International Court of Justice says Israel’s policies in the occupied Palestinian territory amounted to annexation. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that Israel’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful and that it should come to an end “as rapidly as possible”. Nawaf Salam, president of the ICJ in The Hague, read out the nonbinding advisory opinion on Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory on Friday.

Employees of the largest housing provider for unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S. have repeatedly sexually abused and harassed children in their care over the past eight years, the Justice Department alleges. Southwest Key employees, including supervisors, have raped, touched or solicited sex and nude images of children since at least 2015, the DOJ alleged in a lawsuit filed Wednesday. At least two employees have been charged since 2020, according to the lawsuit. Based in Austin, Southwest Key is the largest provider of housing for unaccompanied migrant children, operating under grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It has 29 child migrant shelters — 17 in Texas, 10 in Arizona and two in California — with room for 6,350 children. The company’s largest shelter in Brownsville has a capacity of 1,200. Health and Human Services reported 7,762 children at all of its contracted facilities on May 31, according to the most recent data on its website, which does not break the numbers down by shelter or provider. The department declined to say how many children were currently in Southwest Key’s Care or if the agency continues to assign children to its care.

Democrats in Michigan cut off a vulnerable House Democrat from a major part of campaign operations after she called last week for President Joe Biden to step down from the ticket. Officials reversed that decision Thursday, after facing questions from POLITICO. Rep. Hillary Scholten, a first-term Democrat who flipped a traditionally Republican seat in 2022, was booted last week from from a coordinated effort between the the Biden campaign and the state party to elect candidates up and down the ticket, according to four people with knowledge of the situation, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about private discussions. It happened soon after she called for Biden to step aside, those people said, which angered many Democrats behind the scenes. The Biden campaign was contacted by POLITICO Wednesday evening; Scholten was reinstated Thursday morning.

Devastating, back-to-back power outages have led some in Houston to consider whether they want to stay in the city they love. Driving around Houston, it can be hard to tell which of the storms that crashed through the city had mangled the highway billboards, torn out the fences or knocked down the trees still strewn along roadsides. Everyone knows how long it took to get their power back from the first big storm — and when they lost it again. A second round of spoiled food. Of sweltering temperatures. Of emergency plans. In many cases, of repairs to homes that were damaged in the major May storm had yet to be finished when Beryl arrived as a Category 1 hurricane. For some, it was too much.

South Korea's supreme court on Thursday upheld a ruling that a same-sex partner was eligible for spousal benefits from state health insurance, a move hailed as a win for LGBTQ rights in a country that has lagged others in the region.

Today Kim Kelly returns to write about two contrasting speeches by labor leaders this week: UAW President Shawn Fain at Netroots Nation and Teamsters President Sean O’Brien at the Republican National Convention... Some might say, well, what if Trump wins? Doesn’t it make sense to get on his good side, make friends with populist-ish Republicans, and try to use that to labor’s advantage? To that I would ask what is it like to float so blissfully through the world unburdened by the weight of reason or sense? To assume that Republicans will suddenly switch over to actually acting like the mythical pro-worker party they so desperately pretend to be is to assume that everything about the Republican Party – its leaders, its policies, its platform, its donor base, its overall goals – will completely change in a way that does not materially benefit them. Supporting workers and strengthening unions runs counter to the party’s entire political project of domination, subjugation, and white supremacy. They will not do that, especially if they’ve managed to seize power. Ah! you might say. But aren’t a lot of union members conservative? They’re going to vote for Trump, and they elected O’Brien to represent them. Don’t they deserve to see their own political views validated or at least acknowledged? The answer there is simple: no. It is not a union leader’s job to make a union member feel good about their voting choices. It is a union leader’s job to enforce their members’ rights as workers, to protect them, to support them, and to be an advocate and a warrior on their behalf and for the working class writ large. There are indeed many conservative union members; there are also many union members who are progressives, liberals, socialists, anarchists, and every other political identity under the sun. A proper union leader should represent all of them fairly, or at the absolute least, avoid actively showing support to a political project that seeks to crush, kill, and destroy vast swaths of their own membership. Here, O’Brien failed – and then failed again immediately after by publicly boosting a truly wretched op-ed by his new pal Hawley, a pale Ivy League grifter in ill-fitting workin’ man’s clothing, that blamed “DEI” and trans people for the death of American manufacturing (???).
