Israeli forces launched fresh attacks on the Gaza Strip Monday, killing at least two people in a drone strike on the southern city of Rafah. Relatives who gathered to mourn the dead condemned Israel for once again violating its ceasefire agreement in Gaza. Najah al-Shaer: “How do they say there is a truce? Where is the truce while they are killing people? He went to see his house next to al-Amina station, and they killed him.” Separately on Monday, an Israeli helicopter attack in Khan Younis left three Palestinians injured. Israel’s latest ceasefire violations came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reimposed a total blockade on Gaza, hours after the first phase of the ceasefire deal expired. Palestinian officials condemned the renewed siege, saying the use of starvation as a tool of war is a serious violation of international humanitarian law. The cutoff of aid drew condemnation across the Arab world and from countries including Canada, Germany, Spain and Turkey. On Monday, the U.S. State Department said Trump’s Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff is headed to the region to broker an extension to the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal or to advance to the second phase.
Fresh protests erupted around Washington, D.C., on Monday condemning Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s deep cuts to the federal workforce. In Silver Spring, Maryland, hundreds of people rallied in front of the offices of NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, days after the Trump administration laid off 650 NOAA workers nationwide. This is Mike Tidwell, director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. Mike Tidwell: “I’m here with about a thousand people, at least, demanding that all dismissed workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration be reinstated immediately and no further cuts are made. NOAA is critical to safe seafood that we eat to weather forecasts involving dangerous hurricanes, a million different ways NOAA is a critical part of our lives, and we need to keep this agency strong.” Over 1,000 people protested the NOAA layoffs in Boulder, Colorado, as well.
The cover for our forthcoming graphic novel, THE SPACE CAT (from First Second Books, August 12, 2025).
This is a book for ALL AGES (ignore the categorization forced on it). I wrote it *for* adults (because adults deserve to have fun ,whimsical, colorful tales to enjoy, too!), and kids will also dig it.
It's a book you can read with and to your cat or dog...and parrots, owls and chameleons will enjoy it, too.
Preemptive comment: NO relation to Space Cat by Ruthven Todd or whatever else.
President Trump threatens students with imprisonment for participating in "illegal protests" on campus, without citing any legal authority. This move targets protests against his policies and Palestinian rights demonstrations. What does "illegal" really mean? #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech
Until Thursday afternoon, Hanna Miller focused on protecting whales from oil spills, ship strikes, and fishing gear. While on vacation in Hawaii, the federal biologist opened her work email on her personal phone to find she no longer had a job.
