As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran.
Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve.
Exactly what Netanyahu wanted.
They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

@jonlovett.bsky.social on Trump's tariffs: "It is only possible because Republicans refuse to take back the power that they have... The problem is not that we put the worst human being in public life in the most powerful job in the world, it is that he is enabled by Republicans around him."

In a speech at Yale Law, JD Vance's alma mater, Rep. Ro Khanna said Vance's affiliation with the school is a "stain on the degree of every Yale graduate."

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

People’s reactions to these stories tend to be of the leopards-eating-faces variety but this is a great piece of reporting in part about how voters very disconnected from politics make their choices.

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.
