UK counter terror police detained and interrogated my colleague, Kit Klarenberg, seizing his devices, and grilling him about his investigative journalism. PM Keir Starmer’s Labour Together slush fund even hired a private intel firm to smear Kit and The Grayzone.

The list of journalists and activists repressed by the British regime goes on and on. And they have one thing in common: outspoken opposition to Israel’s genocidal agenda.
Who’s actually in charge in London?
A section of the report shared with The Intercept includes the detailed testimonies of multiple released Palestinian prisoners. A 42-year-old woman arrested in Gaza while going through an Israeli military checkpoint in November 2024, for example, described being stripped, blindfolded, and handcuffed to a metal table and raped vaginally and anally by Israeli soldiers.
Crushed testicles, genital beatings, rapes of detainees including children and the elderly — the report, like a number of the previous human rights reports it draws from, shows that such abuse is, according to the authors, “institutional practice rather than individual misconduct.”
Sexual violence by Israeli forces against Palestinians in detention is both a systematic and a decades-old practice — a well understood dynamic that is being put in the spotlight this week in a new report exclusively provided to The Intercept from the Palestinian Feminist Collective, a group of Palestinian and Arab feminist researchers and organizers.
White supremacy sounds like complaining about the low birth rate in America then trying to end birthright citizenship and even moving to block visas of pregnant women trying to enter the United States.
“Low birth rate” means “low white birth rate.”
Additional details:
🔹The U.S. has already received Oman’s proposal. According to officials, American negotiators are reviewing it and expect to discuss their concerns with Omani counterparts, rather than rejecting it outright.
🔹There is a dispute over whether the payments would be voluntary. Oman’s proposal reportedly describes them as voluntary service fees, while Iranian officials insist they would be mandatory.
🔹The current U.S.-Iran framework agreement only guarantees free passage for 60 days. After that period, the agreement calls for Iran and Oman to negotiate a longer-term arrangement for the strait.
🔹Iran is threatening to act without Oman. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Iran’s preference is a joint framework with Oman, but if one cannot be reached, Tehran will proceed on its own.
🔹The International Maritime Organization is open to the concept. Its secretary general said a voluntary fund modeled on the Malacca Strait could be feasible, provided it complies with international law.
🔹Saudi Arabia opposes changing the status quo. Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said the Strait of Hormuz should return to the prewar arrangement and questioned why the region should accept a new system created by the conflict.
⭕️ The New York Times: Iran and Oman are moving forward with a proposal to collect fees from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, despite U.S. objections, citing Iranian and diplomatic officials.
The Times reports:
🔹Oman has reportedly proposed a system modeled on the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, where shipping companies “voluntarily” contribute to navigation and safety services.
🔹Iranian officials, however, say the payments would be mandatory.
🔹The White House and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said Washington opposes monetizing passage through the strait “whether it is called a fee, toll, or donation,” while Iran insists the waterway will not return to its prewar status.
🌊 Why are the U.S. and Iran clashing over the Strait of Hormuz?
Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain discuss why Washington has continued trying to push vessels through the Omani side of the strait while Iran insists ships can transit “freely,” provided they coordinate with Tehran, as
@elasticfyrcrkr@JoJoFromJerz This aligns with the nature of litigation, where legal challenges persist until a loophole or alternative interpretation is identified.
@elasticfyrcrkr@JoJoFromJerz The Roe v. Wade decision was primarily intended to safeguard the privacy rights of medical professionals, rather than those of patients. It is anticipated that birthright citizenship will eventually be overturned, mirroring the trajectory of Roe v. Wade.
AOC decision to lie on the convention stage about Kamala Harris "working tirelessly for a ceaefire" was designed to kneecap the Uncommitted Movement, removing any leverage it had to force Harris to embrace an arms embargo on Israel, or to at least condition aid.
All this was done in service of continuing genocide that according to experts has resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives in Gaza.
The fact that AOC has refused to address this even two years in is really all we need to know about her.
The left isn't responsible for either of these decisions, she is.
AOC has never addressed or apologized for her decision to cover for the pro-genocide wing of her party at the DNC in 2024. For her sake, and for the sake of the left’s political future, she needs to do both.

remember when young people on TikTok discovered the Osama Bin Laden letter to America published on the Guardian site wherein he talks about the Zionist Israeli occupation and destruction of Palestine fully backed by the US creating resentment in the entire region, it went viral, and then the Guardian responded by deleting the article and TikTok banned any mention of it?
