The imagery out of Rafah today is as bad as the worst I've seen from Syria and Ukraine. Profoundly horrible

Action Aid says Israeli fighter jets launched 8 missiles at makeshift shelters housing displaced people next to UNRWA warehouses stocking aid in Rafah tonight. They said children, women,men are being burned alive under their tents. So far 50 burned bodies recovered ActionAid UK

NEW: Yesterday, Michael Fanone — the former police officer who was nearly killed by Trump rioters who actually believed the former president's lies about the 2020 election — called Donald Trump an "authoritarian" with "a violence fetish." Hours later, his mom was swatted.

Each year I feel a duty to remind people of the massacre of 3/4 June 1989 around Tiananmen Sq. And each year I get assailed by bots and others, doing the job of Chinese Communist Party propaganda, who claim it didn’t happen or was all a US-plot. Sorry: it did, and it wasn’t.

A dumb but big burglar comes to your house and offers you peace in exchange for you giving up half of your house with your kid in it (for now), your self-defense weapon, and for you not to call the police in the future. Do you take the deal?

This image of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, which currently has 1.8 million views, is AI-generated and fake.

I cannot stress this enough. The Russians besieged, bombarded & starved Aleppo, and all the international community did was plead with Russia via the UNSC to allow an aid convoy in. One aid convoy. Russia agreed. Then they bombed the UN aid convoy. x.com/EliotHiggins/s…

For some reason, Elon Musk's X is now claiming the link to this article about Russia bombing a children's hospital is unsafe, because apparently it has "been identified by X or our partners as being potentially spammy or unsafe". Unsafe to who, Putin? 🤔

Today I was fired from the Wall Street Journal. This is my statement:

In the course of reporting on Patel, and the threat that he and other loyalists like him would pose to the country in a second Trump term, I struggled to shake what I learned about a series of events that took place on October 30, 2020. I want to share them with you here. 🧵

Anyway, if you've made it this far, I hope you'll read the whole story, from our October issue, here: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Remember this meme Elon Musk posted? Apparently it was created by someone named Sofiya, who worked for a Russian government agency sanctioned by the US and aimed at spreading propaganda in the West. Схеми got access to a massive data leak and uncovered some interesting details.

One of the biggest lessons from Syria is that, just a month ago, almost no one could have predicted the Assad regime would fall today. The "realities on the ground" crowd would have denied such a possibility. A reminder of why people in Ukraine fight rather than surrender.

What a disgraceful day for the US. Shame on you, Secretary Marco Rubio Keith Kellogg

On March 5, 1940, a decision was made in Moscow to murder over 22 thousand Polish war prisoners. May the memory of the Russian lie and Katyń crime be a warning for the world. Let us always call it as it is: a crime is a crime, a victim - a victim, an aggressor - an aggressor.

Kremlin officials announced their intention of taking advantage of the suspension of US military aid and intelligence sharing to make additional battlefield gains.

Huge win for Putin and every dictator and dictator-in-the-making globally if RFE/RL, Voice of America and other U.S.-funded media shut down. They were forcing them out of their countries, fearing independent media. Now they won’t have to. Insanely harmful decision for U.S.
