    Rather than pledge to stop supporting genocide to win the votes of people who can't stomach the daily carnage, she is courting Trump's base on Fox News and touting endorsements from architects of the Iraq War.

    I opposed Biden because of the genocide. Then I was excited about Kamala because I thought she would be better, but after a few weeks, it's clear she does not represent a change from Biden. So now I'm apathetic again.

    Killer Kamala?

    Same. I wanted to believe so badly. I would honestly accept the smallest hint that she was going to be different. Something to tell myself as I pull the lever. But if anything, she is toeing the line even more carefully than she did before.

    Kamala Harris issued a Whitehouse statement condemning Hamas after the body of an American hostage was found last week:

    Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas’ continued brutality, and so must the entire world.

    ...

    As Vice President, I have no higher priority than the safety of American citizens, wherever they are in the world.

    Will this be the trigger for her to use equally strong language to condemn Israel, who has killed 30 times more people in the ongoing genocide than Hamas? Or will she just reiterate as she did in her recent CNN interview that:

    I’m unequivocal and — and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself.

    ...

    CNN Reporter: But no change in policy in terms of arms and — and so forth?

    No.

    Does she care about all Americans, or only those whose deaths justify continuing this genocide?

    In backyard ultras, where competitors keep running until they can no longer maintain a pace of approximately 4 mph, the male record is 50% longer at 450 miles than the female record of 300 miles.

    The men's world record marathon time is 9% faster than the women's. That's significant. The male runner would finish over two miles ahead of the female runner.

    The outlet, which describes itself as Pennsylvania’s only African American-owned and operated radio station, also said the White House’s decision to supply questions to Lawful-Sanders prolonged a historical practice of marginalizing and “de-legitimizing Black voices” in US media. "Lawful-Sanders was one of two battleground state radio hosts who aired an interview with Biden on 4 July and described being given questions by the president’s staff ahead of the conversation."

    To suspend the number of people who can apply for asylum, Biden is relying on the same mechanism Donald Trump turned to during his presidency: section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. But in the 40 years since the US created its asylum system, no other Democrat suspended people’s ability to seek refuge in the US – an international right.  Moreover, under the order, people apprehended near the border will have to “manifest” their fear of prosecution if deported, and will not be explicitly asked by immigration officials, as has been the case for decades. This practice, known unofficially as a “shout test”, could turn back those who could still be eligible for protections.

    Student editors at the Columbia Law Review say they were pressured by the journal’s board of directors to halt publication of an academic article written by a Palestinian human rights lawyer that accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and upholding an apartheid regime. When the editors refused the request and published the piece on Monday morning, the board – composed of faculty and alumni from Columbia University’s law school – shut down the law review’s website entirely. It remained offline on Tuesday evening, a static homepage informing visitors the domain “is under maintenance”.
