The cease-fire in Gaza is more than two months old. But the killing of Palestinians has not yet stopped for more than a day or two at a time.
The Truce Is 2 Months Old. So Why Have Hundreds of Gazans Been Killed?
Since the cease-fire took effect, Israel says it has targeted only militants. But death can come for Gazans while on a family outing or sleeping in a tent.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

Without Trump's unconventional hiring strategy we wouldn't have such great innovations as overseas torture camps and a pointless war with Venezuela.

People are not upset because they think every single member of the American elite is a mass rapist. They're upset because elites downplay and excuse mass rape while obscuring their ties to the rapists — *precisely the thing Brooks did in his column.*

Just really awesome how our financial elite just spent the last several decades admonishing people for pursing the humanities and creative fields, and are now suddenly pedaling the idea that "there are no good ideas anymore" after spending the last 5 years laying off everybody with a brain

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax.

Amazingly, instead of getting paid a billion for the license to their characters, Disney is instead *investing* a billion. Thus inflating the AI bubble to Epcot-sized proportions — and further shackling our economy to this stupid boat anchor most people hate.
