Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

New research at UC Berkeley found that major California initiatives to improve early-childhood education had a dramatic effect — improving student achievement and narrowing the gap between children from higher-income families and lower-income families.

🇵🇸 Refeef Lubbad, a 17-year-old 11th grader, was shot and killed by Israeli forces Thursday as she walked home from school in the al-Faluja area of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Her name was Refeef Lubbad. She was 17, an 11th-grade student, shot and killed as she returned home from school.
You did not, and will not, see a breaking news alert about her killing. The New York Times and other complicit media outlets will not put her face on their front pages. But here, you will see her face and know her name.
May the day come when those who killed Refeef and our families are brought to justice, and when the names of journalists who justified, condoned, or dismissed their deaths as insignificant are displayed on every street, so their complicity is never forgotten.

An IDF sniper just shot at me and my colleague Ali while we were working in Zowtar Al Gharabieh. We were clearly marked press and standing with a member of the Lebanese army.
One of the many nauseating people Trump has given even more power.....Jared Kushner
Full story here but also read the book: vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.
They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.
Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.
Explosive story many years in the making, now out in Vanity Fair by Matthew Cole (who will be on Breaking Points next week, and publishing soon in @DropSiteNews):
Saudi Arabia and the UAE set up multi-billion slush funds for Jared Kushner to use.
Iran-Contra 2 here (except with Iran-Contra, at least the US got some hostages released. Not clear what we got out of this one.)

🎩 Christiane Amanpour’s departure from CNN after 43 years marks the end of an era. Throughout her career, she set the highest standards of professionalism and journalistic integrity. But her courage over the past three years, particularly in her coverage of Gaza and the Middle East, deserves special recognition.
At a time of immense pressure, she stood by a fundamental principle: journalism is about seeking truth, not hiding behind false equivalences.
“Always be truthful, not neutral.”👏

“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.
Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.
Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.
Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

Virtually every university across North Carolina has lost its early voting site. This is a coordinated assault on youth & minority turnout.

Israeli settlers are out of control, because the Israeli government allows them to be. And while attacks on diplomats or journalists command attention, as they should, this happens unnoticed to Palestinian farmers all the time.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.

I’ve seen NAZA. It is not about Gaza or even about IDF rules of engagement. It is 100% a film about Israeli society. It is about how the most liberal, educated and enlightened socioeconomic elites among us could carry out such mass killing, some even while being well aware of it.
Paints such a bleak picture of this place. Great reporting. nytimes.com/2026/09/28/world…

The depth of Israel's international isolation is difficult to fathom if you're just watching mainstream media.
But these images do not lie. Look at all these delegates leaving the General Assembly in protest as soon as Netanyahu takes the podium... xitter.gq/RimaHas/status/2102652…

🔥 @AymanM: “Question — what is the approved way to support Palestinians? What is an acceptable method? Which protest is quiet enough? Which boycott is gentle enough? Which flag is small enough? Which act of solidarity is ineffective enough to earn your approval?”

Typically, Israel considered it OK to kill 20 civilians in Gaza for one Hamas target — a war crime in violation of the legal requirement to avoid disproportionate civilian harm. trib.al/PYMxZeV
