ENTIRELY INEDIBLE: ON GLITCHES AND LOSSES AND LIES

Apologies for re-visiting GOP lowlifes and their yammering Mad Emperor, but damn
things are getting weird out there. Having ended his trial not with a bang but a
craven whine - so much for "absolutely" testifying: "I tell the truth" - Trump
gave a daft, dark speech at the NRA convention, calling Biden "a Manchurian
candidate," vowing to roll back all gun control, pondering a third term and
slamming the country as a “cesspool of ruin." Then a long glitch turned him
bizarrely silent. It was blissful.

In brief: To the cretins of a sick, corrupt, fast-diminishing NRA gathered in
Dallas to endorse him, the tinpot babbled and spewed his usual ugly gibberish.
Biden is "a threat to democracy" who'd get the electric chair if a Republican,
he's fighting "hateful communists and criminals," Alvin Bragg is "Soros-backed,"
not even Lincoln did more for "the black individual in this country than Donald
J. Trump," he won 31 golf championships or 29, he's just like his friggin'
"genius" uncle at MIT, he's "a better physical specimen" than Obama, he's
started an imaginary "Gun Owners For Trump" to stop "the violent migrant crime
wave (Biden) has unleashed on our country" though violent crime has fallen
sharply, and gun owners, of which he's clearly not one, are "under seesh, we're
under seesh but they didn't move us an inch" so on Day One "we'll roll back
every gun control measure."

Then came what was widely billed a McConnell-like, 35-second "freeze" but in
fact more resembled a system glitch - in his brain, his reading of the room or
the teleprompter. He was in the middle of his 6th-grade report - "The Texas
spirit of proud independence was forged by cowboys and cattle hands, ranchers
and rangers...Many came here with nothing but the boots on their feet, the
clothes on their back, the gun in their saddle. Together they helped make
America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world" - when he
fell silent. For a long time. So did the room. He shook his head, furrowed his
brow, stared. An ad popped up for a gold IRA: "Text TRUMP." Finally, QAnon/Nazi
music swelled and he came back to awful life: "But now, we are a nation in
declined. We are a failing nation." Cue inflation, collapsing banks, drugs,
crime, dirty airports, other "horror" by "these tyrants and villains."

When news came of his "Milli Vanilli-type" malfunction, he shrieked, "Donald
Trump doesn’t freeze!" He cited a "record crowd of very enthusiastic patriots"
and a standard pause before "the musical interlude" and besides Biden "freezes
all the time," also he didn't fall when his podium once almost tipped over and
he can drink a glass of water! Observers noted it was like "Amateur City for a
live performance": At his rallies there's "cheering MAGA morons," this time
"just the abyss" of a dark room and NRA stage, like a sit-com before they add
the laugh track. His team miscalculated, the crowd missed their cue, he has a
memorized shtick he's too dumb to tweak, and he couldn't understand why nobody
was cheering. Besides, one summarized, "Never, ever trust anything when it comes
to Trump. His very existence is a criminal fraud, foully perpetrated to the
detriment of the universe."

Donald Trump Rejects Claims He 'Froze' During Rallywww.youtube.com

Meanwhile, the universe is diminished by each of his repulsive followers in the
news. "Sam Alito is a fascist insurrectionist," notes Noah Berlatsky in a piece
subtitled, "Stop with the appeasement, you quisling motherfuckers." "He
displayed a symbol of support for fascist insurrection shortly after an
attempted fascist insurrection. The obvious conclusion would be that (Alito)
supports fascist insurrection. He told us who he is. We should believe him."
Ditto Rudy Giuliani, now cringingly hawking coffee to pay his legal bills, and
Greg Abbott, who with no legal or moral justification pardoned Daniel Perry,
serving 25 years for murdering a BLM protester - a pardon, writes Will Bunch,
proving the law only applies if an undemocratic few in power say it does, and "a
gross injustice in a former Confederate state that (reeks) of the bad old days
(when) white men lynched Emmett Till and laughed at justice."

Thus, the "inverted reality" embraced by VP-hopefuls dutifully echoing the Big
Lie. "Once one of the two major governing parties no longer believes elections
are binding," notes Rachel Maddow, "in many important ways, the democracy ship
has sailed." Along with Christina 'Election Integrity' Bobb's creepy mugshot, we
have Marco Rubio, the latest to fudge on accepting election results, arguing
it's Democrats who questionGOP wins (and pay people $10 to vote). He also says
Dems are the extremists on abortion and he supports protecting "all unborn human
life," though when it comes to the lives of what he claims are up to 30 million
migrants - "We don't even know who these people are" - the son of immigrants
says, "This is not immigration...This is an invasion of the country." Add
another sad bootlicker inexplicably in thrall to the guy who praises "the late,
great Hannibal Lecter," though it turns out it's not reciprocal.


Dr. Hannibal Lecter DECLINES Trump's V.P. Offerwww.youtube.com

And that guy just keeps losing. New earnings filings show Trump Media &
Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, reported a net loss of
$327.6 million, with revenue of just $770,500, in its first fiscal quarter since
debuting as a public company on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Also, his campaign to
get back the job he so disastrously failed to do isn't doing well in the Saying
the Quiet Part Aloud Dept. After eloquently suggesting he might limit access to
contraception - "We're looking at that, and I'm going to have a policy on that
very shortly...You will find it, I think, very smart" - he abruptly backtracked
- "Things really do have a lot to do with the states, and some states are gonna
have different policies" - almost like he has no idea what he's talking about.
Same with a slipshod video he posted to celebrate his upcoming victory, that
touted "A UNIFIED REICH," which quickly went missing.

And there's his trial, nearing its ignoble end. Despite 10 contempt findings, he
isn't in jail, but not much else went well. His D-list, red-tie, Hell's Angels!
posse - "circling (him) like the cold fragments of a destroyed planet" - was
widely mocked, witnesses gave damning testimony, after insisting he'd testify he
chickened out, and after claiming MAGA warriors would storm the barricades if he
was prosecuted, nobody came. So he made them up: "Thousands of people were
turned away, it is an armed camp to keep people away, it looks like Fort Knox."
This is complete and utter bullshit," said one observer. Others: "There is
virtually complete freedom of movement around the courthouse," "Nothing is
happening," "There is a mouse pissing on a ball of cotton in China - that’s how
quiet it is out here." Later, he bleated Judge Merchan should dismiss the case:
"The right thing to do is to END THIS SCAM NOW AND FOREVERMORE." Yes. Please.

'WAKE-UP CALL FOR THE WORLD': MILLIONS IMPACTED BY EXTREME FLOODS IN BRAZIL

Experts emphasized the escalating risks of climate-related disasters and their
disproportionate impacts on low-income people on Monday following flooding in
Brazil that has killed at least 150 people and displaced more than 600,000.

The floods that hit over recent days and weeks have knocked out bridges and the
main airport in Porto Alegre, a port city in southern Brazil. More than 460 of
the 497 municipalities in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sol have been
affected, with more than 2 million people impacted, according to provisional
government data.

"The situation is catastrophic," said Rachel Soeiro, Médecins Sans Frontières
(MSF) medical coordinator in Brazil, who visited the area by helicopter. "We
were able to view the towns from above and noticed that in some cases we
couldn't even see the roofs of houses.”

More than two feet of rain has fallen so far this month, according Brazil's
national weather service, inundating large areas.

"Whole towns and large, urban city centers are in some cases almost completely
underwater," the BBCreported on Saturday.

Experts connected the extreme rainfall to climate change, which increases the
likelihood of such weather events. Incidents of extreme flooding have increased
"sharply" across the planet in the last two decades, according to a study in
Nature Water released last year.


"In many ways, this is not a disaster of Brazil’s making. The whole planet is
experiencing increasingly rapid climate changes due largely to the greenhouse
gases produced by a handful of wealthy nations," Cristiane Fontes (Krika),
executive director of World Resources Institute (WRI) Brasil, wrote in a
commentary earlier this month in which she called the situation a "wake-up call
for the world."

In recent weeks, flooding has also hit China, the United Arab Emirates, and
Australia, and WRI's staff in Kenya are dealing with dam breaches from heavy
rains, Fontes noted.

A Brazilian expert indicated that the flooding, catastrophic as it has been,
should not come as a surprise.

"People on the streets here in Brazil, they've attributed this change to global
climate change driven by the increase of fossil fuels," Paulo Artaxo, a physics
professor at the University of Sao Paulo, and a member of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He
explained that was in line with IPCC projections showing that southern Brazil
would face more extreme rainfall due to tropical and polar currents.

In Brazil, as elsewhere, climate impacts are not evenly distributed. MSF relief
efforts are focused on the most vulnerable, including Indigenous communities,
one of which had been isolated by rising waters and without help for 10 days
before being reached by the humanitarian group.

"Assisting those who are most vulnerable is one of our main concerns in such
situations," Soeiro said. "These people were already facing difficult situations
before the flooding. But their needs have risen further and access to them has
become more difficult."

Some wealthy people in Porto Alegre have choices such as escaping to a second
home, but in "rundown towns" on the city's periphery, low-income people have no
such options, according to CNN.

Brazilian left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pledged to provide
relief money to families that lost their homes. Brazil is one of most unequal
countries in the world, according to World Bank data.

FTC CHAIR LINA KHAN SHOULD TAKE JIM CRAMER'S 'UNHINGED' OBSESSION AS 'BADGE OF
HONOR'

The American Economic Liberties Project on Monday called outCNBC's Jim Cramer
for at least dozens of "hostile" televised attacks on Federal Trade Commission
Chair Lina Khan and her "historic pro-working families record."

The left-leaning group has been compiling Cramer's "most egregious on-air
outbursts" over Khan since early last year and its tracker now features more
than 30 clips from "Mad Money" and "Squawk on the Street."

When President Joe Biden nominated Khan to lead the FTC in 2021, she was an
associate professor of law at Columbia Law School who had previously worked for
the Open Markets Institute, the office of former Commissioner Rohit Chopra, and
the U.S. House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and
Administrative Law.

As the clips collected by the project show, Cramer has described Khan as an
"empty suit," "stupid," and a "total hack." The ex-hedge fund manager has also
compared the agency leader's views to those of Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, and
Don Quixote.



Cramer has called out specific FTC actions under Khan—repeatedly blasting a
lawsuit against Amazon, a company founded by one of the richest persons on the
planet—and broadly accused the "rogue" agency of "torturing all the companies
that America likes."

When one of Cramer's colleagues pointed out last October that he has taken
"every opportunity to just come back to Khan," he responded, "No, I've missed
opportunities and I regret that."

The tracker page states that "if Cramer was accurately reporting what the FTC is
doing, he would see that Chair Khan is pursuing a pro-business, pro-innovation,
and pro-worker agenda. And he is capable of it: he did, for example, proclaim
the FTC's case against Kroger-Albertsons to be strong."

Noting Cramer's praise for Jonathan Kanter, an assistant attorney general at the
Department of Justice whom the host has called a "heavyweight" and "rigorous
thinker," the page adds that "he is so blinded by his obsession of Chair Khan
that he sometimes even rails against her for suits brought by the DOJ and
forgets to give the Antitrust Division credit for its work."



American Economic Liberties Project spokesperson Jimmy Wyderko said in a
statement Monday that "Jim Cramer's anger over the FTC's enforcement record has
turned into a full-blown obsession, launching nearly weekly barbs at Chair Khan
with the zeal of a carnival barker defending his turf."

"This has manifested on national cable news through a series of unhinged,
incoherent, and often inaccurate rants from Jim Cramer attacking the FTC for
standing up to big corporations and delivering kitchen table wins to working
families," he continued.

"Given Jim Cramer's role as mouthpiece and cheerleader for monopolists across
the economy, Chair Khan should consider his harassment a badge of honor,"
Wyderko added. "We hope to see Jim Cramer get over his fixation syndrome, which
is evidently even starting to frustrate his colleagues, as soon as he is able."

'GUESS I HIT A NERVE': MCGOVERN REBUKES 'PATHETIC' GOP FOR STRIKING REMARKS
ABOUT TRUMP

Congressman Jim McGovern had a few additional disparaging words Thursday for his
GOP colleagues, a day after factual remarks about former president Donald Trump
he made on the House floor were formally stricken from the record by Republicans
who control the gavel.

"I guess I hit a nerve," McGovern said in an early morning post on X.

"In their creepy cult-like devotion to Trump," added the Massachusetts Democrat,
"House Republicans won't allow anybody to say anything they deem as negative
about him on the floor. So much for freedom of speech. Like I said
yesterday—pathetic!"


Explaining the situation in a social media thread on Wednesday evening, McGovern
detailed how earlier in the day Republicans in the House "moved to 'take down my
words,' a procedural term meaning they think I violated the rules and that my
words should be stricken from the record. Why? Because I stated facts about
Trump's trials."

Watch the clip showing McGovern's remarks and the reaction it received:

> 🧵 This afternoon during debate, Republicans moved to “take down my words,” a
> procedural term meaning they think I violated the rules and that my words
> should be stricken from the record. Why? Because I stated facts about Trump’s
> trials.
> 
> Let’s talk about it. pic.twitter.com/LqMMMIMsZF
> — Rep. Jim McGovern (@RepMcGovern) May 23, 2024

Posting a complete transcript of his remarks, McGovern said: "Read them
yourself. Whether you love Trump or hate him, I was simply stating facts about
his legal problems. I didn't say he was guilty or innocent. I didn't disparage
him. I was stating facts."

And here's what he said:

> We have a presumptive nominee for president facing 88 felony counts, and we're
> being prevented from even acknowledging it. These are not alternative facts.
> These are real facts.
> 
> A candidate for president of the United States is on trial for sending ahush
> money payment to a porn star to avoid a sex scandal during his 2016 campaign,
> and then fraudulently disguising those payments in violation of the law. He's
> also charged with conspiring to overturn the election. He's also charged with
> stealing classified information, and a jury has already found him liable for
> rape in a civil court.
> 
> And yet, in this Republican-controlled House, it's okay to talk about the
> trial, but you have to call it a "sham." It's okay to say that the jury is
> rigged, but not that Trump should be held accountable. It's okay to say the
> court is corrupt, but not that Trump is corrupting the rule of law.

As the Washington Postreported, the House "was brought to a halt for over an
hour" after Republicans objected to McGovern's remarks, including one lawmaker,
Republican Congresswoman Erin Houchin of Indiana, who declared, "Mr. Speaker, I
demand that his words be taken down."

At the time of the procedural altercation, it was Rep. Jerry L. Carl (R-Ala.)
presiding over the House floor and holding the Speaker's gavel who first
admonished McGovern as he told members they must refrain from attacks directed
toward "presumed nominees for the office of the president," in this case Trump.

After an hour of deliberation with the clerk and members of the GOP-controlled
Rules committee, Carl went back to the lectern to announce that McGovern's
words, in his judgement, were a violation of an archaic House rule that
originally was conceived to prevent, as the Post reports, "House members from
criticizing the king."

Carl argued it was "a breach of order to refer to a candidate in terms...
personally offensive." While Trump is not technically the Republican nominee for
president at this point, and won't be until the RNC convention this summer, Carl
argued the rule also applies "once there's no reasonable dispute that the
candidate will receive the nomination."

Following this announcement, McGovern's remarks were ordered stricken and he was
barred from speaking on the House floor for the remainder of the day.

"Apparently, Republicans are allowed to say [on the House floor] that Trump's
trial is a sham, and the judge is corrupt and the jury is rigged," McGovern said
in his Wednesday evening post. "But it's against the rules for me to even
acknowledge that the trials exist."

"But look," he added, "I get it."


"Republicans don't want Americans to know the truth about the man they support.
I will keep speaking the truth," said McGovern. "They can try to shut me up, but
they will fail. They don't want Americans to know the truth about the man they
support. We need to make sure everyone hears it."

closer to appearing on this November's ballot Monday as reproductive rights
defenders submitted nearly twice the number of required signatures to state
election officials.

Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, the coalition spearheading the ballot
measure, said it submitted more than 200,000 signatures from every county in the
state—where abortion is legal up to 24 weeks of pregnancy—supporting the Nevada
Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment. Proposed 2024 Nevada ballot questions
need 102,362 verified signatures to qualify; campaigners generally aim to
collect double the required number of signatures, as many are disqualified for
various reasons.

"This is a true testament to the volunteers, supporters, and coalition partners
who recognize the importance of codifying abortion rights into our state
constitution," Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom said on social media. "We're
officially one step closer."

"The number of signatures gathered in just over three months shows how deeply
Nevadans believe in abortion rights and its importance to this moment in our
nation's history."

Speaking to supporters outside the Clark County Courthouse in Las Vegas on
Monday, Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom president Lindsey Harmon said that
"the majority of Nevadans agree that the government should stay out of their
personal and private decisions... about our bodies, our lives, and our futures."

"The number of signatures gathered in just over three months shows how deeply
Nevadans believe in abortion rights and its importance to this moment in our
nation's history," Harmon added.

Nevada constitutional amendments must be approved by voters twice. If the
proposed abortion rights amendment qualifies for the ballot and is approved by
voters this November, it will appear again on the 2026 statewide ballot.

Last November, Carson City District Court Judge James Russell sided with
right-wing advocacy groups who argued that the proposed amendment violates
Nevada law by covering more than one subject. After Nevadans for Reproductive
Freedom subsequently narrowed the proposal's focus, Russell ruled the coalition
could proceed with signature gathering. In April, the Nevada Supreme Court
affirmed the proposed ballot measure's original language.

Four states—Florida, Kansas, Maryland, and New York—have abortion rights
measures on November's ballot, while Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, and Nevada have proposed such initiatives.

Since the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court voided half a century of federal
abortion rights nearly two years ago in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health
Organization, seven states have let voters weigh in on the issue. People in all
seven states—including conservative Kansas, Kentucky, and Montana—have voted to
either protect and expand abortion rights or defeat measures seeking to restrict
access to the procedure.

Meanwhile, 14 states have enacted total abortion bans, while 27 have legislated
restrictions on the procedure based on duration of pregnancy, according to the
Guttmacher Institute.

EXPERTS SAY ISRAELI APARTHEID—NOT PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD—IS THE REAL 'GIFT TO
HAMAS'

As Israel and its international supporters seethe over Wednesday's announcement
that three European countries will recognize Palestinian statehood, Palestine
advocates refuted claims that such recognition is a "gift to Hamas" by arguing
Israel's slaughter in Gaza, settler-colonization of the West Bank, and apartheid
and other oppression in the illegally occupied territories are a recruitment
boon for the militant resistance group.

In a joint statement, Ireland, Norway, and Spain said they will formally
recognize the state of Palestine on May 28, which will bring the total number of
nations that have done so to 145. Almost all of the Global South recognizes
Palestine, while just a relative handful of so-called developed nations
do—including Sweden, Iceland, and most of Eastern Europe. The United States has
actively discouraged countries from recognizing Palestinian statehood and United
Nations membership.

"Hamas feeds off of Palestinian hopelessness. Israel's denial of Palestinian
rights has functioned as a Hamas recruitment program."

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded to Wednesday's announcement by
threatening "severe consequences" for the three countries. Katz—a member of
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling Likud party—called
recognition of Palestine "an injustice to the memory of the victims of October
7, a blow to efforts to return the 128 hostages, and a boost to Hamas and Iran's
jihadists."

The claim that recognition is a "reward" or "gift" to Hamas—whose fighters led
the attack on Israel that left more than 1,100 people dead and over 240 others
in captivity—reverberated from social media to the halls of the U.S. Congress in
the wake of the three countries' announcement. However, some experts weighed in
on the policies and practices that they believe are driving young Palestinians
to embrace violent resistance.

"Those claiming this 'rewards Hamas' have it exactly backward," said Matt Duss,
executive vice president of the Center for International Policy and former chief
foreign policy adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vt.). "Hamas feeds off of
Palestinian hopelessness. Israel's denial of Palestinian rights has functioned
as a Hamas recruitment program. Diplomatic recognition offers a credible
alternative nonviolent path to liberation."


> — (@)

U.S. political commentator Krystal Ball said on social media that "those saying
Palestinian statehood is a 'gift to Hamas,' please take note that what has
actually bolstered Hamas is Israel's genocidal slaughter which has allowed Hamas
to recruit thousands of new members."


Israel also actively propped up Hamas for years, viewing it as a means of
countering and weakening the largely toothless Palestinian National Authority
and its leader, President Mahmoud Abbas. The New York Timesreported in December
that Israeli security forces helped Qatari officials deliver suitcases stuffed
full of millions of dollars in cash to Hamas,which has governed Gaza for nearly
two decades and is considered a terrorist group by Israel and the U.S.


According to the Times, Israel allowed billions of dollars to flow from the
Qatari government into Hamas' coffers, to be spent on government salaries,
infrastructure, and humanitarian endeavors. This allowed Hamas to divert funds
previously budgeted for those purposes into armed resistance. The payments
continued as late as 2021.


Israeli leaders and their U.S. backers similarly claimed that any cease-fire in
Gaza would be a "gift to Hamas" that would allow it to regroup and rearm. As the
human toll of Israel's assault—more than 126,000 Palestinians killed, maimed, or
missing; nearly 2 million forcibly displaced Gazans; widespread starvation; and
lifelong trauma—mount, so too do motivations for Palestinians to join Hamas and
other militant groups.

"Killing terrorists too often breeds more terrorism. This is an inescapable
lesson of both America's decadeslong 'War on Terror' and Israel's ceaseless
struggle against Hamas, Hezbollah, and other violent insurgencies," Matthew
Levinger, a professor of international relations at George Washington
University, wrote earlier this year for Just Security.


So does killing civilians. As U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has
acknowledged: "In this kind of a fight, the center of gravity is the civilian
population. And if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a
tactical victory with a strategic defeat."

POLICE MAKE FIRST ARREST FOR ASSAULT ON PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTERS AT UCLA

THE ARREST FOLLOWED A CNN INVESTIGATION THAT DOCUMENTED THE HOURSLONG ATTACK AND
IDENTIFIED KEY PERPETRATORS FROM THE PRO-ISRAEL MOB.


Edward Carver
May 24, 2024

University of California, Los Angeles police on Thursday made their first arrest
in the case of a violent mob attack on protestors at a peaceful pro-Palestine
encampment at the university on April 30 and May 1.

The police charged Edan On, an 18-year-old high school senior, with felony
assault for attacking at least one person with a wooden pole. He was remanded to
a Los Angeles jail, where he's being held on a $30,000 bond, according toThe
Guardian. On was first identified for his role in the mob attack, led by
so-called counterprotestors, in a CNNinvestigation published May 16.



"Video shows On joining the counterprotesters while waving a long white pole,"
CNN reported. "At one point, he strikes a pro-Palestinian protester with the
pole, and appears to continue to strike him even when he was down, as fellow
counterprotesters piled on."

Your browser does not support the video tag. "The footage appears to show Edan
On, in the white hoodie, and others striking at a pro-Palestinian protester on
the ground," CNN reported. (Source: CNN/Key News Network)

The pro-Israel mob caused more than 25 protestors to be sent to the hospital
with "fractures, severe lacerations, and chemical-induced injuries," and more
than 150 were assaulted with bear and pepper spray, CNN reported.

Thistle Boosinger, a 23-year-old member of the encampment, had her hand smashed.
"My bone is broken totally in half below my knuckle… [which is] shattered into a
bunch of pieces and jumbled up," she told CNN. In another incident during the
attack, a fourth-year UCLA student suffered two head injuries in a matter of
minutes. After being hit in the forehead with a traffic cone, he was hit in the
back of the head with a wooden plank, video shows.

The CNN investigation identified some of the other assailants and documented the
violence from the attack, which lasted for seven hours. Videos captured not just
violence but also hateful rhetoric. An unidentified person in a hoodie, who like
On attacked a pro-Palestine protester with a pole at one point, yelled, "You
guys are about to get fucked up," and "Fuck you, fucking terrorists," as well
as, "The score is 30,000"—a reference to the death toll in Gaza.

The mob also shouted "Second Nakba!" at the protestors, referring to the forced
displacement of Palestinians from their homeland in the late 1940s, according to
a Los Angeles Times reporter.


On's mother, who had previously described UCLA student protesters as "human
animals," bragged about his role in the attack on social media, even circling an
image of him. "Edan went to bully the Palestinian students in the tents at UCLA
and played the song that they played to the Nukhba terrorists in prison!" she
wrote in Hebrew, CNN reported. When the outlet sought an interview with On, his
mother claimed that he was in Israel and planned to join the Israel Defense
Forces.

"Video footage shows that some counterprotesters instigated the fighting," CNN
reported. "Then police did little as a large group of counterprotesters calmly
walked away, leaving behind bloody, bruised students and other protesters."

The hands-off approach was criticized in light of the heavy-handed tactics that
police have used against campus protesters across the country, in spite of the
fact that the protests have been overwhelmingly nonviolent. More than 800 UCLA
faculty and staff signed a letter calling for university Chancellor Gene Block
to resign—and to adhere to students' demands to divest from military weapons
production companies and supporting systems—but the academic senate narrowly
voted not to censure him.

News of On's arrest followed other events Thursday related to pro-Palestine
activism at UCLA. Block testified before the Republican-led U.S. House Committee
on Education and the Workforce, some of whose members grilled him for being
inattentive to antisemitism on campus. Taking an opposing position, Rep. Ilhan
Omar (D-Minn.) asked why no one had been held to account for the mob attack, the
Los Angeles Times reported.

As Block was testifying, student activists took the opportunity to form a new
encampment, amassing a group of about 300 people in an academic hall at one
point, but the group had to move twice and they were removed by police in riot
gear relatively quickly, according toThe New York Times. This may have marked a
new approach to protests by the Block administration.

Block told the House committee on Thursday that "with the benefit of hindsight,
we should have been prepared to immediately remove the encampment if and when
the safety of our community was put at risk."

US, EU URGED TO 'USE THEIR LEVERAGE' TO FORCE ISRAELI COMPLIANCE WITH ICJ ORDER

"GOVERNMENTS SHOULD USE THEIR LEVERAGE—INCLUDING ARMS EMBARGOES AND TARGETED
SANCTIONS—TO PRESS ISRAEL TO COMPLY," SAID HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH'S ISRAEL AND
PALESTINE DIRECTOR.



Brett Wilkins
May 24, 2024

While welcoming Friday's International Court of Justice order for Israel to
"immediately halt" its Rafah offensive, human rights defenders around the world
stressed the need for a Gaza-wide cease-fire and for the international community
to use tools including sanctions and arms embargoes to compel Israeli
compliance.

The United Nations' top court ruled 13-2 that Israel must address the
"humanitarian catastrophe" it created in Rafah by stopping its assault on the
city and "other actions which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza
conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or
in part"—language drawn from the legal definition of genocide under Article II
of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.



The order did not call for a cease-fire throughout Gaza as sought by South
Africa, which has filed multiple emergency requests at the ICJ since launching a
wider genocide case against Israel backed by more than 30 nations.

> — (@)

As the death toll from Israel's 231-day assault on Gaza approaches 36,000
Palestinians, with more than 80,000 others wounded, at least 11,000 people
missing and presumed dead and buried beneath rubble, nearly 9 in 10 Gazans
forcibly displaced, and widespread starvation taking a deadly toll on some of
the most vulnerable people in the besieged enclave, Palestine advocates
underscored the imperative of a cease-fire and Israeli compliance with the ICJ
order.

"Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza has killed or injured 5% of the entire
population—mostly women and children—and pushed the rest to the brink of
famine," U.K.-based Oxfam International said in a statement following the ICJ
decision. "The Israeli government must immediately comply with the court's
ruling and halt its brutal offensive on Rafah and the rest of Gaza."


Human Rights Watch Israel and Palestine director Omar Shakir said on social
media that "governments should use their leverage—including arms embargoes and
targeted sanctions—to press Israel to comply."


> — (@)

Matt Carthy, a Sinn Féin member of Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish
legislature, called the ICJ order "a welcome development that stands as an
example of the international legal system and multilateralism working as
intended."

"But if we are to see this order enforced and any relief delivered to the
Palestinian people of Gaza then we must see the groundswell of global support
for a cease-fire matched with meaningful diplomatic and economic sanctions
against Israel until they are brought into compliance with international
humanitarian law," Carthy stressed.

"Too many world leaders, including within the European Union, have to date
failed to show a willingness to hold Israel to account—where Europe refuses to
act, Ireland must follow South Africa's example and become leaders," he added,
noting Ireland's official support for South Africa's case.

Josep Borrell, the E.U.'s foreign policy chief, expressed the dilemma faced by
the 27-nation bloc: "What is going to be the answer to the ruling of the
International Court of Justice that has been issued today, what is going to be
our position? We will have to choose between our support to international
institutions of the rule of law or our support to Israel."

> — (@)

Many observers called on the United States—which provides Israel with billions
of dollars in military aid, as well as diplomatic cover in the form of U.N.
Security Council vetoes and genocide denial—to press Israel to abide by the
ICJ's binding order.

"While the Biden administration stands alone in continuing to offer full support
for Israel's genocide in Gaza, the international community is increasingly
pushing back against the slaughter, forced starvation, and ethnic cleansing
Israel's far-right government is inflicting on the Palestinian people," Nihad
Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in a
statement.

"Israel is clearly attempting to make Gaza uninhabitable. It must be stopped
from completing this monstrous goal," Awad added. "President [Joe] Biden must
honor this important ruling by immediately ending all military assistance to
Israel's genocide."

Progressive U.S. lawmakers echoed these sentiments.

"Either you trust international law enforcement and courts or you don't, but the
international court has ordered [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu to
stop his invasion of Rafah in Gaza," Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) said on social
media. "Do nations follow norms and standards, or not? And can leaders like
Netanyahu be convicted of war crimes if he ignores them?"


> — (@)

Numerous key stakeholders in the ICJ case also weighed in on Friday's ruling.


South Africa hailed what Foreign Ministry Director-General Zane Dangor called
the "groundbreaking" order.

Hamas official Basem Naim urged the international community to "immediately
implement this demand by the World Court into practical measures" to compel
Israeli compliance.

Israeli officials, however, said they had no intention of complying with the
order. The National Security Council and Foreign Ministry issued a joint
statement blasting what the agencies called the "false, outrageous, and morally
repugnant" genocide charges against Israel. Far-right Israeli National Security
Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir took to social media to post a quote from David
Ben-Gurion, the first Israeli prime minister, who said that "our future does not
depend on what the Gentiles will say, but on what the Jews will do."


Referring to the Palestinians, Ben-Gurion also presciently noted that "a people
which fights against the usurpation of its land will not tire so easily," and
Rafah's defenders continued fighting Friday as Israeli forces escalated their
assault on the city. More than 900,000 people—many of them refugees from other
parts of the embattled Gaza Strip—have recently fled Rafah, according to United
Nations agencies and the U.S. government.

Friday's order comes days after International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim
Khan announced he is seeking arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Israeli Defense
Minister Yoav Gallant as well as Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and
Mohammed Deif.

SOUTHEAST ABORTION CLINIC WAIT TIMES SOARED AFTER FLORIDA BAN

BEFORE THE BAN, THE AVERAGE FLORIDA RESIDENT LIVED 20 MILES FROM A CLINIC AND
WOULD NEED TO WAIT FIVE DAYS TO ACCESS AN ABORTION; AFTER THE BAN, THE DRIVING
DISTANCE JUMPED TO 590 MILES AND THE WAIT TIME TO ALMOST 14 DAYS.


Olivia Rosane
May 24, 2024

Wait times have increased at 30% of the abortion clinics in the states closest
to Florida its draconian six-week abortion ban went into effect on May 1.

The data comes from a survey carried out by Middlebury University economics
professor Caitlin Myers and her undergraduate students, which was reported by
The Washington Post on Friday.



"Distance and wait times are up... but telehealth is helping meet demand," Myers
wrote on social media, summarizing her findings.

> — (@)

Suspecting that the U.S. Supreme Court would overturnRoe v. Wade in the summer
of 2022, Myers began to survey abortion clinics about their wait times starting
in March of that year. In her new survey tracking the impact of the Florida ban,
Myers and her students called 130 clinics in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. They made their first
round of calls last month before Florida's ban went into effect, and the next
round on May 13.

Before the ban, the average Florida resident lived 20 miles from a clinic and
would need to wait five days to access an abortion. After the ban, the driving
distance increased by nearly 30 times to 590 miles and the wait time expanded to
almost 14 days.

The Post also conducted its own analysis and found that the ban has forced
around 7 million reproductive-age women in Florida and nearby states to travel
farther if they need an abortion after six weeks, with the average woman now
needing to drive for over seven more hours than before. The paper also found
that the ban impacted a larger proportion of Black and low-income women when
compared with national demographics.


Further, the Post spoke to clinic workers who detailed some of the individual
stories behind the data.

Fort Lauderdale clinic director Eileen Diamond recounted the story of one woman
who had traveled from Houston to Florida in search of an abortion, only learning
after an 18-hour drive that Florida had passed its six-week ban. The woman, who
was nine-weeks pregnant, then had to drive at least another 12 hours to Virginia
and another 17 home.

"This woman was desperate," Diamond told the Post. "She had used everything she
had to come to us."

Sometimes, different state restrictions can interact to make life even more
difficult for those in need of abortion care. North Carolina, the closest state
to Florida where abortion is legal after six weeks, requires patients to wait 72
hours between an initial consultation with a physician and the actual procedure,
which puts up additional barriers for out-of-state patients. As the Post
explained:

> One Florida patient recently traveled 23 hours on a Greyhound bus for a
> consultation appointment at A Woman's Choice in Charlotte, according to
> Lakeynn Huffman, the clinic manager—returning home that night because she
> could not find childcare to cover the full 72 hours she had to wait between
> appointments.
> 
> The woman made the same trip two days later, Huffman said—traveling for a
> total of 92 hours to get an abortion.

While Florida's ban has put an additional burden on neighboring clinics, the
rush has been less dramatic than after Texas passed its six-week ban in 2021.
Myers explained that this is because more women are accessing abortion pills in
the mail via telemedicine consultations.

However, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments last month in Food and Drug
Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, a case brought by
right-wing anti-abortion activists that seeks to restrict access to the widely
used abortion pill mifepristone. The court is expected to issue a final ruling
in June.

"Telehealth is really a game changer for abortion access," Myers told the Post.
"But it might be a fragile one."
