Irish News: "Palestinians return to ruins as Gaza ceasefire holds."

The Gazans who survived have no home, no work and nothing left of their cities. They rely on our direct donations.

Police state fascism in America is bigger than Trump. It's backed by Democrats just like Republicans. And it's not going anywhere

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The government has executed more people in 2025 than any year in over a decade — and there are five more executions scheduled over the next week.

Just a handful of states are responsible for these executions, and they’re increasingly out of step with public opinion.

Israel is now saying the ceasefire will take effect "within 24 hours" as opposed to 10am today as initially planned. So yeah, just announced a delay for no reason and started shooting people trying to go home who thought there was a ceasefire in effect. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...

one that I've noticed is that the A'ja Wilson experience is so much more fun because WNBA fans/media don't prop up current greats by tearing down the past. we're not doing Maya Moore vs. A'ja Wilson on First Take every morning. as a longtime NBA fan, that's refreshing
