While the Israeli attack on Iran dominates the headlines, Israel has been accelerating its campaign of mass killing in Gaza.

Israeli soldiers have repeatedly gunned down people lining up for food as they stand on the brink of starvation.

London has always opened its arms—and heart—to the world.

For reasons of moral principle, and practical reality.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??
She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.

After 48 years of struggling with absolutely everything in life and trying to mask it I've finally been formally diagnosed with #ADHD. I suspected it for some time but the burnout was eventually insurmountable and something had to give. Hopefully this is the point where my life changes.

The Musk model: just accuse everyone else of lying while you tell demonstrable lies, again and again.

And millions believe it.

We are in an unbelievably dangerous moment for democracy right now, with the entire public square polluted and undermined by the tech bosses.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.
