Israel continues campaign into southern Gaza: As Israel orders Palestinians to evacuate parts of the south, humanitarian groups say nowhere is safe in Gaza. The UN says an “even more hellish scenario is about to unfold” and the IDF pushes into Khan Younis, Gaza’s second largest city, where thousands are sheltering in an overburdened hospital. The story evolves by the minute, so check here for updates. The death toll in Gaza stands at 15,899—a number that is certain to rise if Israel continues this offensive—and 42,000 have been injured since October 7. About 1.9 million people have been displaced.
Israel ramps up attacks across the Gaza Strip, including around hospitals and in the south of besieged enclave.

Manny Ellis trial continues: Matthew Collins, one of three Tacoma police officers charged with killing Ellis, said he was so focused on cuffing Ellis that he did not hear him say he couldn’t breathe. Another officer on the scene that night, Masiyh Ford, testified that Collins was present when Ellis said he could not breathe. Collins, who said he’d do nothing different, testified that Ellis displayed “superhuman” strength and said he believed Ellis suffered from “excited delirium,” a cause of death major medical and psychological associations say is not real. Ellis suffocated, according to the Pierce County Medical Examiner. More here from the Tacoma News Tribune.
George Santos, the motion picture: The Hill reports that HBO has optioned the rights to a book about Santos for a film already in development at the network. There’s a lot to say about a man with an invented biography who became the only congressman ejected from the House who wasn’t already convicted criminal or supported the Confederacy. Santos allegedly stole from Republican donors to buy Ferragamo, Botox, and OnlyFans, a site he claimed not to know about, so in the vernacular, it’s like saying you’re unfamiliar with sex. I read on Twitter that a bunch of different actors should play him I’m Not There-style, an idea I love.
ICYMI: I published the sixth and (for now) final entry of Forced Out about trans political refugees fleeing red state laws limiting their civil rights and access to medical care. It’s about Bumblebee, a bubbly woman who transitioned just in time for Texas to pass a handful of anti-trans laws, and her journey to find a new home and family. It’s also about a person who lived her life online stepping into herself in the real world.
As a newly out trans woman figures out how to build a new life and family, Texas passes a series of anti-trans laws. She dreams of moving to New York, but can she cut it there?

Murder-suicide in Vancouver, Washington: The man shot his wife, their two adult daughters, and his brother before killing himself. Clark County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home for a welfare check hours after the apparent shooter texted a relative that he’d hurt people inside the residence. The Columbian reports that deputies used a drone to peer inside the home and found several dead. Autopsies are pending and the shooting is still under investigation.
The US sets a record for mass shootings: On average, we see 24 mass killings with guns a year, defined as incidents where a shooter kills four or more people. The shooting in Vancouver, and another in Dallas, were the 37th and 38th mass shootings of the year. That’s the most since the AP, Northeastern University, and USA Today started keeping records of this senseless phenomenon in 2006. So far in 2023, 197 human beings have died this way.
Human remains identified with crowdfunding: The Seattle Police Foundation raised $15,000 for private genetic testing of body parts that washed up in Discovery Park over a period of weeks in 2017 and 2018, reports KING 5. They belonged to 33-year-old Paul J. Bossart Jr, a revelation to his family who hadn’t heard from him since the Seattle transplant left the house in 2017 never to be seen again; it’s still unclear how he ended up in the water. There is a growing trend of using private geneticists on cold cases. Don’t get me wrong, bringing closure to families is a good thing. The Clallam County Sheriff crowdfunded the tests that identified a foot found in the Elwha River as belonging to the missing Jerilyn Smith. But while state and federal regulations keep police from misusing criminal genetic databases, there are no such guardrails for civilian services. Personally, I’m also curious why there’s no room in the budget for something actually useful.
AP investigation reveals how Mormon church covered up child sex abuse: Normally if clergy uncover evidence of child sexual abuse, they’re required to report it to police. But the Church of Latter-day Saints protects abusers using something called clergy-penitent privilege. A child predator could spill all the details of their crimes to a bishop (an LDS equivalent to a priest or pastor) and not be allowed to testify in court without the abuser’s permission. Reporters also found a service the church claims it set up to help bishops understand reporting requirements actually functioned as a tool to cover up abuse. There’s more than I can blurb. It’s a nauseating must-read.
More video game workers unionizing: The games industry just grows and grows, especially in a year with bangers like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate 3. Despite an expected industry valuation of $185 billion, more than 8,000 workers lost their jobs in 2023. It’s not surprising the growing interest in organizing spread to this industry already known for wild crunch times, shit pay, and rampant sexual harassment. Polygon published this list of companies that have unionized or are going to.
Hackers break into Fred Hutch? The cancer center hasn’t said what got hit exactly but told its patients to monitor their bank statements and credit reports. It looks very ugly. As we all know, cancer is very expensive, and cancer patients, famously, don’t have a lot of extra money to spend. According to KUOW, the hack is being investigated as a federal crime.
Former top Tucker Carlson producer accused of sexual assault: Former Fox staffer Andrew Delancey claims that Justin Wells repeatedly grabbed his genitals at Wells’s apartment shortly after the network hired him in 2008 and that his superiors then persuaded him to not file a complaint. The civil suit, which accuses the company of negligence and Wells of assault and battery, was brought under the Adult Survivor’s Act. The law temporarily lifted the statute of limitations for sexual assault victims in New York. The window to file these cases just closed, but its supporters want to extend the deadline.
UW Medicine doctor allegedly inseminated his patient: Dr. Christopher Herndon agreed to surrender his license after a California woman alleged he swapped donor sperm with his own in 2009. The woman had requested the same donor she used for her first child, but when DNA testing revealed the children were not related, she signed her child up for an ancestry service. That’s where she discovered a DNA connection to Herndon’s sibling. UW Medicine is offering free genetic testing for Herndon’s intrauterine insemination patients at its reproductive care clinic but said there is currently no evidence of “impropriety” at UW.

@4: Ha! Nicely done. Yeah, they’ll get to it, right after they get done with their profile of a former Tiny House Villager who now pays full market rent, without assistance, in Seattle. (Preferably one who originally moved into the Tiny House Village from an encampment.)
Vivien, I really liked your “Forced Out” series. It’s interesting to read the lives of these people. I hope you can continue with the series, if you feel like it.
@11: He needs to understand the demands right now are not for “Palestinian freedom and peace,” but for stopping Israel’s attacks on a murderous, raping, thieving terrorist gang simply because that gang cowers behind Palestinian children in Gaza.
Granting Hamas the respite it wants serves only Hamas’ agenda, which is most definitely not one of “freedom and peace” for Palestinians (or anyone else).
I was going to post that Horatio Sanz would be a shoo-in to play Santos, but then I googled him 😞
Sort of an interesting freak incident, that jizz swapping doctor at UW. I went through many years of college, training, working at teaching hospitals and clinics alongside many, many MDs. One thing I can tell you with concrete certainty, even the nerdy medical students who could have auditioned for “The Hutchback of Notre Dame” never, ever had any problem naturally inseminating people they wanted to inseminate. So, I doubt this particular guy, who attended Yale and had a residency at Harvard, yearned for a child of his own that couldn’t have easily been begotten with a wife or a girlfriend or a very willing surrogate. He’s surrendered his medical license, which is a good thing, but I hope he finds help understanding why he would do such a thing and get that loose screw in his head tightened. It was a pretty mean thing to do aside from the ethical issues it violated.
Catholic Church – 2000 year old cult with lots of members, taking advantage of poverty, ignorance, and hope for something better; Southern Baptist Church – Protestant offshoot cult created to regularize slavery and to make the lower classes highly fearful of anything new and improved; LDS – Nineteenth Century cult created by a convicted con artist so that men could remain “godly” and still have a houseful of free twelve-to-forty-year old pussy. I’ll stop there, but you know I could go on for days.
@16: His straw-man whatabouting aside, it’s unclear as to what more the US could possibly do to help Ukraine, other than traipsing halfway around the world to get involved in a shooting war with a nuclear power.
(And we see again @17 how he simply will not assign blame for civilian deaths to Hamas’ long-standing and well-documented practice of using human shields, nor any understanding that if the IDF actually was engaging in indiscriminate revenge killings, the death toll in Gaza would be an order of magnitude larger than even Hamas says it is.)
@9 No one is dismissing the tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the impact on the people living there. There is push back on the narrative labeling this as genocide and war crimes. The blame for the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza as well as the brutal and horrific acts of Oct 7th lay solely at the feet of Hamas and its leadership. They have the ability to end this conflict at any time by releasing the hostages they are holding and recognizing Israel’s right to exist. It now appears they might have gamed the market to use this conflict to make themselves even richer: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hamas-attack-stocks-short-selling-october-7-study/
While the progressive leadership may not be advocating for the use of sexual violence they are not condemning it either.

@8 & 9: I heard on the BBC last night that the IDF is pumping seawater into the Hamas tunnel network. That seems like a pretty efficient way to disable them and doesn’t involve 2000 lb. bombs. no innocent Gazan children are in the tunnel network – but the male Israeli hostages probably are.

@32: It’s fun, watching the two different approaches to denying the realities of this conflict by our local terror apologists. kristo’ has decided Hamas’ atrocities simply don’t exist, and continues passing along every mention of human suffering, so long as it can be made to appear solely attributable to the IDF. Garb seems to understand that Hamas is the root of the current conflict, but has no idea what to do with that information, except to keep saying the IDF should stop attacking Hamas. Garb has picked up kristo’s trick of abusing the word “fascist,” and also, like kristo’, carefully refusing to apply it to Hamas, the organization in this conflict with the most fascistic traits.
In a like vein, it’s encouraging to watch more and more pushback against folks like Rep. Jayapal and U.N. Women for their most carefully not condemning Hamas for its intentional, brutal sex crimes against female victims. Maybe we can now start a conversation on what the international community can do to destroy Hamas, instead of just bashing Israel (and only Israel) for the horrors of this needless conflict.
Did anyone else catch that we have to crowdfund DNA testing for a body that washes up in an affluent city and wait years, yet UW is offering free genetic testing to scores of patients?
I would support any Democrat who challenged Capitulation Caucus Chair Jaypal in the next primary. Selling the Ukrainians and Israelis down the river…”for peace” is beyond forgivable. I’d even vote for a moderate GOP in the general at this point.
@42: The only ‘policy maker’ who’s posted here with any regularity is CM Sawant. Via internal documents leaked from Socialist Alternative, we know she faithfully follows orders from their Executive Committee, and no one else. (https://sccinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/US-Doc-4-letter-from-KS-to-EC.pdf) What the voters of District 3 want has never, ever mattered to her at all, so why would she care in the slightest what commenters write here?
@48: Building a working fission bomb from scratch required the United States to build two factory cities (Oak Ridge, TN and Hanford, WA) and Los Alamos, the latter employing a raft of current and future Nobel Prize winners. We also had to invent the digital electronic computer to crunch the engineering numbers. Weapons-grade material requires special equipment just to handle, and that’s actually the easy part. Getting the critical mass compacted perfectly would require the time and talents of a set of engineers, top machinists, and precision machine tools. The best terrorists might do would be a “dirty bomb,” spewing radioactive material across a few city blocks. While that would leave a real mess to clean up, the actual damage would come from the conventional explosives, employed in a failed attempt to compact a critical mass. (All of this is publicly available information, and has been for decades.)
@50: I was addressing the specific scenario @46, wherein Hamas acquires “lo[o]se and poorly secured enriched uranium floating around,” and then builds around it a bomb capable of creating a sustained fission reaction. It’s that latter part that is actually the engineering challenge I described.
Keeping already-manufactured bombs maintained and workable is an entirely different question.
from: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
There’s Nothing
You Can Say To Make Me
Accept The Murder Of Thousands Of Children
I promise there is nothing you can say to me that will cause me to cease opposing the murder of thousands of children in Gaza. There is no name you can call me, no accusation you can scream at me, no talking point you can regurgitate at me that will ever make me shut up and accept this.
The unexamined premise behind the frenetic push to reignite outrage over October 7 using rape allegations is that if Hamas fighters did sexually assault any Israeli women during the attack, then everyone has to shut up and let Israel keep murdering children by the thousands. This is self-evidently stupid.
Western and Israeli propagandists are going to keep trying to find new reasons for you to reignite your outrage over October 7, because October 7 is their side’s only justification for a months-long mass atrocity that is far, far worse than anything that happened on October 7
The US House of Representatives just passed a resolution saying that Judaism is synonymous with a colonialist ideology which routinely murders children.
I personally do not believe it’s anti-semitic to criticize Israel’s murderous actions in Gaza. See I have this wild idea that murdering children is not an aspect of the Jewish faith, and that saying otherwise actually has a very ugly history in our society.
The only way to have more sympathy for the 1200 Israelis killed on October 7 than the 16,000+ Palestinians who’ve been killed in Gaza since is to believe Palestinians are subhumans whose lives are worth a tiny fraction of what Israeli lives are worth. That’s the one and only way.

@53: Aaaand, right on cue, one of our resident apologists for terror quotes a leftist woman, angry not at the sadistic rapes of women by a violent misogynistic terror group, but at anyone who dares mention the sadistic rapes of women by a violent misogynistic terror group. She’d rather perform an elaborate, ‘adult’ version of the childish “nah nah fingers in ears CAN’T HEAR YOU!!” than even talk about the sadistic rapes of women by a violent misogynistic terror group.
By approvingly quoting her doing this, our local terror-apologist (correctly) recognizes her total moral superiority over him. The rest of us are appalled at the sight of a woman refusing to talk about the sadistic rapes of women by a violent misogynistic terror group.
Of course, the reason the rest of us talk now about the sadistic rapes of women by a violent misogynistic terror group s that self-described feminists and women’s advocacy groups have spent most of the past two months carefully avoiding the topic of the sadistic rapes of women by a violent misogynistic terror group.
Disney, Apple, Walmart, IBM, and others have all stopped advertising on X.
The Stranger, however keeps advertising by promoting X links in every story.
Are you not as woke as these companies? Or do you not care, despite all your “progressive” bloviating, that you are promoting a site that is actively disseminating hate speech and misinformation.
@54, @53: Aside from exposing, yet again, the bald hypocrisy of Rep. Jaylapal, UN Women, and whomever the heck Caitlin Johnstone is, there are several other reasons why continued outrage over sadistic rapes of women by a violent misogynistic terror group bothers them so much.
First, it shows their moral failure, borne of over-reliance on identity politics. Sympathy for victims of oppression should never, ever slide over into justification for ignoring rape. Johnstone &c. are now being forced to admit this has happened, and they don’t like having to make this admission.
Second, it reminds everyone of exactly who and what the IDF is fighting. This moves the dialog toward the world’s need to destroy Hamas, and what measures we need to assure Hamas’ destruction, and away from the IDF’s share of responsibility for the devastation in Gaza. (This latter, of course, is the only topic of interest for folks like Johnstone, as she herself just kindly reminded us.)
Third, it shows the emptiness of their rhetoric about Israel’s response to 10/7. If the purpose was “revenge,” then the IDF would be raping women in Gaza. It’s not doing this, and that it’s not doing this casts doubt on the rest of Johnstone &c. rhetoric about the IDF’s supposed “indiscriminate” campaign in Gaza.

@32: He means that persons familiar with the history of Israel know it was founded mostly by, and remains primarily inhabited by, Jews who were born in Palestine/Israel or other Middle Eastern lands. This fact contradicts the “Israel as imperialist/colonialist/settler mindset” which silently undergirds most of the ire at Israel shown here. Hence the difference in views. One is founded in fact, the other in a worldview which does not apply to this situation. He’s happy about this because he shares that inappropriate worldview, and wants it, not facts, to determine the outcome of public debate.

The Official Story Of October Seventh
The official story is that on October 7, 2023, thousands of evil Hamas terrorists broke out of their walled-in enclave and killed approximately 1,200 Israelis for no reason other than because they were evil and wanted to kill Jews.
Nothing was done by the Israeli government to provoke this attack, and nothing of any relevance happened prior to this date.
The attack was as undefended as could possibly be; Israeli defense forces did not respond for nine hours despite having received ample warning that an attack was coming for months, from both their own intelligence services and from Egyptian intelligence.
No attempt was made to warn the Nova music festival of an impending attack despite Israeli security forces being aware the day before that an attack was coming, resulting in hundreds of deaths and captured hostages.
The attack was met with so little resistance that Hamas themselves were reportedly surprised by how many Israelis they were able to capture and kill, their surprise perhaps due to the fact that they’d spent
two years training right out in the open less than a mile from the border for an air, sea and land attack using motorized paragliders, drones and motorboats. This is all perfectly normal and not suspicious at all.
Also not at all suspicious is the fact that 100 percent of the 1,200 Israeli deaths on October 7 are being attributed to Hamas despite Israeli media and eyewitness testimony reporting that the IDF was firing indiscriminately into areas full of Israelis.
The burned bodies you see in photos of the October 7 devastation were with absolute certainty burned by Hamas, despite the Israeli government’s acknowledgement
that it had previously misidentified hundreds of dead Hamas fighters as Israeli because they’d been so badly burned by IDF fire that their corpses were unrecognizable.
(The official story of October 7 also previously included narratives about beheaded babies, babies cooked in ovens, and babies ripped from the wombs of pregnant mothers,
and you were an evil Jew-hating Holocaust denier if you doubted them, but those narratives have since been walked back and are no longer part of the official story, so belief in them is now optional.)
The murder of 1,200 Israelis was so evil and egregious that it has warranted the killing of more than 16,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 7,000 children.
It will likely warrant the killing of far more, because Israeli lives are worth much, much more than Palestinian lives. Only a racist Nazi would believe that Palestinian lives matter.
Israel is not to blame for any of the killings in Gaza anyway, because Hamas is using civilians as human shields. It is anti-semitic to ask how Israel has managed to kill so many
human shields while killing astonishingly few Hamas fighters and dealing no meaningful damage to Hamas leadership in the process.
