The Intercept: 

"Last May, in an assault on the occupied Gaza Strip, Israel deployed hundreds of bombs, missiles, and shells, killing over 240 Palestinians and wounding more than 1,900 others. More than half of the dead were civilians, according to the Israeli think tank Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, despite Israeli claims that it only targets combatants from Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups.

At the end of the 11-day assault, tens of thousands of Gazans were displaced from damaged homes, already struggling in a region with a 50 percent unemployment rate, toxic water, and crumbling infrastructure. Thousands of housing units, hundreds of schools, and 19 health care facilities were damaged.

Compounding the devastating toll on Palestinian civilians, weapons made and funded by the U.S. were used to destroy American humanitarian projects and businesses, documents and reporting reviewed by The Intercept show. The destruction reached multiple hospitals and water treatment facilities supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development; dozens of schools operated by the State Department-funded United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA; and a Coca-Cola plant built by a U.S. citizen.

-->The truth about Gaza is hard to avoid, unless you are a reader of the NYT, which didn't cover this story.

Common Dreams:
" 'Medicare is under threat today from the constant efforts of private insurance companies and for-profit investors who want to privatize it and turn it into yet another shameful opportunity to make money,' said Rep. Pramila Jayapal. ...

At issue is Direct Contracting, which is set to be renamed ACO REACH—an acronym for Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health—in 2023. As the campaign to protect traditional Medicare explains, the Direct Contracting scheme 'invites profit-seeking middlemen to manage care for seniors and people with disabilities, allowing companies to keep up to 40% of what they don't spend on care as overhead and profit.' ...

These profit-maximizing third parties have plans to completely take over Medicare by the end of the decade, but progressives are gearing up to fight back, as detailed during Monday's Protect Medicare event, organized by Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) and titled 'Turning Up the Heat on Direct Contracting and REACH.' "

-->This battle to save Medicare is not covered in our "newspaper of record," the NYT. The paper has always sided with Wall Street, which is drooling over the possibility of making billion dollar profits by denying seniors healthcare.

9 to 5 Mac:
"DuckDuckGo caught giving Microsoft permission for trackers despite strong privacy reputation. DuckDuckGo is known for its privacy-first commitment to users on iOS, Android, browsers, and soon with its own Mac app. Now, a report puts in check the company’s privacy focus due to a search agreement with Microsoft that let the Redmond company continue tracking users on the browser.

As reported by Bleeping Computer, security researcher Zach Edwards posted on Twitter that 'while DuckDuckGo blocks Google and Facebook trackers, it allowed Microsoft trackers to continue running.' The company explains that 'this issue is occurring on browsers and only pertains to non-DuckDuckGo websites.'

Tests showed that the browser allowed trackers related to Bing and LinkedIn domains while blocking all other trackers. Edwards’ thread got the attention of DuckDuckGO CEO Gabriel Weinberg, [who] said the browser intentionally allows Microsoft trackers third-party sites due to a search syndication agreement with Redmond.

-->So searches on DuckDuckGo aren't completely anonymous. You would think this story would be interesting for the NYT. But the NYT seldom does stories about big tech and privacy. Why antagonize their corporate dominated board of directors?
