US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson has announced an early adjournment of the chamber, stalling efforts to force the release of documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The move delays a politically fraught vote on the matter until September amid growing bipartisan pressure for transparency. It followed a key committee vote to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's longtime associate, to testify before Congress.
Calls to declassify Epstein-related files have intensified recently, including from supporters of President Donald Trump.
He must have gotten an alert telling him his kid was jacking it and had to rush home to watch...Sorry, I meant to say help...wait no, stop, that's it, stop him.
The lower house of the Russian parliament approved legislation imposing fines on people searching online for content that the authorities deem "extremist." Protesters are calling the bill "something out of 1984."
Well I mean if Putin wants you gone he doesn't need a rule to permit it, but his sort of law is about pushing that oppressive power down to lower levels of the chain. You dont need to catch the attention of anyone important, you can be oppressed by an anonymous low level clerk on a power trip.
Russia's Ministry of Justice's list of extremist materials spans more than 500 pages and contains over 5,000 entries. These include songs that praise Ukraine and blog posts by the feminist rock band Pussy Riot.
On June 4, during a meeting with government officials, Vladimir Putin stated that all public services must be moved to the national messenger app called Max
Every time I think Donald Trump is putting some distance between himself and the Epstein scandal he does some new thing to make it the centerpoint story in the…
I'd say that's what they get for electing a pedophile, but I'm honestly not sure it's possible for the Republican party to pick somebody that isn't a pedophile.
I feel like he's the kind of fuckin weirdo that would defile the couch right and sound... then plastic wrap it to seal in him... cause those fuckers redefine weird.
Shit, I’ll take it. This is one they’re not even wrong to be mad about. Would have been great if this happened sometime between 2016 and 2024 but whatever, momentum is momentum.
Side note, how have the complete files not been leaked by now? This administration is one of the leakier ones, and anyone who sees any of this information has got to know how many people want it to see the light of day
I would normally agree with you, but giving a ton of FBI employees access to review the files for mentions of Trump doesn't exactly sound like a great way to prevent leaks.
Not to both sides the systematic rape of children but... both sides have major figures who rape children. So a career bureaucrat who gets caught leaking this (and they would) would have poor odds of a pardon and/or promotion by future politicians.
The country falling apart, people getting kidnapped by masked police, unidentified government officers arresting people, ignoring citizens in natural disasters, government breaking down ..... all those things didn't cause alarm bells?
Now they're accusing one another of sex crimes again and government is grinding to a halt?
The US is turning into the most expensive laughing stock in the world!
Because his base isn't upset about those as much as they are about Epstein. He's underwater in polling on all those other things now, but his core base wasn't upset about it
Right wing media talked about Epstein a lot over the past many years. Claimed that Trump would give them all the truth. It became an ingrained belief. Then he abruptly and very suddenly contradicted all that at once and can't keep to a consistent narrative
He also directly insult his base in the back and forth. Calling them "weaklings", stupid, etc. for caring which he normally avoids doing. Normally he pretends to care about their concerns when coming up with a BS excuse
The Qanon crowd largely thought Trump was going to expose a vast network of pedophiles in government and in power. They didn't really get that he was part of the pedophile ring.

That is not "falling apart" in the minds of Republicans, that is "working as designed".
He died in prison, allegedly by his own hand. With a broken video camera system where the guards turned away a repairman, and where the surviving video was edited and has a ~3 minute gap.
Epstein! Epstein! Epstein! These people are obsessed by the fact that the President is a pedophile who rapes children. Can’t we get back to the business of kidnapping and murdering innocent people?
I bet everyone is looking to Miller for talking points and he just tells Don to go on Fox and say, “hey, I fuck kids. Lots of them. But only white kids.”
Give the people what they want. I smell blood in the water. Then, what happens? You guessed it, more blood in the water and repeat ad infinitum. They will eat themselves. The destruction of their own doing is imminent. However, that doesn’t provide much in the way of having solid counter platform. Dems need Mojo. And I umm, kinda done with that no progress party. Corporate shills nonetheless. They aren’t as hateful and have done a great job marketing a super kind & humanitarian & empathic way of being. Well, I say bullshit. Not that those aren’t wonderful ideals to hold close on a personal level. I am offended by the fact that these were illusionary terms meant to simply grab a vote. In no way was there to be an honest follow through with that.
For sure. It is clear that none in the Republican top likes each other, and they all loathe Trump and hate having to kiss his ass all the time. But they can't make a move as long as he has the Republican voterbase in his pocket.
For a short while it did seriously look like it caused a dent between Trump and his voters, but now it seems like they have already moved on, when they found out that the Epstein case didn't so much implicate Democrats as it did Trump.
I know people think the bad shit ends with the One Big Beautiful Obituary. But JD's handlers are competent people. And he's such a jellyfish that he might as well be an actual sock puppet.
The bad shit doesn't end, but it does get upended. They've built the whole thing up around Trump. He will not be easy to replace while maintaining the support of the cultists. Vance doesn't even remotely have what it takes to be a cult leader. The question is, will the cultists' support be needed at that point?
Vance would definitely be a step up in competence, if for no other reason than he would probably start replacing people, since the current line-up only had loyalty to HitlerPig. But he is still evil, and shouldn't be in the Oval Office.
And MAGA will end with HitlerPig's death. It is a cult of personality, and he has deliberately structured it that way. There is no succession. When he dies, a dozen people will claim to be his hand-picked successor, starting with Jr. None of them will be accepted by the MAGA followers, and their influence will wane quickly.
When that happens, it will be easy to roll up the criminals who ran wild under HitlerPig. They won't benefit by his immunity or pardons, and they'll have to answer for their evil deeds. That is, if the Dems actually do their job, and round up those traitors and prosecute them.
I wish I had faith in the Dems playing their part, in this scenario. My bet is that they will try to maintain the status quo, even as everyone yells at them to act...... I used to think that they were being "honorable" but now I think it's cowardice and corruption. Most Dems are weak little people barely a step better than their GOP counterparts, and those that aren't are downvoted by those that are. They are far too invested in "I got mine"! This current crop of Dems are AFRAID of the GOP, probably because they have their own corruption to hide, and are afraid of retaliation.
Count on it. Peter Theil holds Vance's leash, and he will definitely want to put his Blood Boy in the chair. The question is: Will the other Sociopathic Oligarchs be comfortable with a different Sociopathic Oligarch getting all the power instead of them? HitlerPig is easy to deal with because he can be easily bought. Vance may not be so easily manipulated, since he has to follow Theil's orders.
Did not read the article but of course they did. Fear not our government will do nothing to remedy the situation, wouldn't want to upset those in real power.
“How’s Imelda?” Trump asked the Philippine leader when they first spoke in November, according to an official familiar with the call, sending his regards to the onetime first lady of the Philippines and a fellow cultural figurehead of the 1980s and 90s.
Trump has long placed a premium on family ties and genetics as a measure of people’s value, including for foreign leaders and members of his staff. He appeared to be impressed in the lead-up to Tuesday’s meeting with Marcos Jr.’s connections to an infamous period in Philippine history, according to a person familiar with the matter.
“A great family, great family legacy and highly respected in this country. I know that because I have many friends in the Philippines,” Trump said as Tuesday’s meeting was getting underway.

“How’s Imelda?” Trump asked the Philippine leader when they first spoke in November, according to an official familiar with the call, sending his regards to the onetime first lady of the Philippines and a fellow cultural figurehead of the 1980s and 90s.

“A great family, great family legacy and highly respected in this country. I know that because I have many friends in the Philippines,” Trump said as Tuesday’s meeting was getting underway.
Trump and Imelda Marcos first crossed paths decades ago as members of the international jet set — he as a New York businessman and she as the wife of strongman leader Ferdinand Marcos, famous for her extravagant taste financed by public funds and amassing a massive collection of shoes while her husband imposed martial law.
The two attended parties together in New York, including during the period when Imelda Marcos and her husband were forced into exile in Hawaii after being unseated by a popular uprising. They fled the country with crates of gold and pesos.
EDIT: For the non-Filipinos reading this, Marcos family is the most hated family in the Philippines. So much so that when the late Ferdinand died, he was in Hawaii, exiled. The government refused to let his body be returned for four years. After that they didn’t let his body be buried until 2016. People protested his burial. To think anyone would believe the Marcos family is respected, indeed qualifies a a symptom of being crazy.
EDIT 2: I once had to explain why Confederate statues represented an offensive part of U.S. history to my immigrant grandmother by comparing them to a hypothetical status of Marcos being erected in her hometown.
Habba is President Trump’s second US attorney nominee to struggle to receive support from the district court or the Senate Judiciary Committee. In May, the Senate Judiciary Committee decided not to confirm Trump’s controversial pick to lead the DC US attorney’s office, Ed Martin.
It is rare to have multiple candidates fail to receive support from the district court or the Senate Judiciary Committee
Police in Tokyo say they have found that English proficiency test examinees involved in suspected group cheating had been given miniature earphones and other devices prior to the test.
They suspect that there may be other collaborators in Japan in addition to a Chinese national arrested in relation to cheating on the Test of English for International Communication, or TOEIC. ……
They say they have learned that the examinees in question had been given earphones measuring 3 millimeters across, a pendant-type repeater and a video guide in advance. ……
Those are very tiny earphones (you can see one in the video around 0:45). I wonder if there are any electronics inside or if they are just tiny magnet balls driven by the pedant repeaters.

Bandwagon is a fediverse platform for artists to share their music, similar to platforms like Bandcamp. Artists can now use Bandwagon to sell their music albums with the latest update. Bandwagon has added support for Stripe, and does not charge a payment fee for albums sold via the platform. Selling albums via Bandwagon will not be completely free however: once Bandwagon Premier launches at the end of the year, selling albums will only be available for this premium subscription tier of $10/month. Bandwagon promises the platform will always be available for free for artists to upload and share their albums. Another new feature for Bandwagon is Circles, which allows users to share content with specific people. When you add accounts to a circle, you can create content that will only be visible to people within that circle, similar to how Bonfire’s boundaries system works. What is different about Bandwagon’s circles is that access to a circle can be put behind a paywall, where people can pay a monthly subscription fee for continued inclusion in that circle and to see exclusive content by the artist.
The upcoming premium subscription will give paying members the ability to sell albums, sell access to circles/memberships, and get higher quality streaming. Some further thoughts:
With circles, Bandwagon is placing itself in competition with Patreon. It is not the first project to try to put fediverse content behind a paywall: sub.club tried to make this work last year and had to shut down due to a limited uptake. Sub.club focused on microblogging and Mastodon, will targeting the music sector make a difference for Bandwagon?
Platforms on the fediverse has historically struggled with becoming financially sustainable, with most relying on donations, grants and volunteer labour. Bandwagon has a clear story on how it plans to become a financially sustainable platform. The big question is: can they pull it off?
One of the major challenges in building a new social network is in getting critical mass on the community size to made sure there is enough interesting content to keep users interested in visiting. Projects like Radio Free Fedi show that the fediverse has a dedicated community of musicians and other artists on the fediverse. Bandwagon also already has over 200 artists who are sharing their music on the platform. It indicates that music and artists might be a worthwhile direction to look for when building critical mass in communities.
How much will the connection to the fediverse matter for artists on Bandwagon? Bandwagon is open-source and encourages self-hosting, and that it uses ActivityPub provides clear value for creating a network of interoperable Bandwagon servers. But will people use the native connections with the rest of the fediverse as well? For artists, having a wider reach is beneficial, especially if they are selling albums. But will people use the interoperability of microblogging platforms like Mastodon to follow artists on Bandcamp, or will these interoperable networks stay mostly separate in practice?
Bonfire is an upcoming modular social networking platofrm that the team is working on getting ready for an official release. In the launch version (‘Bonfire Social’) the platform focuses on features that are more familiar to microblogging and long-form writing, but the platform is highly extendable and customisable: Bonfire is also experimenting with adding geodata and Mosaic, a bridge to connect other datasets to the platform. Bonfire also reported that they have their first organisation that will build their community on Bonfire: CrowdInBlue is a platform that wants to “connect water projects with funding sources”, and they will build this platform using Bonfire.

“The upside is that moderation gives me some control. Watching a fascist autocracy unfold before your eyes is terrifying. Everything is collapsing on a massive scale in myriad ways. It’s enough to make a person feel helpless. While it’s not monumental, I do get to curb some of that fascism through moderation. I get to push buttons with labels that read “delete post” and “suspend.” When some ignorant sociopath is harassing people, I get to wave a magic wand and make them disappear. At least from our corner of Mastodon. That’s empowering. And meaningful. It does make a difference because I get to silence them. I can’t begin to describe how good that feels. Just a little tiny bit of justice.”
An excellent writeup of what it’s like to be a moderator for Mastodon. It explains what the day-to-day experience of being a moderator on Mastodon is like, and what some of the main challenges are, such as dealing with targeted harassment and getting exposed to traumatic content. The quote above highlights why people put up with these challenges, and indicates the value of a social network that gives people agency.
“I don’t know how to run a community forum in this future. I do not have the time or emotional energy to screen out regular attacks by Large Language Models, with the knowledge that making the wrong decision costs a real human being their connection to a niche community. I do not know how to determine whether someone’s post about their new bicycle is genuine enthusiasm or automated astroturf. I don’t know how to foster trust and genuine interaction in a world of widespread text and image synthesis—in a world where, as one friend related this week, newbies can ask an LLM for advice on exploring their kinks, and the machine tells them to try solo breath play. In this world I think woof.group, and many forums like it, will collapse.“
A worrying account of how LLMs make the current systems of keeping spam out of closed social networks unfeasible. There are communities who need some form of anonymity of their members to function, such as the queer kink community woof.group. These communities ask for some form of applications by new members. The ability of LLMs to cheaply generate bullshit on a grand scale is being used spammers to join these private communities and use it for spam. There is a clear need for new ways to build and maintain communities while keeping spammers out, and it is currently unclear how such a system would look like.
“My goals now are more modest: planting seeds in people’s minds that another way to interact online is possible. And when people ARE READY and willing, help them set up an account on the Fediverse software best suited for their needs, helping them out and acclimatizing them to the culture of this place.“
Elena Rossini writes about how her thoughts on the fediverse and growth have shifted, and her plans for the next year of her blog. It echoes a trend I wrote recently about as well: the previous conceptualisation of growth for the new social networks does not hold up anymore, and we need new stories on how these networks can be used to build new communication structures.
Kim caught up with Andy, Mastodon's new comms lead, for a chat about the Fediverse's poster child. Find out more about the future of the project, how they feel about Bluesky, and how you can get involved.
Yeah... I'm not sure that's a good monetization model... I feel like even the standard taking a small cut of every transaction is a better idea than that :/
It feels really overly punishing for small artists while being very reasonable for established larger artists, which sucks
The Trump administration faces criticism for withholding investigative files about serial sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell.
"I witnessed Epstein offer girls to Trump and Trump heroically stood up, punched Epstein and said 'I will save those girls from you just you see!' then he flew out the window with his cape flapping in the wind. Epstein was visibly shaken, he kept repeating 'Bill Clinton took them every time I offered them. Obama took them. Hillary Clinton took them. Kamala Harris took them. Why won't Lord God Savior Trump take the girls I offer him!?' He then printed out this list of all Democrats who took girls from him."
The thing is the maga people want my cartoon to be true so when it happens the Republicans can say "see, this is testimony from someone as close as you can get to Epstein. There is no need to release any documents we have that could potentially hurt victims and their families. She gave us a list of Democrats, so we're going after them don't you worry."
This is exactly what the base wanted. They just want to see Democrats go to jail, they aren't interested if it's a Republican, or another billionaire, they want to see their political "enemies" executed or sent to prison.
Nearly half of Chin State’s population has been displaced since the military coup, according to a new report by the Institute of Chin Affairs (ICA), released on 16 July.
A fan of President Donald Trump told C-SPAN that she wasn't concerned about the release of files on Jeffrey Epstein because it was "human nature" to molest children.
"Because, you know, it's human nature, even when children are used," she added.
Wtf?
"I was abused when I was three years old for the first time. So, I know what it is to have to deal with that all your life. I'm 74 now."
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
"What I really hate are the lies of getting rid of Medicaid, getting rid of Social Security, or whatever they say. The Democrats keep putting that out, but it's not."
Ok, I'm 100% sure this is one of Donnie boy's staffers. And if it's not, this is just sad and pathetic.
Not surprising. This person has probably never been wrong their whole life and probably has never admitted mistakes to her children. Typical MAGA bullshitter. Let her die with Trump's dick in her mouth.
What a fucking insane take. Also, their concern about immigration is wacky as fuck too. 'The ones I know are great but we can't let them in because we don't know them'. What does that even mean?
Also, what are you worried about illegal immigrants doing? If you can excuse raping kids, what line could you be afraid of them crossing? Or do you just need to be a white American to rape kids, otherwise its a bad thing?
The logic is honest to god fascinating. The example people give for who deserves the death penalty is usually a child predator. If you can include that in the 'just human nature' category, what are humans capable of that would be outside of their nature?
“I was abused when I was three years old for the first time. So, I know what it is to have to deal with that all your life. I’m 74 now.”
That's actually really sad that they've internalized their trauma as something normal. This is why counseling should be mandatory for kids and child molesters should be flayed.
So many shitty people want their and/or other kids to suffer because they did and “turned out fine,” not realizing that the literal mindset of wanting suffering on someone means they did not in fact, turn out fine.
I think we're about to find out the percentage of pedophiles in society is much higher than any of us would have expected it to be, and probably correlates with wealth for some reason.
I’m actually not shocked at all. There are a lot of people who want to do bad things. There are just more people who say “I’m not going to do that, even though I want to.”
Take killing people. That’s the number one bad thing. I’d love to kill some specific people in this world—but I won’t. Just swap that out with almost anything and there will be a large group of people for it.
Now, what happens if a tons of people go around murdering other people. Would I maybe soften up to the idea? What if some laws are loosened, and there’s some wiggle room…
That’s kinda where child molestation is. Groups of people protect each other. People marry kids to wiggle around those laws. I don’t think that we are seeing is anything new. It’s just the internet makes it easier to expose people and get large support. It also works like that for “them” too.

The caller also expressed concern about undocumented immigrants.
"When you let millions of undocumented people who we don't even know who are living next to us," she opined. "I have about seven neighbors in a one-block neighborhood that are here illegally. I love them. The ones that are in my neighborhood are great."
It’s not that I thought she’d be a paragon of logic based on the rest of the story, but it’s like she only has the first half of each thought.
Yes, that is what I came to fucking talk about. I’m shocked you’re the only one. How fucking deluded. And people hear “74” and think flighty and only partially lucid, I think. But that is not that old. This is a fully conscious, thinking, feeling person and she has the most brainwashed thinking ever. Literally bartered woman syndrome it seems. Just so completely gaslit that it’s delusional.
I really don't like where all this is going. And I'm surprised I didn't see it until now.
They're trying to bring back owning human property in all forms. The Heritage Foundation probably doesn't give two shits about the legality of raping anyone, they just want the wealthy to be able to do whatever they please with their property. If that property is children, they purchased it, it's theirs.
This is like a wild and scary crazy form of slavery. It's not enough that people don't have rights, it's that the elite believe they can own *anything they want, including people."
That's what the heritage foundation is about. Property. What the actual fuck.
So to some extent it probably is human nature. I mean way back men had to compete for women. And they probably had to fight the women too. So younger and weaker were prefered. Plus, get them early before another man does. But the important fact is that human nature is not automatically a good thing. People like to say it is, but it isn't. It is the reason we have billionaires. It is the reason some people can justify letting children die of starvation. I could go on. Human nature got us where we are. But now that we are here, we need to fight against human nature and work for the good of ALL of us, not just whatever group we are part of today.
There's a small class of people who civilization has put in absolute power based on how effectively greedy and sociopathic they are. Did you expect such people to be ethical and moral and decent with their exploited hoards as they sit above those that would regulate, judge, and police them? Then greed, sociopathy, and willingness to exploit their brothers and sisters to death for an extra nickel shouldn't have been made the metrics for societal power that they have. It's wealthy people who think rules and laws are for their little peasant capital batteries.
The wealthy elite have always been largely pedophilic. Didn't start and certainly didn't stop with Epstein as just one of their facilitators.
Don't like it? At least be against and vote against capitalism and rampant economic inequity. Otherwise 78 choices of cereal are more important to you than children not being raped by rich people just because they can.
They're bored, have infinite resources, and by the nature of their insatiable greed and sociopathic treatment of those they exploit feel the need

They're bored, have infinite resources, and by the nature of their insatiable greed and sociopathic treatment of those they exploit feel the need to test their limits and taste that which most consider forbidden. That makes it more desirable to them, not less.
Society should check, temper, and commit such people for everyone's safety, instead they own the government, and freely fuck kids and teens when they aren't being literally infused with their young blood to try to live longer. Enjoy their "free market." Hey, at least we aren't socialists amirite?
No, no it's not. I work with children. I've never once had the urge to molest any child. I'm not even comfortable flirting with someone 10 years younger than me, who would be in their late 20s.
So no, normal, healthy and responsible human beings do not ever have anything remotely close to sexual desires towards children.
Molesting kids is only one of the several egregious violations he committed. How did the kids get to the island? Trafficking. Why didn't they leave? Kidnapping/wrongful imprisonment. Were they afraid to leave or speak up? Intimidation/menacing. Did this setup require knowing cooperation between multiple parties? Conspiracy.
So even if you're a sick pedo nutter, but otherwise understand legal vs illegal, Dump is still looking at many more felonies on top of the ones he's already accumulated.
Now if only Taco would tell these people to be "truly" "maga", they need to cut off their yarbles, put on some black Nikes, and drink a special cocktail. I bet you anything a sizeable portion of his cult would do so.
It's human nature to want to molest kids? So, what, not wanting to molest kids is weird? Am I now more abnormal? I have never had the desire to molest a kid. Heck, I don't want to even be around one. Is that weird?
Someone needs to make a how it started/how it's going meme with them getting the vapors over Biden supposedly smelling some kids' hair, flash forward to now, where they are trying to bury this story and saying it's human nature if the GOP rape kids.
I'm so confused because I thought the rabid irrational hatred towards LGBT people was under the belief that they were a threat to kids. When did republicans pivot to thinking hurting kids was normal?
Like with everything, it's projection. They know that they'd love to molest kids and assault women in bathrooms if they were ever allowed, so they just project that onto others.
Not if you are a state actor in charge of a well financed honeypot scheme collecting blackmail evidence used to control the business and political elite of western nations.
Then you do everything you can to keep the list of those you've compromised a secret. Even if you have to sacrifice a powerful (but stupid) piece.
No! You do not allow the rape of children just so you can control the sick fuck who did it. Instead you brutally and publicly execute anyone who even suggests there might be benefits to letting children get rapped!
If my anyone in my family/friends group/anyone said this. Id immediately report that to the authorities and take further action to protect my kids and yell this at the highest hill.
I am sure I am not alone on this. It's concerning when you say, "I have never molested/raped/assaulted anyone," and that's controversial.
"What I really hate are the lies of getting rid of Medicaid, getting rid of Social Security, or whatever they say. The Democrats keep putting that out, but it's not."
"I hate all these lies, that I can easily confirm are true, but I prefer to live in a bubble where I'm fed what I want to believe. Plus I'm too lazy to learn anything.
I'll be completely shocked when the reality hits and it will still somehow be the fault of the dems and libs and those evil socialist Leftists who want to provide housing, education, and child care because they are literal MONSTERS.
And theres a non-zero chance that the one person is probably one of the propaganda mouthpieces/sources that tries to give the masses their marching orders... Which the masses are ignoring, for the first time in their lives, in relation to Epstein.
Seriously, look at how they talk, it screams paid shill trying to stick to their orders. " no no, (thing that negatively affects us) isnt bad, its totally normal behavior! What a real problem is, is (obvious party narrative meant to distract), thats the real concern/crime/issue!"

A House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee voted Tuesday to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex offender and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, as the Republicans on Capitol Hill push for the publication of more information related to Epstein’s case.
In completely unrelated news Epstein's defense attorney died today. He was old and sick and knew too much. Tragic but damn could he pick a good time to die. Super Kami Guru would be proud.
Since May, more than 1,000 people have died while seeking food from the centres and other humanitarian convoys, according to the UN.
Mahmoud Alareer, a 27-year-old living in a tent in western Gaza City, says the opening time announcements for the aid site he uses – Wadi Gaza – have become useless, because of the distance from where he is living. Instead, he travels to the edges of the site in the middle of the night and gambles on it opening at 2am, as it has on every visit so far.
First he climbs on to the back of a truck for the long ride south from Gaza City through the militarised Netzarim corridor. Then he waits in the dark until Israeli forces allow him to enter. “You get there and you slowly, slowly advance,” he says. “You always know that it could be you who gets shot, or it might be someone next to you.”
Alareer says chaos always ensues when the aid point opens, as people start running towards the packages, which are left in the middle of the distribution zone. People trip over craters and tangled wires.

Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) emergency coordinator in Gaza, Aitor Zabalgogeazkoa, says night-time distributions are particularly dangerous because so many roads in southern Gaza have been made unrecognisable by Israeli bombing, making it hard for Palestinians to stick to routes designated by GHF.
Zabalgogeazkoa is scathing about the GHF system. “This is not humanitarian aid,” he says. “We can only think that it was designed to cause damage to the people seeking aid.”
Hundreds of people have died while seeking food since delivery was taken over by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in May. But Palestinians facing extreme hunger have no choice but to take the risk
The Republican speaker truncated the schedule for the week and said he would send lawmakers home on Wednesday to deny Democrats the chance to force votes on whether to release the Epstein material.
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Hundreds of students protested Tuesday near the site of the crash of a Bangladesh air force training jet into a school in the nation’s capital, demanding accountability, compensation for victims’ families and the halt of training flights.
The ongoing unrest over Monday’s crash shut down traffic in parts of Dhaka, a city still recovering from last year’s student uprising that ousted the prime minister as the interim government seeks to restore order and organize elections next year. Some students entered the country’s administrative headquarters and were dispersed with tear gas and stun grenades.
The death toll from the crash rose to 31, including at least 25 students, a teacher who died from burns she sustained while helping others escape the two-story building, and the pilot on his first solo flight. Officials said 171 people, mostly students at Milestone School and College and many with burns, were rescued.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Police in Jamaica say they have filled five men suspected of plotting to kill someone as the department on the Caribbean island comes under fire for a surge in fatal shootings.
Authorities said in a statement late Monday that police were investigating an alleged murder plot that led officers to the location where the men were shot. The shootings occurred Monday afternoon in St. Andrew parish, where the capital, Kingston, is located.
“Officers came under heavy gunfire and responded to the threat to their lives,” police said.
Authorities noted that no officers were injured, and that they were looking for a sixth man nicknamed “Bloodstain” who escaped.
Police said that they reported the killings to Jamaica’s Independent Commission of Investigations, a government agency created in 2010 to investigate complaints against Jamaica’s police, military and corrections officers.
