Israel assassinated Mohammad al-Wahidi, the manager of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza. The strike was carried out just one hour before Egypt’s World Cup match began. The committee had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across Gaza.

🇪🇬🇵🇸 Le preguntaron a Hossam Hassan en la rueda de prensa previo al partido con Argentina sobre su foto con la bandera palestina: "Quién no sienta el sufrimiento palestino, carece de humanidad". "Es una vergüenza para el mundo entero, no solo para el mundo árabe, una vergüenza para todos y, ante todo, una vergüenza para los responsables que dejan de lado a seres humanos". "Nosotros nos quedamos en nuestras casas, vivimos en un entorno cómodo, hace calor y tenemos aire acondicionado, comemos, bebemos y vestimos con la mejor ropa, mientras que el pueblo palestino vive a la intemperie. Quien no sienta su sufrimiento, no es humano." "En Gaza la gente no tiene nada para protegerse, ni de la lluvia, ni del frío, ni del sol abrasador. Cuando un perro es maltratado, piden castigar al culpable, ¿pero qué pasa con quienes matan inocentes en Gaza con misiles cada día? El pueblo palestino vive sin hogar, sin refugio, sin agua ni comida." "Exigimos para ellos vida y justicia, y al igual que la FIFA enarbolan lemas que reclaman justicia, también debemos exigir su derecho a la vida Es una vergüenza para todos nosotros. Por favor, dejen vivir al pueblo palestino".

Security camera video appears to show an Israeli soldier throwing a stun grenade into a car carrying young Palestinians during a raid on Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, before appearing to force the door shut as it detonated.

New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear: "We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else. "The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all. "It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too. "You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means. "The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit. "How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal. "At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest. "But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

News publishers are suing OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging unauthorized use of copyrighted journalism to train AI systems. “There is an intellectual effort that goes into producing work, including journalism, and companies need to be compensated for that.” — Michael Bolden, Dean of UC Berkeley’s School of Journalism (@ucbsoj) bit.ly/4v9bEKG

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize for gene editing and went on Bloomberg to say the chatbots everyone is betting on cannot innovate at all. Every promise Silicon Valley is making about AI curing disease just hit the one person qualified to check it. She has spent her whole career inside the actual frontier of curing disease. So when she talks about what AI can and cannot do in biology, she is not guessing. She is reporting from inside the lab. Her words were blunt. She is not seeing chatbots innovate. They summarize data. They write reports. They do not come up with a brand new idea nobody has ever had. Then the interviewer pushed. So you're saying AI can't innovate? Doudna did not flinch. She does not know if it can't. She just does not see it doing it right now. This lands harder when you remember who is making the opposite case. Sam Altman says AI will eliminate disease within five years. Larry Ellison says AI will cure cancer in a 48 hour window. An OpenAI executive even floated that the company should get a cut of sales on any drug discovered through ChatGPT. Doudna answered that in two words. Good luck. Even the cancer specialists Altman is selling to keep warning that cancer is not one disease but hundreds, each needing its own cure, and that compute does not skip the years of lab work. Her reason is simpler. Biology is hard. You cannot simulate your way to an understanding of the human body. The people promising cures are the ones selling the tool. The person who actually won a Nobel building them is telling you it has not happened yet. Source: Bloomberg Originals Watch the full video on their official channel.

Join us on Thursday from 5p - 7p at the Oakland Library, located at 1021 81st Avenue, to discuss OPD’s 2025 Annual Report on the Use of Military Equipment in Policing. This meeting is an opportunity for community members to discuss the department’s use of military equipment.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: “The latent racism of the Republican Party was the kindling and Trump just lit the flame. But it’s always been there. There is a tendency to see Trump as this departure from what Republicans previously have been, but he’s not. What he’s done is taken the mask off. Trump is vulgar, that’s the difference”
