Francesca Albanese explains that Israel demolishing UNRWA buildings in occupied East Jerusalem is just the latest in a series of attacks going back decades, and is part of wider efforts by Israel to erase the Palestinian presence from what remains of historical Palestine.

That's... a bit on the nose and yet
In horror at the detention of a child, this moment from our reporting on Minneapolis today stands out —

An ICE agent saw a bald eagle while driving with a detained US citizen. The agent said to the driver, “there’s a bald eagle, do you know what that means?” The driver said: “God is on our side.”

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.

What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Even in a renewables-rich country like Norway, booming electricity demand is forcing tough trade-offs — and data centers are becoming a major new contender for scarce grid capacity, report Nicolas Kayser-Bril and Tarjei Leer-Salvesen. Read our latest with AlgorithmWatch:

Just a week ago, Shaat was celebrating his marriage

“We don’t have much time for joy,” he wrote, but “thank god, who allowed us to have our wedding party.”

“Today, I return once again to my work and national duty in the field of journalism,” he said.
