The Gaza Board of Peace is the latest attempt by colonial powers to use “development” plans to manage, fragment, and dispossess Palestinians.

[ad_1] Abdullah al-Ahsan Informed Comment On 7 August 2026, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye signed a trilateral defense agreement in Mecca declaring that an armed attack against any one of the three states would be regarded as an attack against all. They have presented the agreement as a major step toward collective security and strategic autonomy in a rapidly changing map in the area.

[ad_1] From Judge Thomas Thrash (N.D. Ga.) Friday in Harvard v. Sig Sauer, Inc.; note that Harvard is just plaintiff’s last name: This is a firearm design defect case. The Sig Sauer P365X pistol is a striker-fired pistol, which uses an internal, spring-loaded firing pin to hit the primer and fire the cartridge instead of an external hammer like a traditional gun. When the slide is racked back and released forward to chamber a round, the firing pin remains back and under spring tension, making it ready to fire. The firearm did not feature a manual safety. Nonetheless, the Defendant…

[ad_1] By Jacqui Germain This article was originally published by Truthout “To say, why were we out there, why were we even protesting … is to gaslight an entire community,” said one supporter. On the afternoon of July 17, 2026, the hallway of the St. Louis County Courthouse’s third floor was mostly empty. The pre-trial hearing for 30-year-old youth minister and protester Elijah Gantt had ended 30 minutes ago, where just over a dozen members of his community support team had shown up.
