As a U.N.-recognized famine swept Gaza, Google allowed Israel to run YouTube ads claiming ā€œThere is food in Gaza.ā€ An internal email reveals the company received many complaints about the ads, but ruled they could remain online. wapo.st/3WFtzto

During the Sept. 30 military-style raid on a South Shore building, a man heard a knock at his door. It wasn’t an ICE agent, but a mom and girl pleading for help. He let them in and hide under his bed. 🧵

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order creating ā€œICE free zonesā€ on public property and private businesses who want to participate. ā€œOur school parking lots are not for ICE to load their weapons.ā€ It’s not immediately clear how it will be enforced.

.@UNReliefChief: Kids dying of starvation, effectively their bodies consuming their own organs, what we give them to try and avoid that is this high protein peanut butter paste. We’ve been told we can’t bring it in because it’s a luxury @amanpour: Seriously? Tom: Seriously Peanut Butter.

I’m curious—why is ICE using a vehicle adorned with Mexican flags during operations across Chicago? The flags are displayed on the hood, back, and side windows of the truck.

I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. ThreadšŸ‘‡

NEW | The world's leading genocide scholars' association has overwhelmingly passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Eighty-six per cent of those who voted among the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars backed the resolution declaring: "Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)".
