🚨 HORRIFIC: A newly released image from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, taken by an Israeli soldier, captures a sunset he was contemplating after his unit had finished “clearing” the area.

There are no landmarks left. No homes. No neighborhoods. Entire residential blocks have been wiped out the area erased completely.

Report: "They Executed Him For Wielding A Camera"

"We have a nice little database & now you’re considered a domestic terrorist" ~federal agent

Alex Pretti was executed in Minneapolis by U.S. Border Patrol agents while exercising his First Amendment right to film their actions.

As with Renee Good, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem maliciously lied about Pretti after his murder.

Ocean waters are aging? What?
Yes: we oceanographers call 'age' the time since deep ocean water was last in touch with the atmosphere. It is a measure of 'ventilation', deep vertical overturning of the ocean.
Data show this process is slowing: #AMOC slowdown.
That is bad news for climate, and there is a serious risk of the AMOC crossing a tipping point in the next few decades towards an unstoppable shutdown. One of the worst-case climate change nightmares.

Israeli occupation forces continue their demolition campaign targeting Palestinian commercial stores and many other businesses in Qalandia refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem, citing the flimsy pretext of construction without Israeli permits.

Analysis: "Imperial Boomerang"

The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including of Alex Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province - terrorized by US execution squads for decades....

The UK government officially admitted that it threatened ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan in an attempt to dissuade him from continuing investigations into crimes perpetrated by Israel in the Gaza Strip.

The admission came following a request from a research unit at the University of Westminster, months after the British Foreign Office had denied commenting on the matter.

Documents revealed that former British Foreign Secretary David Cameron was the only person to make the call to the prosecutor on April 23, 2024, threatening to withdraw UK funding from the court if it continued investigations targeting senior Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in Gaza.

This acknowledgment comes after Middle East Eye revealed the call in June 2024, yet the British Foreign Office did not officially confirm its authenticity until January 2026.

Satellite imagery shows the IDF forcing Gazans into an ever-shrinking area.

Israeli forces are moving the yellow line toward the coast in order to shrink the Gazan-controlled coastal area.

The repositioning is a violation of the Oct 10 2025 ceasefire deal.

A horrifying story came out today of a young adult who attended an ICE protest in Santa Ana four days ago and lost an eye to ICE.

ICE agents shot him at point blank range in the face with a 40mm launcher.

Notice the NYT's framing here: a near "disaster" means that the aggressors almost didn't succeed in their invasion. (That they did end up succeeding was of course a disaster for the 80 people they killed.)

Let's ask the real question:

Firefox users,

do you want any AI directly built into Firefox, or separated out into extensions?

@firefoxwebdevs
@davidgerard
@tante

@firefoxwebdevs Where's the option for "I do not want this bullshit toy anywhere near my browser"? Is someone forcing you at gunpoint to be pro-slop? Why are all the executives so into this crap? Can't we just let them have their cocaine daydreams without subject the rest of us to it?
