Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Israel raped 4% & sexually assaulted 30% of Palestinian journalists it kidnapped took hostage.

Trump brought the NVIDIA CEO on his trip to China to lobby Xi Jinping to buy advanced AI chips, even though it would create a U.S. national security threat. It turns out Trump also bought millions in NVIDIA's stock. The President's corruption is a national security disaster.

🧵on 'NYT rift' 1/22 A NYT article on sexual abuse against Palestinians -accurate but barely scratching the surface- is triggering hysteria in the Israeli govt not bcs of the facts, but bcs of the audience. Apartheid Israel fears NYT readers will finally see and no longer ignore.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president of all time.

You really can't make this shit up. Eichorn faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years.

To be clear: they’re not protesting against the sexual torture of Palestinians by Israeli authorities. They’re protesting against the NYT for reporting it.

On the 78th Anniversary of the Nakba – 15 May 2026 Seventy-eight years ago, Britain committed one of the most catastrophic acts of colonial injustice in modern history. With the stroke of a pen, the British government disposed of a land it had no right to give – uprooting an entire people from their homes, their soil, and their heritage to install a project built on displacement, exclusion, and dispossession. The Nakba was no accident of war; it was a deliberate, calculated campaign of erasure. Hundreds of villages were demolished. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children were driven from everything they had ever known. Britain bears a historic and moral responsibility for this foundational crime – a responsibility it has never acknowledged, never atoned for, and never answered. Today, we name it plainly: what Britain inflicted upon the Palestinian people was a crime, and history will not allow it to be forgotten. Yet, the crime did not end in 1948. The world’s governments, institutions, and international bodies chose complicity. For nearly eight decades, the international community has legitimised a regime built on stolen land, suppressed Palestinian resistance at every turn, and shielded Israel from accountability. They looked away – or actively enabled the oppressor – as war crime followed war crime. The occupation deepened. Settlements expanded. The blockade tightened. The apartheid wall grew in length and height. Now, before the eyes of the entire world, Gaza faces a genocide – a systematic campaign to destroy a people. Children are bombed in hospitals and schools. Families are starved by design as a weapon of war. An entire civilisation is being dismantled in real time. The collusion of world powers in this ongoing catastrophe does not merely dishonour them; it makes them active accomplices in every crime committed since the first. And yet, Palestine endures. Through every massacre and siege, through expulsion, imprisonment, and collective punishment, through seventy-eight years of unrelenting assault on their very existence, the Palestinian people have never surrendered – and they never will. Generation after generation has carried the flame: from those who fled with the keys to their homes in 1948, to the children of Gaza who today stand amidst the rubble and declare that they are still here. This is more than resilience; it is one of the most extraordinary acts of collective resistance in human history. The Palestinian people have taught the world what it means to refuse to disappear. They will not be erased. They will not be silenced. And they will not rest until every inch of their land is free and every right is restored – fully, unconditionally, and without compromise. The tide has turned, and the world knows it. The Zionist project, sustained for decades by propaganda, intimidation, and the suppression of truth, is losing its grip on the global conscience. Millions across every continent have taken to the streets. Students have risen on university campuses from London to Los Angeles. Artists, academics, lawyers, and doctors are raising their voices, and international courts have opened investigations. The mask has been torn away, exposing the reality beneath: an apartheid regime, a colonial enterprise, and a system of terror and control that has no place in the modern world. The narrative that once protected Israel from scrutiny is collapsing. The impunity that shielded it from consequence is eroding. The end of the Zionist project as a viable political reality is no longer unthinkable; for the first time, it is inevitable. On this 78th anniversary of the Nakba, the Global Alliance for Palestine makes this unshakeable pledge: we will not rest. We will not be silent. We will not be bought, intimidated, or deterred. We stand in full, unconditional solidarity with every campaign, movement, and act of resistance – legal, moral, cultural, and political – that advances the cause of Palestinian liberation anywhere on earth. We will work without pause until the dream that has sustained an entire people across three generations becomes reality: a free Palestine, from the river to the sea. Full rights, full dignity, and full justice will be restored to every Palestinian – those living under occupation, those displaced in the diaspora, and those who gave their lives so that others might one day be free. palestine-alliance.org/on-the-78th-an… The Nakba is not history; it is an ongoing wound. And we will not stop until it is healed. Global Alliance for Palestine 15 May 2026

Every day we watch Trump commit impeachable crimes, knowing Congress is too weak to act and the DOJ too corrupt to enforce the rule of law.

One of the most troubling things about Trump’s second presidency is that the fraud & corruption has been completely normalized. There’s no call for accountability, let alone criminal investigation.

Large crowds of ultranationalist Jews gathered Thursday at the foot of Jerusalem's Damascus Gate, chanting racist slogans like "Death to Arabs" and "May your villages burn" as they began an annual parade through the Palestinian areas of the Old City. to.pbs.org/4nq2xTm

The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

This is not a photo from Palestinian Nakba 1948. This is a photo from Palestinian after 78 years of Nakba with all the color taken out. A chilling reminder that history repeats... It was never about “self-defense”. It was always about ethnic cleansing.

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin is back. What a relief. Because his voice, his intelligence, his composure and absolutely unique journalistic talent is irreplaceable.

Many refugee families thought they’d have a second chance in the U.S. Then Trump returned to office. newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

Criticizing the Israeli army is not blood libel or antisemitism. Stop weaponizing antisemitism and “blood libel” accusations to silence criticism and accountability. “Soldiers of Israel” is not a Jewish army, Israel is not a Jewish state, and you are not a leader of the Jewish people.

An Israeli comedian joking about raping Palestinian detainees. What do you even say
