It's a travesty that reporting of the ongoing genocide in Gaza has to take place to a shocking degree by comparing satellite images over time. This is a very good, long form article. www.reuters.com/graphics/ISR...
How Israel’s multi-ton truck bombs ripped through Gaza City
In the weeks before the ceasefire, Israel deployed a new weapon: Armoured Personnel Carriers repurposed as explosive-laden bombs.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Donald Trump sent young women from his spa at Mar-a-Lago to give “massages” to Jeffrey Epstein.

“The house calls went on for years.”

What Harmeet Dhillon is doing here is known in a different context as fan service. DOJ won’t secure convictions for this stuff. But MAGA demands it!

Also: I assume Dhillon wants to be AG if/when the Bondi-Trump relationship goes south. This is part of her sizzle reel.
This is not how a normal Justice Department talks about an ongoing investigation—or about putative targets and their uncharged conduct.

Rep. Thomas Massie points out over-redaction of the DOJ's release of the #Epstein files is damning. Only *victims* were to be redacted, not comms, decisions, co-conspirators.

And we've seen in the NYT MTG interview, Trump sees *his perv friends as victims*, not the survivors of #Epstein's crimes.

The three-year global temperature average has exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time on record.

This isn’t a projection; it’s happening now.

I will never be able to forgive South African born Elon Musk for the damage he & DOGE did to our government. He is clearly a racist elitist who does not care about less fortunate people.

I will therefore never buy a Tesla or any other product from a Musk company.

Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

I just learned that this incredibly flawed story was put on the front page of the newspaper, and that certainly seems like an editorial choice
New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!

So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵
