As Ceasefire Nears, Jared Kushner’s New Investments Could Boost Israeli Settlements Just before the Israel-Hamas war ceasefire deal, Donald Trump’s son-in-law doubled his stake in an Israeli firm that stands to gain from expanding Israeli settlements.

Immediately before the Gaza ceasefire was announced, Jared Kushner doubled his stake in an Israeli financial firm that stands to gain from expanding Israeli settlements.

Immediately after it was announced, Trump said he would reverse sanctions on Israeli settlers.

Allegheny County Council punts vote on permit fee increase Plans to hike permitting fees for industrial polluters have been put on hold while council support wavers.

I have asthma, and struggle with Pittsburgh's polluted air.

It takes time and trained staff to review and issue permits (and fines) for polluting industries. Allegheny County needs to raise permit fees be able to do this better.

Email county council before their vote 1/28!

Do they make mask extenders or whatever you call those things that keep the loops off your ears that aren't ugly plastic? My migraines make my scalp so sensitive that sometimes it's uncomfortable even to wear my glasses. I've been using hair clips but they keep breaking.

I heard some people act as though it was overly dramatic to do hurriedly download all of the government data that we might need before the new administration takes over.

Not so dramatic after all...

Screenshot from the book The News: A users manual by Alain de Botton that says “A contemporary dictator wishing to establish power would not need to do anything so obviously sinister as banning the news: he or she would only have to see to it that news organizations broadcast a flow of random-sounding bulletins, in great numbers but with little explanation of context, within an agenda that kept changing, without giving any sense of the ongoing relevance of an issue that had seemed pressing only a short while before, the whole interspersed with constant updates about the colourful antics of murderers and film stars. This would be quite enough to undermine most people's capacity to grasp..

End of quote from the book, which says “political reality - as well as any resolve they might otherwise have summoned to alter it. The status quo could confidently remain forever undisturbed by a flood of, rather than a ban on, news”.

I read this quote a decade ago in the book, “The News: a Users Manual” and it stuck with me enough that I went back to find it. In short, it posits that a would-be dictator could suppress the news or flood the zone with a tsunami of nonsense. By either strategy, it kills people’s resolve to act.

This entire thread is Islamophobia, racism, and ableism. Please report it.

Fun fact: there are more than twice as many cis white women in the United States than Black people, Indigenous people, trans people, Muslims, Arab Americans, and Jews COMBINED.

And a majority of cis white women voted for Trump.

If You See Something, Say Nothing A few fundraisers for Palestinians and some resources for refugees and immigrants.

In my last newsletter I put together a collection of information and resources for immigrants, refugees, and undocumented people, including Know Your Rights cards you can keep in your wallet and orgs that will help you access low-cost legal aid.

No reason.

If feds enter a sanctuary city, you have exactly the same protection you would have anywhere else: none

Barbara Sobel (Milo’s Mom) (@barbaraj.sobel) on Threads BREAKING NEWS: 4:33 Federal agents are carrying out raids and arresting people in apartments across Boston, even though it’s a sanctuary city.

I need everyone to know that "sanctuary city" doesn't mean anything in a situation like this. Sanctuary city policies are internal policies that basically say their own agencies won't comply with outside orders. www.threads.net/@barbaraj.so...

My next newsletter (mutualaid.beehiiv.com) is going to feature aid funds and resources exclusively for trans folks, as well as trans-owned shops, goods, and services. Wanna contribute? Wanna be featured? Just have some advice that might help? Drop it below.

In the future I'll do my best to crosspost simultaneously; it seems like it's going to be an utter necessity from hereon out.

Apologies, Blueskees, but the suppression over on the @ app has really cranked up this week, so I'm going to momentarily flood your feeds with some mutual aid/trans/immigration posts just to make sure the information gets where it needs to go. But don't worry, there's a fun one at the end.

If Republicans are OK with the "Roman Salute" that Musk did then please start using it from now. Exactly how he did it. Begin your press conferences this way. Your Youtube shows. Go for it. Do it in Europe when you're traveling.

Never believe that anti- Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.
