The IDF has begun preparations to establish a humanitarian zone that will accommodate 350,000 Gaza residents.
The zone will be established in southern Gaza in line with a cabinet decision on Saturday night, implementing the humanitarian separation plan aimed at distinguishing Gaza residents from Hamas terrorists.
At Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence, the establishment of humanitarian zones will also proceed during any ceasefire, should one occur.

We took a break from unpacking and organizing and did tour of local greenhouses and garden centres. We came across this humble establishment in Bradford that takes up 10 acres of growing and retail space. My wife said she has found her new favourite place. The Bad News - it's too close, only 15 minutes by car. The Good News - we have a tiny yard, so we might not go broke.

"It’s also a smart reply to the recent 'abundance' arguments made by many in the party’s establishment. Yes, we need to build out transit and increase housing development, but the public sector should do those things. A strong defense of the public sector against privatization, and a willingness to push for its expansion instead of opting for 'market-based solutions,' is an essential part of what it means to be a democratic socialist"
Om Malik writes: “I have been talking about this for a very long time, but the establishment media is always the last to realize their own existential threats. Just as they were slow to recognize the emergence of blogs, social media, and how Facebook was a chimera, they have been slow to realize that the old “destination internet” as a behavioral construct is over.”
In my opinion, these threats are ignored or kicked down the road due to management pressure (“we can’t invest into ...”) combined with peer pressure (“… while everyone else is doing X”).

I just received a shocking phone call that made my heart sink.
Just days after Susan Collins voted to confirm RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard,
the MAGA Republican establishment rushed Susan Collins $842K
to rescue her chances for re-election.

Mamdani follows in AOC’s footsteps,
having defeated an entrenched figure of the establishment with grassroots progressive support.
So this was a sweet moment.
Mamdani has received supportive words from both Senator Chuck Schumer…
And Governor Kathy Hochul…
Hopefully, formal endorsements are forthcoming.
An unintended, but hopeful consequence of Mamdani’s win is that, at 33 years old, he has inspired other young people to want to run for office themselves.…
Zohran Mamdani’s apparent victory late Tuesday night represented a sharp rebuke of the Democratic Party establishment
It represented, he said, the ascendance of a new Democratic coalition, one that prioritized the needs of the working class over those of the elite.
“We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford,” he said.
“A city where they can do more than just struggle. One where those who toil in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor in…
“What’s happening in NYC is a loud message to those in the Dem establishment who still cling to old politics, recite focus-grouped talking points, and are too afraid to say what needs to be said.” It was a campaign that triangulated ground game, digital style and policy substance. Mamdani was a shoe leather candidate who put himself all over the city, talked to countless voters, projected optimism without sounding preachy and had thousands of volunteers knocking on doors.
