In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

It’s a material reality that right now the AI tech bubble is holding up the empire. It increasingly powers all commerce, and is central to the most invasive surveillance apparatus the world has ever seen. Predictive analytics trained on our data have allowed billionaires to track us like wildlife.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>What <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/us" target="_blank">US</a> President Donald Trump unveiled in Washington this week was not a peace plan, but a parody of one; a deal proclaimed as a breakthrough, yet negotiated between an American enabler and an <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israeli</a> perpetrator - with the very people whose fate it decides erased from the stage. </p>
<p>Trump sat beaming beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, thanking him for “agreeing” to a plan he had written himself, while <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinians</a> were nowhere in the picture. No Hamas, no Palestinian Authority - not even a token presence to lend the charade a hint of credibility.</p>
<p>It continues the same colonial logic that birthed the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-gulf-normalisation-deals-support-plummets" target="_blank">Abraham Accords</a>: strike deals over Palestine without Palestinians. Celebrate “peace” while ignoring <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/occupation" target="_blank">occupation</a>, blockade and ethnic cleansing. Parrot the language of reconciliation while systematically excluding the only people who have the right to speak for themselves.</p>
<p>This deal is not negotiation; it is imposition. It is surrender dressed up as statesmanship. </p>

I am quoted here so let me be totally clear on my take: Jonathan Greenblatt has made a calculated choice to aid the consolidation of authoritarian power by the MAGA movement in exchange for the suppression of criticism of Israel. And the consequences for American Jews will be devastating.
I spoke with 40+ sources for a look inside the Anti-Defamation League. Here’s some of what I found.
ADL’s gentle response to Elon Musk’s infamous salute was partially driven by his support of Israel. To ADL, that indicated he didn’t have “antisemitic tendencies.” (1/x)

One outcome we need to see is every single ICE employee standing in front of a tribunal for their part in ethnic cleansing, which is certainly not going to happen today, but it's a good goal to put up on the board, because it helps us think about everything that needs to change so we can achieve it.

The entire establishment from both sides is aiming all of its money and firepower against Zohran Mamdani. Very telling. This is what they're threatened by and who they are willing to crush.

My latest — The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears I’ve seen in my years covering politics.
I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:

The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic'
It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.
