah radio, was killed when an Israeli airstrike hit her apartment building in the southern coastal city of Tyre, destroying it, according to the outlet’s director. Dayekh had worked at the station for decades and had been on air for 37 years.

CPJ said her killing reflects a “continued pattern of harm against the press.” Her killing brings the number of journalists killed in Lebanon during the current conflict to six, including Mohammed Sherri, Hussain Hamood, Ali Shoaib, Fatima Ftouni, and Mohamad Ftouni. At least eight journalists have been killed since the Iran war began on February 28, according to CPJ.

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Reminder: There's no such thing as a "moderate" ideology. There exists no set of ideas upon which moderates agree. That's why efforts to create centrist parties always fail. A "moderate" Dem is one who embraces Republican policies. The real question: What are those policies?

Giving up in advance is exactly what authoritarians want you to do. Because they know that giving up gives them more power that they don't actually have. They're counting on people's apathy and nihilism to help them. Doomerism is not helpful.

This is exactly what @sethcotlar.bsky.social & @badtoss.bsky.social were talking about yesterday. Christians, especially evangelicals, can assert their beliefs that their religious beliefs should be the law of the land, while also being treated as not “political,” in ways no other group is allowed.

Many of us are exhausted having worked to learn the truth of our own history on our own, but also having to learn the history of American white people that most white ppl refuse to learn. That is partly why when you say “why are you surprised” it’s so annoying. Believe me, we are not surprised!

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

If ppl actually practiced solidarity w/ disabled ppl &masked, this wouldn't happen. The left's embrace of eugenics ensures this outcome; lack of solidarity reinforces vulnerability. As long as the left refuses to grapple w/ its eugenics problem our so-called anti-fascist movement exists in name only

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.

I also want to note than I’m a regular person. I have a 9-5. I do live with my partner, so another income helps. I have $300 in savings, and the reality is that I will probably empty that in a week or two. I absolutely get the risk. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was scared

6/ Another example is, “Good news. Your tests are all normal.” We explain that this might not be viewed as “good news” to a patient who still feels sick. An alternative is, “The tests we have run so far are not showing any abnormalities, and the good news is we have excluded certain conditions”

doing evil things because someone told you to do them does in fact make you evil. if you need to tell someone you're not evil but are just following orders, you need to not follow the orders. this is pretty straightforward.

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.
