My core body temperature runs at 97.1 to 97.9 degrees.

This is lower than I had always heard normal human body temperature being 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

What does this indicate?

Hmm....interesting.

About 1,000 people at the ICE Out of Dublin rally today in Dublin, CA. We're organizing to make sure no ICE jail opens in NorCal.

So far, the Bay Area has seen less ICE activity in part because there's no ICE jail in Northern California - the community organized to shut down other ones in previous years. Let's keep it that way.

The focus of the effort is a former federal prison in Dublin which ICE has signaled interest in using. At today's rally, the call to action was to make sure that it does not reopen, and instead that it be demolished and the site used for other purposes.

Located on the east side of Dublin, this facility is next to a neighborhood of new townhouses and apartments where most residents are recent Asian American immigrants. Given ICE's record of going after people near their jails to save time, this would be a huge threat to the community.

PFLP: The EU is Complicit in the Crime of Starvation Against our People in Gaza

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine warns of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe in the coming hours, during which we may witness mass deaths among the most vulnerable groups, especially children, the sick, and the elderly.

This is in light of the dangerous deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, as a result of the escalating aggression and the continued systematic starvation policy practiced by the Zionist occupation, amid American partnership, international silence, and blatant complicity on the part of the European Union.

We hold the European Union politically and morally responsible for the worsening famine, as it is a partner in the crime of starvation perpetrated against our people through its inaction and providing diplomatic cover for the occupation.

We call on the countries of the European Union to stop their policy of camouflage and manipulation of public opinion, and to abandon their blatant bias toward the occupation. Despite escalating warnings about the threat of famine and the use of food as a weapon against more than two million besieged Palestinians, the European Union has chosen to cover up the occupation’s crimes through false diplomatic promises that have not translated into any tangible steps.

The recent bargaining between some EU countries and the occupation’s foreign minister clearly reflects the EU’s policy of deception and complicity. We call on international and human rights organizations to intensify pressure on the European Union and the international community to shoulder their moral and humanitarian responsibilities, abandon complicity and silence, and seriously apply pressure on the occupation to halt the systematic starvation of our people.

Our steadfast people in Gaza do not need empty rhetoric, but rather bold political positions that halt the war of comprehensive extermination, foremost among which is the immediate lifting of the blockade and holding the occupation accountable for its crimes against humanity.

Gaza Resistance Releases Footage of Operations in Jabalia, Shujaiyya

The al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ armed wing, shared footage on Saturday of their attacks on Zionist occupation forces and military vehicles in Jabalia, located in northern Gaza, explaining that this operation falls under their ongoing “David’s Stones” campaign.

In a separate statement, the al-Qassam Brigades reported that its fighters, upon returning from combat, confirmed the targeting of an Israeli military D9 bulldozer with a high-explosive landmine near the Erbakan school in Jabalia on July 14, 2025.

On July 16, the al-Qassam fighters targeted a Merkava tank with a high-explosive landmine near the Namaa Club in Jabalia, and in the same area, they struck another tank using an al-Yassin 105 shell.

Al-Quds Brigades destroy Zionist vehicle

On its part, the al-Quds Brigades released footage showing the destruction of a Zionist military vehicle using a high-explosive bomb in the eastern al-Shujaiyya neighborhood in Gaza City.

In Khan Younis, fighters from the al-Quds Brigades successfully targeted a military bulldozer with a side-placed explosive in the Abu Hadaf area, northeast of the city.

Also in Khan Younis, fighters from the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades confirmed upon returning from the frontlines that they had destroyed a military vehicle by detonating a pre-planted explosive near Street 5 in the northern part of the city on July 12, 2025.

Abu Obeida sends a stern warning to the occupation

In this context, the al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida stated in a video address on Friday that the Palestinian Resistance’s current strategy focuses on inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy while actively pursuing the capture of Zionist soldiers.

Abu Obeida noted that al-Qassam’s fighters “are surprising the enemy with new tactics and methods, having learned lessons from the longest war and confrontation in the history of the Palestinian people,”

He cautioned the Zionist government that persisting with the conflict would mean resigning itself to a continued stream of fallen soldiers and officers returning in coffins.

Dignity as Leverage: A Counterframework for Palestinian Prisoner Negotiations

The U.S.-Israeli approach to negotiations with Palestinians remains fundamentally misaligned with justice and human dignity. While Israeli hostages are publicly mourned and framed as victims, Palestinian prisoners are treated as threats — statistics to be managed, not lives to be honored.

In this asymmetrical terrain, U.S. mediation reinforces Israeli security narratives, ignoring systemic abuses: rearrests, torture, indefinite detention, and the criminalization of Palestinian grief and solidarity. Incarceration becomes not a tool of justice but of demographic warfare.

Yet even within this environment, Palestinian resistance reframes captivity — not as defeat but as defiance. Through hunger strikes, courtroom refusal, and the ethic of sumoud (resilience), prisoners have transformed their bodies into frameworks of refusal. This is not passive survival — it is political agency. As PFLP’s prisoner Ahmad Sa’adat declares, “Our imprisonment is not the end of our struggle — we are the conscience of a people who refuse to be erased.”

This counterframework refuses to engage through the language of victimhood alone. It posits prisoners as political subjects — architects of strategy, not merely its symbols. Their bodies become texts of resistance, declaring humanity through suffering wielded deliberately. The ethical foundation of this model begins not with what must be demanded, but what must be refused.

Refusal is not obstinacy — it is strategy. The counterframework rejects hostage diplomacy staged as deterrent theater, denounces militarized humanitarianism where aid becomes surveillance, and repels the symbolic erasure encoded in practices like anonymous burial and re-arrest. These acts strip captives of memory and dignity in an effort to unwrite them from the historical record.

The refusal is deliberate, layered, and unyielding. Hamas and allied factions have responded to Trump’s proposed prisoner exchange and ceasefire deal with a spirit of negotiation — but not submission. They understand the logic underpinning the dominant framework: Israel retains military leverage while discarding the burdens of governance; it aims to dismantle Hamas while presenting itself as a rational actor in a “peace process.”

The asymmetry is clear: the framework is not peace — it’s containment.

In submitting counterproposals, Hamas and allied factions reframed the negotiation. Their demands reject tactical pacification and assert structural conditions for any progress. Chief among these is the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Though the upfront demand for ending the war has been softened, the insistence on written guarantees — specifically for troop retreat and uninterrupted ceasefire negotiations — signals the emergence of a political safeguard.

The notes of Hamas and allied factions further call for international oversight — preferably under UN administration — and removal of U.S.-Israeli control over aid and surveillance. Hamas and its allies understand the risks of leaving mediation tools in the hands of those invested in their containment. The counterframework demands mediation not as diplomatic theater, but as structural protection.

These positions reorient the entire frame of the negotiation. The factions are no longer reacting to Israeli terms — they’re building a system where justice isn’t deferred to humanitarian appeals but embedded in strategic architecture.
U.S. Framework vs. Palestinian Counterframework: How oppression tries to outlast resistance
Palestinian factions, far from being reactive, now hold key cards:

– Operational Leverage: Remaining Israeli captives are not just bargaining chips — they are Israel’s strongest incentive to negotiate. The factions control the timeline and rhythm.

– Political Unity: A unified front among factions strengthens their legitimacy, undercutting narratives of fragmentation and allowing them to act with moral coherence.

– Narrative Authority: By framing the negotiation as one centered on sovereignty, protection, and justice — not mere exchange — they control the moral terrain.

This leverage does not simply stall Israeli ambition — it redefines the negotiation itself.

As one analyst recently put it, “Hamas isn’t playing with borrowed cards — it’s designing its own deck.” And as Fateh’s prisoner Marwan Barghouti stated, “Resistance is a holy right for the Palestinian people to face the Israeli occupation. Nobody should forget that the Palestinian people negotiated for 10 years and accepted difficult and humiliating agreements, and in the end didn’t get anything except authority over the people, and no authority over land, or sovereignty.” Here, he is not just reflecting on past failures, but insisting that dignity and sovereignty must anchor any negotiation and reframing what legitimacy looks like.

If Netanyahu responds true to form, several patterns will likely emerge:

– Delay Tactics: Publicly, negotiations will slow under the guise of security reviews and logistical constraints — buys time, hopes to fracture Palestinian unity.

– Defiance Masked by Concession: Netanyahu may appear hawkish to domestic audiences while quietly engaging mediators to preserve diplomatic cover.

– Displacement of Blame: He’ll lean on U.S. mediation to obscure accountability, portraying Israeli rigidity as consequence of “external constraints.”

But the terrain has shifted. Public sympathy, diplomatic fatigue, and the irreducibility of Palestinian refusal may disrupt his playbook.

If Netanyahu overplays his hand, dragging negotiations without movement, he risks pushing factions from tactical flexibility to strategic closure, i.e., the withdrawal of participation as a strategic response to a framework that undermines justice from the start.

The counterframework insisted upon by Hamas and allied factions isn’t designed to win negotiations — it’s meant to transcend them. Its logic is liberatory, not procedural. Ceasefires must not merely pause violence — they must erode the legitimacy of systems that reproduce it.

This means restoration of collective dignity as the barometer of success — not appeasement metrics, and the insistence on international oversight divorced from occupation logics and recognition of Palestinians as strategic participants in shaping political outcomes.

To the extent that prisoner exchanges and ceasefires are real, they must reflect the architecture built by prisoners themselves — the cost borne, the unity forged, the refusals sustained.

Resistance, in this frame, is not reactive. It is architectural.
