BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.
It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

There are truly no words for the fact that a group of Trump’s Endangered Species Committee officials has been nicknamed the “God squad” – all because it can remove protections for threatened animals and decide a species’ fate 😤

Speaker Julie Menin's preliminary budget proposal would result in slashing billions of dollars from agency budgets, which would force the City to cut services. Double counting previously identified savings, overestimating revenues, and exaggerating debt service savings does nothing to close a deficit. This $6 billion proposal asks Albany for just one action - class size mandate relief. It refuses to address the deeper structural imbalance between the City and the State, or to increase taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and most profitable corporations. It effectively ensures this structural deficit will continue indefinitely. Any proposal that claims we can close this gap without significant new revenue is unrealistic.
New York City Council just released a budget proposal. Here's what New Yorkers should know:

Feb 3 2025: Musk tweets about putting USAID "into the wood chipper" which led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Later that day Zuckerberg texted Musk to say he would censor content threatening DOGE & "Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help." Actively helping destroy govt agencies.

Delaying the EU Deforestation Regulation = 50M trees lost yearly + 17M tonnes of CO₂ released + risks for our health and nature.
When leaders won’t do the math, public pressure becomes essential.

The new Lancet study on the genocide in Gaza finds that total deaths were 1.71 times higher than reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health as of January 2025.

It is wild that European countries want to join a war that was started illegally by and for a man who is wanted for war crimes and genocide by their *own* institutions.
Two weeks ago, when Texas sued a Dow petrochemical plant over water pollution, state environmental regulators were already considering a novel proposal from the company that would effectively legalize discharges of plastic material from the complex.
Reef-building corals are disappearing faster than scientists can document them and proposed amendments to the Endangered Species Act will only make it worse, international researchers warn.
"From Gaza to Iran, Children Have Always Been Sacrificed by Western Imperial Aims"
A US-Israeli strike on an elementary school in Minab reportedly killed at least 165 – mostly young girls who were only trying to learn, writes Fatima Bhutto for Zeteo:
Notice how the NYTimes subtly downplays the legitimacy of this death toll by attributing it to "Iranian State Media" rather than just citing it as fact. Same thing it did with Gaza's Health Ministry.

A joint statement by Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, and Saudi Arabia condemns Israel’s “repeated violations of the ceasefire in Gaza,” which they say have killed and injured more than 1,000 Palestinians. The ministers warn these violations are a “direct threat to the political process,” sabotage efforts to stabilize Gaza, and obstruct humanitarian relief. They stress Israel must fully comply with the ceasefire and affirm that lasting peace requires “the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood,” grounded in international law and UN resolutions.
See new posts Conversation Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Qatar @MofaQatar_EN Joint Statement by Eight Arab and Islamic countries expressing their strong condemnation of the repeated Israeli violations of the ceasefire in Gaza Doha | February 1, 2026 The Foreign Ministers of the State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Republic of Türkiye, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia strongly condemn Israel’s repeated violations of the ceasefire in Gaza which have resulted in the killing , and injuring of more than a thousand Palestinians. These actions risk escalating tensions and undermining efforts aimed at consolidating calm and restoring stability, at a time when regional and international parties are working collectively to advance the second phase of the President Donald Trump’s peace plan and to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803. The Ministers consider that these repeated violations constitute a direct threat to the political process and hinder ongoing efforts to create appropriate conditions for transitioning to a more stable phase in the Gaza Strip, both in terms of security and humanitarian conditions, and
The Ministers consider that these repeated violations constitute a direct threat to the political process and hinder ongoing efforts to create appropriate conditions for transitioning to a more stable phase in the Gaza Strip, both in terms of security and humanitarian conditions, and stress the necessity of full commitment to ensuring the success of the second phase of President Trump peace plan. They also call on all parties to fully uphold their responsibilities during this critical period and to exercise the utmost restraint, in order to preserve and sustain the ceasefire, refrain from any actions that may undermine the current process, and create favorable conditions to move forward toward early recovery and reconstruction, as well as advancing a just and lasting peace grounded in the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood in accordance with international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the Arab peace initiative. #MOFAQatar
