This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

.@GovPritzker told our @jmart he'd be "surprised” if Kamala Harris didn’t run for president again. While noting her continued popularity, Pritzker suggested a 2028 bid would be hard to resist, even as Dems historically favor fresh faces after defeat. 🔗 politi.co/3QLeTJL


Just go to Gaza you delicate little boy and find out



This is the dumbest rule I’ve ever witnessed. You missed a kick but it hit the back of the end zone so you get a point to win the game? So dumb.
