In April 2025, one of Strook's daughters, Shoshana, filed a police complaint in Italy, accusing both of her parents and a brother of sexually abusing her when she was a child. [5] Later, she returned to Israel, and also filed a complaint with Israeli Police.
The investigation by Lahav 433 Anti-Corruption Unit was subject to a gag order, and therefore, Israeli news outlets were prohibited from publishing further details or even mentioning that the charges are against Minister Strook [61 Shoshana Strook alleged that both parents filmed what she called "sexual rituals", exploiting her and offering the videos as child pornography.71](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/bafkreidftt4hdx53earjyv46ckt7u2dp45h25bsarrye54iwyelobdvetu)

![In 2007, Strook's son Zviki Strook was convicted of kidnapping and torturing a Palestinian boy, who was found hours later, naked, handcuffed, unconscious and wounded with severe injuries after the attack in a field. Zviki Strook was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Despite the conviction, Orit Strook defended her son, and in response to the ruling, she stated that, "Unlike the Court, who preferred to believe the Arab witnesses, we are sure of Zvi's innocence, and are hurting from the success of his haters and would assist him to deal with the difficult sentence imposed on him".

Shoshana’s mother, Orit Strook, is the Israeli Minister of Settlements.
(As best I can tell, the family’s last name in English is spelled variously Strock and Strook.)
She has eleven children.
One of her sons was convicted in Israel of kidnapping and torturing a Palestinian boy.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.

31-year-old asylum seeker Daphy Michel was released far from home without her family notified.
Three days after ICE put an ankle monitor on her, she was found unresponsive at a bus station and later died.
Her brother with TPS was waiting to bring her home.
ICE won’t answer basic questions.
Bezos could have just endowed the Post like a public university and turned it loose to do independent journalism like ProPublica. Like Andrew Carnegie did with libraries. And been a hero.
But no, he's too much of a sociopath to recognize that $200 billion is enough.
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

Sad cave by Nina Turner on immigration - she concedes the idea that there might be a case where a mass deportation is justified.
There's no scenario in which mass deportation can EVER be justified. Not even one. Never. Abolish ICE.

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.
A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

Know your history.
Jimmy Carter went on to build more affordable homes than any other president.
John, they were stomped down, kicked out of universities, beaten, jailed, and persecuted and given no help by leaders. Every single week in my little university town there are "free Palestine" protests and marches done by people in black bloc to hide their identities.
Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.

We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back.

Every single part of this is a tragedy
"The European Council on Foreign Relations compared Ellison’s takeover of CBS News to Viktor Orbán’s media consolidation in Hungary, describing the pattern as “a politically aligned buyer, and a regulator that clears the path.” Orbán told US conservatives at CPAC in 2022: “Have your own media.”

I might be wrong, but I believe that the Kennedy Center is Trump's seventh bankruptcy.
A year ago, America had a functioning vaccine system. And then, in the span of just 12 months, nearly all of this system has been disrupted or dismantled.
The scale of these changes will reverberate for years to come. Here's a rundown:
