Before marching into Gaza, an Israeli settler from New York explained to me that that she wants to live on the beach in Gaza after the Palestinians are cleaned out. "We have lists already of about 500 families that are willing, on the drop of a hat to move to Gaza...People are going to start building towns. We have the names of towns. It's already being planned." Full documentary report from within the ranks of Jewish Israeli nationalists who're proudly blocking humanitarian aid and invading Gaza: youtube.com/watch?v=LqRzfb…

The U.S. is on course to end 2023 with one of the largest annual drops in homicides on record. The findings appear to be at odds with Americans' perception of crime both in their communities and in the rest of the country. trib.al/cVg0ABQ

This is what you might call “fake cause” propaganda. CBS has no evidence that X caused Y but it benefits rich people to link them, so it uses “ahead of” to print a suggestion that if stated clearly would be a lie. This company clears over $1 billion in *profit* yearly.

Issam was the sweetest colleague. He let me take a kitten I was nursing on assignment once, and made it a bed in his helmet. But he always reminded me, whenever I got careless: “Our goal is to cover the news, not become it”. I am so sorry this happened to you my dear Issam. RIP.

Ten police officers cost NYC taxpayers $68 million in misconduct lawsuits, & didn’t pay a penny. They’re all still on the force, w/ salaries, benefits, overtime, & more paid for by those same NYC taxpayers. Free to keep violating NYers. Make it make sense. gothamist.com/news/over-a-de…

I'm 38 years old and I think this is the first time in my internet-using life that there's just, like, nothing fun to do online anymore. I open a web browser and just sit there with nowhere to go.
