[we need some good news]

In the old city, or Casco Viejo, bills addressing the genocide are pasted on the facades between shop windows; "Boikota Israel" (Boycott Israel) are widely sprayed on the walls of apartment blocks.

On the balconies of the colourful apartments overlooking the Nervion River, Palestinian flags are draped from every second or third apartment.

Every flag that flutters in the wet breeze announces itself as proof of life.

The level of pro-Palestine solidarity is unlike any other city I have visited in the western world over the course of the genocide.

I don't think they're very good at their job.

The Washington Post Publisher and Chief Executive Will Lewis announced Saturday evening he would depart after just two years at the paper, a tenure marked by controversy and crisis.

Lewis called his time "two years of transformation" in his resignation note, but it was defined by turbulence rather than a clear path, and it ended with brutal job cuts. The paper's chief financial officer, Jeff D'Onofrio, will serve as acting CEO.

More than a third of the newsroom was laid off Wednesday after Lewis' promises of radical innovations failed to staunch several years of annual losses in the tens of millions of dollars. At one point, losses hit $100 million, Lewis told staffers in June 2024 during a rocky newsroom all-staff. The session occurred just five months into his time at the Post. Yet it proved to be his final all-staff meeting.

Immigration operations are still stoking fear and disrupting the ability to go to work, school or doctor’s appointments

With the public’s outrage and attention focused on the deadly surge of federal agents in Minneapolis, immigration operations have quietly continued across the US – albeit in less noticeable but still troubling ways, advocates say.

In recent weeks there have been day laborers swept up at a Home Depot in San Diego. A taco truck vendor chased down outside a church in Los Angeles. Immigrants arrested at check-ins in North Carolina, and during traffic stops in the nation’s capital.

These efforts continue to stoke fear in communities and disrupt people’s abilities to work, attend school or go to doctor’s appointments. And in cities that have faced their own crackdown operations, raids and arrests haven’t stopped even after the drawdown of federal agents, with some signs that tactics are shifting.
