The far-right’s pretend fight against antisemitism is a perfect political strategy | Rachel Shabi
The far-right has found in its pretend fight against antisemitism a way to divide progressives while at the same time clobbering themThe detention of Columbia university student, Mahmoud Khalil, is unequivocally chilling. Khalil, who helped lead the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia university last year, was targeted for his politics. His unlawful arrest by the US immigration enforcement agency comes amidst relentless smears lobbed at protesters of Israel's war on Gaza. This McCarthyite abduction of a Palestinian Green Card holder is a trial balloon, a test of what society might tolerate and a threat of more to come. And the added horror-show twist to this assault on free speech is that it is being done in the name of Jewish people under the pretence of tackling antisemitism.Such egregious claims are easily refuted. Most American Jews didn't vote for Trump and don't back his crackdowns. As Amy Spitalnik of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, one of multiple Jewish groups opposing Khalili's detention, said: The Trump administration is exploiting real concerns about antisemitism to undercut democracy." Meanwhile, it is grotesque to pretend that Team Trump, home to antisemitic conspiracy theories, Nazi salutes and Holocaust denialism, is fighting antisemitism, rather than actively reproducing it.Rachel Shabi is the author of Not the Enemy - Israel's Jews from Arab Lands and Off-White: The Truth About Antisemitism Continue reading...

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was luckyThere was no explanation, no warning. One minute, I was in an immigration office talking to an officer about my work visa, which had been approved months before and allowed me, a Canadian, to work in the US. The next, I was told to put my hands against the wall, and patted down like a criminal before being sent to an Ice detention center without the chance to talk to a lawyer.I grew up in Whitehorse, Yukon, a small town in the northernmost part of Canada. I always knew I wanted to do something bigger with my life. I left home early and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where I built a career spanning multiple industries - acting in film and television, owning bars and restaurants, flipping condos and managing Airbnbs.

‘I have a baby’: how women in baseball are redefining work and motherhood
Often women who trailblazers in men's sports are lauded for their impact on the next generation. Within the Guardians' front office, that's a reality playing out right nowWendy Hoppel, the Cleveland Guardians' director of baseball administration, landed home in Ohio to see she had missed several calls from her social worker. She was returning from Major League Baseball's offseason meetings in New Orleans. It was 2003 and Hoppel had been learning about MLB's new software system.

At the time she was 42, had been divorced for three years, and wanted to be a mom. A friend of hers had gone through the adoption process. And it just hit me like, you know that that's what I want to do." Continue reading...
Imagine if all those who are silent about the terrible evil being committed in Gaza spoke up | Owen Jones
No crime in history has been so well documented by its victims. And yet inaction and censorship reignIsrael's genocide was only on pause: for Palestinians woken on Monday night by a vicious wave of airstrikes, the resumption was no less shocking. More than 400 people - many of them children - were slaughtered in a matter of hours, in an assault that reportedly received the green light" from Donald Trump. This mayhem was swiftly followed by evacuation orders - that is, forced displacement - raising the possibility of renewed ground operations. Israel's excuse? A confected claim that Hamas hasn't observed the terms of January's so-called ceasefire agreement - the terms of which Israel itself has broken over and over again.In the wake of the attacks, CNN reported that Israel's onslaught threw doubt on the fragile ceasefire". Orwellian doesn't even begin to describe such framing. As it is, there was no ceasefire": not if your definition is firing ceasing. A single Israeli has been reported to have died in Gaza during the ceasefire": a contractor killed by the Israeli army, who mistook him for a Palestinian. A reported 150 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza during this ceasefire", and dozens others butchered in the West Bank.Owen Jones is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

Federal judge blocks Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in US military – as it happened
This blog has now closed. You can read our story on the US judge's decision here.Donald Trump has called for the impeachment of the judge handling lawsuits over his administration's deportation of suspected Venezuelan gang members, a significant escalation of rightwing attacks on the judiciary.While allies of the president such as Elon Musk have repeatedly said judges who rule against him should be impeached, this appears to be the first time the president has backed such calls publicly. Trump's post on Truth Social does not name the judge, but seems to reference James Boasberg, the Washington DC-based justice who was appointed by Barack Obama and attempted to prevent the government from deporting the alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Here's what Trump wrote:This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President - He didn't WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn't WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn't WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN'T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I'm just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges' I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON'T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!People in our country illegally can self-deport the easy way, or they can get deported the hard way, and that's not pleasant. Continue reading...

The Guardian view on Israel breaking the ceasefire: destroying hope along with lives | Editorial
Benjamin Netanyahu is kept in place by an endless war, at a terrible cost to Palestinians and hostagesIn shattering the two-month ceasefire that had brought a fragile peace and relief to Gaza, Israel has also smashed the faint hopes that a resolution might just remain within reach. This was one of the deadliest days since the early months of the conflict, sparked by the lethal Hamas raid of 7 October 2023. Israel says it was attacking terror targets", but health authorities in Gaza say that 174 children and 89 women were among the more than 400 dead. Evacuation orders issued by the military suggest that a renewed ground offensive may be on its way for traumatised and repeatedly displaced Palestinians. Families of the remaining Israeli hostages are terrified and angry too, attacking the government for choosing to give up on them.Horror is piling upon horror. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed since the war began, and the numbers grew even during the ceasefire, many due to Israel's blocking of aid. The British foreign secretary, David Lammy, belatedly acknowledged that as a breach of international law on Monday - only for the prime minister's spokesperson to rebuke him. A UN report last week said that Israel's attacks on women's healthcare in Gaza amounted to genocidal acts", and that security forces had used sexual violence as a weapon of war to dominate and destroy the Palestinian people". A previous UN commission found that relentless and deliberate attacks" on medical personnel and facilities amounted to war crimes.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Andreeva continues to defy odds of the modern teenage tennis prodigy
Changes in WTA tour means the days of child stars are gone, which is why 17-year-old's achievements are so significantThere are only two teenage players currently in the top 100 of the WTA rankings. Women's tennis, in some ways, was built on the success of its legendary child prodigies - from Chris Evert and Monica Seles to Martina Hingis and the Williams sisters - players who audaciously stormed towards the top of the sport in their youth without fear or favour, demanding attention from the world.Those days are long gone. Between the improved depth, physicality and professionalism at the lower levels of the sport, possibly a more sparse talent pool and the WTA's age eligibility rules restricting the number of tournaments a child can contest, it is increasingly more difficult for female tennis players to flit up the rankings so early in their development.

For Palestinians, this was never a ceasefire | Dalia Hartuqa
Even before this brutal attack, Israel has acted with impunity - safe in the knowledge that yet again, its allies will do nothingIn less than 24 hours, heavy Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip has killed more than 4oo Palestinians, according to Palestinian health authorities, marking the end of a ceasefire that was announced in name only between Hamas and Israel on 15 January and took effect four days later. Even after months of negotiations led by the US, Qatar and Egypt, those observing Palestinian-Israeli affairs knew the ceasefire never really meant Israel ceased its fire on the besieged coastal territory.Between 22 January and 11 March, at least 700 Palestinians were either killed by the Israeli military or their bodies were retrieved from areas medics could not previously access, according to ministry of health in Gaza as reported by United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. In the past two months, Israel has also reneged on the terms of the truce, refusing to allow tents and trailers for people to seek shelter from the freezing cold that led to the death of several people, mainly babies, health officials say.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Sleepmaxxing: from red light to mouth taping and nasal dilators, do any of the viral trends work? | Antiviral
The TikTok generation has repackaged a perennial preoccupation and given it their own spinOf all the health and wellness content online, sleep is one topic we can't get enough of: when to do it, how much is optimal, what surface best makes for somnolent bliss, whether it's better done alone. Our obsession with getting enough shut-eye stems, I suspect, from the fact that so many of us feel tired all the time.Akin to their cursed revival of low-rise jeans, the TikTok generation have repackaged a perennial preoccupation and given it their own spin: sleepmaxxing.

She brought her younger daughter to San Francisco and, though undocumented, found work at a childcare facility and eventually married a US citizen.Because of extended delays in visa processing, her green card application remains in limbo after three years, but she's never been particularly afraid of her immigration status.

Donald Trump: the president making anywhere but America great again | Marina Hyde
The US stock market is spooked and his henchmogul's companies are floundering. Has the great dealmaker been building up ... the wrong nation?Naturally I assumed the feeling would pass, but one whole week after the US president turned the lawn of the White House into a crappy car dealership, I keep finding myself feeling ... optimistic. I know, I know. But if anything, I find myself feeling a little bit more optimistic every day - and sometimes a lot more. Not for America, which keeps electing him, but for the rest of the world. It really would take a heart of stone for governments from Beijing to Delhi to Warsaw to look at the clip of this old guy trying to sell his friend's electric cars and not think: Ooooooooh, that is very, very bad vibes. Still, it's good for us!"In China they have ironically nicknamed Trump the nation builder", meaning he is doing an incredible, bigly impressive job of bolstering the Chinese nation. Not to be disrespectful to that ancient golf bore holding the little piece of paper listing his car salesman talking points and gibbering everything is computer"... but can this guy even organise an oligarchy? He's certainly making his precious stock market run, stricken, in the direction of the nearest bathroom.Marina Hyde is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

Cameron Brink ‘icked out’ by response to Sparks’ request for male practice players
The 49ers have been a model of success. So why are they putting on a fire sale?
San Francisco have been in four of the last six NFC championships. But every NFL team must rebuild at some point for a future that could take a while to arriveAs unpalatable as it may be to fans, there are times when NFL teams must rejig their roster to cast off contracts which could get in the way of future success. The San Francisco 49ers, who have appeared in four of the last six NFC Championship games, and two of the last six Super Bowls, appear to be doing exactly that.While most other teams were trying to make themselves better in free agency when the league year began last week, the 49ers were having quite the fire sale. They had already traded receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders for a future fifth-round pick, but that was just the beginning. Continue reading...

Academic freedom in America needs to be defended. Here’s how | Jan-Werner Müller
To begin with, universities should not be intimidated by the claim that public opinion is turning against them. That's not necessarily trueLess than two months in office, the Trump administration has conclusively demonstrated two things: if it declares you an enemy, it will come after you; and when it comes after you, it will test the limits of legality.JD Vance already professed years ago that professors are the enemy in his view. And the president himself is encouraging his underlings to adopt the strategy familiar from his decades in business: do something illegal and see if anyone sues. It is crucial that university leaders see the measures taken against Columbia not as an isolated incident, but as a test for how far the education system can be subjugated. In other words, it is not an isolated problem for one place but a collective challenge that requires a collective response.Jan-Werner Muller is a Guardian US columnist and a professor of politics at Princeton University.
