On July 2, Hamas accepted the ceasefire terms proposed by Joe Biden and ratified by the UN Security Council. Benjamin Netanyahu waged a sabotage campaign and torched the deal. Israel then expanded its wars. Let’s check in on latest New York Times coverage of this situation:

Just saw the remains of 20-year-old Palestinian journalist Hassan Hamad reduced to a plastic bag and a shoebox. According to a fresh tally from CPJ, 123 journalists have now been killed in Israeli strikes. If you're a journalist and you're not speaking out in solidarity ... why?

Outrageous to talk about standing with Jewish communities whilst posing for a photo with Tzipi Hotovely. The Israeli Ambassador who has consistently tried to justify an ongoing genocide as Jewish safety. This is not in our name - and it's deeply insulting to pretend it is.

"Labour’s PR team want you to believe the scheme centres on capturing carbon from existing industries. Instead, the plans are an extraordinary coup for oil and gas companies, funnelling public wealth to finance new fossil fuel infrastructure in Britain." novaramedia.com/2024/10/08/lab…

Today EPA finalized a rule that will remove all lead pipes from the US in a decade. This rule -- which will vanish from news coverage in a flash & most Americans will never hear about -- will do more for child welfare than anything the GOP has ever done. washingtonpost.com/climate-soluti…

It used to at least make the news when Israel forced babies from incubators. Now, this is accepted as normal. Dehumanisation and total destruction are viewed by our governments as legitimate war aims. The psychic violence of this process is incalculable.

When you dig into the hidden detail of the government's carbon capture and storage programme, the sheer scale of fiscal and environmental irresponsibility is hard to comprehend. We could be on the hook for £50 billion, with zero benefit. My column. 🧵 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yes that video is real. Yes you just watched Palestinians be burned alive in a hospital. Yes one man was still in his hospital bed. Yes you can still speak up about this. Yes you can change your mind. Yes you can start now. Yes we need you to start screaming alongside us.

The efficiency with which this towering idiotic tweet made me lose almost all respect for John and his analysis, is honestly impressive. Finally, some real private sector efficiency!

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk says that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is at its darkest moment yet and warns of potential crimes against humanity: "Unimaginably, the situation is getting worse by the day. The Israeli Government’s policies and practices in northern Gaza

Elon Musk admits that he and Trump will crash the economy, but it’s okay, because they’ll build a better world from the rubble. Not exaggerating, he just said it.

Last night I couldn’t sleep (what’s new), so naturally I spent 3 hours going down the Twitter rabbit hole of white women in the suburbs who love Harris but are married to a male Trump supporter. It’s this whole other world of women of all ages sharing their plans and fears. 🧵

All three of us in my canvassing group had multiple instances of a Republican man not letting us talk to the registered Dem or undecided women in the house. I would not fucking believe this if I hadn't just experienced it.

To everyone who Did Something in the election for Harris/Walz and the Democrats: 1. You are fucking fantastic. 2. Win or lose, we fought the good fight, and I say with the experience of campaigns lost (Brexit in particular), you will *never* regret having done so.
