The anti-Muslim attacks against Mamdani are part of a worrying trend. New research shows in the last three years, Islamophobia has sharply risen in the United States, across almost every demographic.

More than 300 writers, scholars, and public figures, including nearly 150 past New York Times contributors, have pledged to boycott the paper’s Opinion section under the banner “Genocide Is Not a Matter of Opinion.”

They are demanding that the Times conduct an independent review of anti-Palestinian bias and publish new editorial standards, retract its discredited “Screams Without Words” article, and that its Editorial Board call for a U.S. arms embargo on Israel.

Signatories include Rashida Tlaib, Sally Rooney, Rupi Kaur, Gabor Maté, Mohammed El-Kurd, Greta Thunberg — and Drop Site’s Alex Colston and Sharif Abdel Kouddous — among others.

Why is Mamdani constantly asked about Israel and Palestine, but no other candidate who parrots Israel's talking points is ever asked if they condemn a genocide, occupation, and apartheid?

We joined 3,700+ nonprofits who've signed a powerful letter condemning the Trump administration’s illegal attacks on civil society. We will not be intimidated or silenced.

Starvation in Gaza and Our Global Shame Binaifer Nowrojee sees ample evidence that the country is committing the most serious of crimes in Gaza.

“Palestinians are being intentionally starved to death. Although signs of the coming horrors were clear within months of the war’s onset, many governments averted their eyes. Now, they are failing in their duty to prevent and stop a genocide.”

Wow: 1/4 of US senators now oppose more American weapons to Israel.

Context: until 9 months ago Congress had *never* voted on blocking weapons to Israel.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Earth is likely to cross a key climate threshold in two years A new World Meteorological Organization report spells the end of the world’s most famous climate goal.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’ The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

State Department Plans to Launch ‘Office of Remigration.’

The idea of “remigration” has a troubling history; it originally comes from far-right, neo-Nazi circles in Europe and is typically used to advocate for the forced removal of migrants. www.thehandbasket.co/p/state-depa...

‘Zohran Mamdani represents the future New York’: socialist riding high in bid to be mayor The progressive democrat from Queens is the son of a famous film-maker and poised to take on front-runner Andrew Cuomo Can a 33-year-old cricket-playing socialist, who wants to freeze rent, make city transport free and once aspired to be a rapper win an already turbulent election to become the next mayor of New York? Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assembly ­member in Queens, has been the surprise package in the Democratic primary and is now poised to take on the frontrunner in the race, ex-state governor Andrew Cuomo, who is mounting a political comeback after being forced from office in the face of a series of sexual harassment claims.

Defense acquisition needs an overhaul, but this is another play by Trump to profit off of picking who wins and loses federal largesse, this time for big military bucks.

The MAGA ideology is a fascist fantasy to hype up rubes—his real game has always been the grift.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

1) Do something autocratic
2) Wait to see how people react
3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on
4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it
5) Illegally consolidate more power
6) Repeat

BREAKING: The Trump administration will begin screening immigrants’ social media for “antisemitism.”

This will NOT fight antisemitism.

This is simply using Jews as an excuse to move a cruel, anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda.

We refuse to be used this way.
