A 9-year-old Palestinian Boy Stood at a Distance. An Israeli Soldier Knelt and Shot Him Dead.

Eyewitnesses say Muhammad stood with his arms folded, posing no threat, when a single, deadly shot was fired. The soldiers later appeared to celebrate. The IDF said the incident is under review.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

This story should not have been published. They hint at an accusation (Mamdani said he is black to get into a fancy college) they can't back up. That this was published tells me that Mamdani's most important opponent may not be Cuomo or Adams but a paper whose NEWS section will run stuff like this.
You know, when I heard that all of our personal data had been hacked, I didn't expect the first major use of it to be the NYT trying to fuck over Zohran but maybe I'm naive www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/n...

Just wanted to re-up this incredibly thoughtful and important thread.
I’m biracial (US dad, Ethiopian mom US born) and moved to Kenya at 4, had lots of Kenyan Indian friends, families there generations. When I moved to the states I didn’t know I was Black or have any idea of the American binary concept of race until someone called me the n word.

My view is that we have a right-wing coalition on campus working with the federal government to try and wrest control of the university and weaken their political enemies. The NYT has repeatedly intervened on behalf of this coalition
The hacker’s motivations were not subtle: they forced Trump’s image on Columbia University screens. They stole personal data to help Trump’s authoritarian attacks on universities. So why aid them? open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

For anyone surprised by Gove's interview with Goodwin, this article appeared in the Spectator yesterday.

Under Nelson, Spectator pushed racist liars like Murray, Taki and Liddle for clicks and money; under Gove, it's a broader ethnonationalist ideological project.
