The #DOJ requested that the justices put on hold Boston-based US District Judge Indira Talwani's order halting the admin's move to terminate the #immigration "parole" granted to the migrants under #Biden. The move is part of #Trump's hardline approach to immigration.

The dispute involves immigration "parole," a form of temporary permission under American #law to be in the #UnitedStates for "urgent #humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit."

And it comes laced with familiar #humanitarian confidence, as #BillGates & his team now believe that their central goals can be achieved in much shorter time. But it is also disconcertingly definitive: The #GatesFoundation will close its doors, permanently, on Dec. 31, 2045, at least several decades before originally intended. In the meantime, it will be spending down its endowment, as well as almost all of Gates’s remaining personal fortune.

More unbelievable #gaslighting:

#JDVance made the argument that #Trump is “a genuine humanitarian,” & said “he just wants the killing to stop.”

Right, the guy deporting #children with #cancer who are #UScitizens, sending #asylum seekers to #CECOT & now #Libya, separating #families, canceling #funding to combat #InfectiousDisease & to make heart pumps for #babies w/ heart defects, yeah he’s a real #humanitarian. Go fuck yourself JD.

“It’s time to launch the concluding moves,” #Netanyahu said the #military ofcls told him, adding that the new campaign would help bring home the #hostages still being held in #Gaza. The PM said he believes “we are not done. We are before the finish line.”

The #escalation followed >2 months in which #Israel continued to blockade & bombard the Gaza Strip as #ceasefire talks to free the remaining hostages ground to a near standstill. Israel has barred any #humanitarian #aid to Gaza….

My name is Takis Politis and I am a Professor at the University of Thessaly. I am in #Malta participating in the Freedom Flotilla. We were about to launch a #humanitarian #solidarity action to break the illegal blockade of the #Gaza Strip and bring humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, who are starving from the deliberate illegal ban on humanitarian aid imposed by #Israel.

Last night after midnight, a few hours before our boarding, our ship was hit by 2 drones in international waters near Malta. A fire broke out and the ship was severely damaged. There were 12 crew members and 6 activists on board at the time of the attack.

I appeal to that large part of Greek society that condemns the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people to pressure the Greek government to STOP all cooperation with Israel and to take all possible actions to help end this #genocide.

Instead, what exists now is a total #siege. For 60 days, #Israel’s authorities have blocked the entry of #humanitarian #aid & commercial goods in….That has left the already beleaguered residents of #Gaza in an even more miserable predicament. The #WorldFoodProgram said this week that its warehouses are empty & that bakeries & soup kitchens are rationing their last stocks. #UN experts say that #malnutrition rates are rising & that the prospect of a full-blown #famine is now all-too real.

Some elements of that office, including a bureau for #democracy & #HumanRights & one for #refugees, would be cut & *folded into* an office for foreign assistance & #humanitarian aid [the same one they folded #USAID into] acc/to the reorganization chart posted on the #State Department website.

The Bureau for #Humanitarian Assistance would absorb the remnants of the #USAID, which has been gutted over the last two months by #MarcoRubio & other members of the #Trump admin.

As for personnel, the memo said, the department needs to move from its “current outdated & disorganized generalist global rotation model to a smarter, strategic, regionally specialized career service framework to maximize expertise.”

It said it had saved exactly $318,310,328.30.

#Musk’s group has now triggered mass #firings across the government, & sharp cutbacks in #humanitarian #aid around the world. Musk has justified those disruptions with two promises: that the group would be transparent, & that it would achieve budget cuts that others called impossible.

Now, watching the group pare back its aims & puff up its progress, some of its allies have grown doubtful about both.
