Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire.

And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time.

I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

I wonder what was going on then that the antifascist movement was responding to. So weird I can't figure it out

ICE arrested 351 Iranians under Trump up until July 29, according to the latest data. More than 50%, or 183 arrests, came the week after the U.S. bombed Iran during the Israel-Iran war.

"Palestinian voices are treated as always biased, where westerners & Israelis aren't, as if only westerners can be objective. Major media outlets have been silencing Palestinian voices for decades. It's just amplified today bc the suffering is undeniable." — Aline Batarseh

"We see news launder the idea that a free Palestine is, in and of itself, a threat... that we as a people can't be nuanced or difficult, that we have to be a perfect victim... our freedom was something we had to earn, not inherent to us as human beings." @abdallahfayyad.bsky.social

An account given in court by the attorney of a woman who was shot by a Border Patrol agent “really makes it sounds like” the agent “tried to murder an anti-ICE protester in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him,” said one researcher.

In Gaza, another humanitarian crisis has emerged: the soaring displacement expenses — or, as many people in Gaza bitterly describe it, “The fees you pay to become homeless in the south.” Tents cost $1,000 and securing a patch of land to pitch it on can be almost as costly.

Two years of Israel’s genocidal war against every form of life in Gaza have invaded the very core of children’s imagination. Funerals, death, & martyrdom have replaced cartoons, playgrounds, & birthday parties as the themes of their play. Ahmad Abushawish details how Israel stole childhood in Gaza.

“As the genocide rages on, I am still struggling with how the term 'journalist' is given both to those on the ground who have died reporting important stories & those who have been complicit in these atrocities,” writes Samaa Khullar.

When the Orwellian named Dept of Homeland Security was created … MANY of us predicted that it would eventually be doing all the things that it is doing right now

Pinning it uniquely on Trump really misses the point in a bunch of ways

This story — which asks what happened to all of those newsroom DEI jobs, committees, and promises from 2020 — is the hardest one I've ever worked on. I hope you'll spend some time with it today.

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it.

By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

Without offering an opinion on the quality of WSJ's sourcing, we would note that extreme dishonesty has been a longstanding problem with administration sources. Good journalism is served by reporters keeping that in mind in the course of their reporting on this administration.

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.

I was reminded of the child-sized “sugar babies” that were part of Kara Walker’s 2014 exhibition at the Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn, New York. You may recall the enormous white sugar sculpture of a woman rising from the floor of the refinery, colloquially known as the “Mammy Sphinx.” But there were other sculptures with her, tiny ones, the color of molasses. Little boys — toddlers, really — holding baskets and rendered in cast resin, that decomposed in the humidity of the plant. “Mammy” was glorious, resolute, her size blessing her with a spiritual inviolability. But the children, so small, so fragile, so defenseless against meteorological elements that found their way through the cracks and windows of the factory — linger most vividly in my memory, much like the diminutives Wiley has fashioned.

Abram Jackson, the de Young Museum’s director of interpretation, encouraged viewers to take in An Archeology of Silence within the broader context of systemic violence, rather than state violence. The violence Black people endure extends beyond that which is doled out by the police and the criminal justice system more broadly. There is the violence of poverty, of lack, of neglect, of contempt, of ghettoization, of the denial that this violence persists because powerful people allow it to continue. The violence of medical racism, of displacement and despair, of Jim and Jane Crow. The violence of the death-by-a-thousand-cuts weathering that finds us, regardless of our class or congressional district. The violence of witnessing so much premature death, of those little known outside their families or the famous, such as actors Nelsan Ellis, who died at 39, Chadwick Boseman, at 43, Michael K. Williams, 54, and, most recently, Lance Reddick, 60.
