Here's a news article synthesizing information from the provided sources:
Gaza author Jehad Abusalim discussed the future of Gaza on a recent episode of "UpFront," while the Department of Homeland Security has reportedly increased its use of subpoenas to unmask critics of ICE, and an Epstein survivor detailed her experiences of sexual assault. These stories, along with the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's emails and a venture capitalist's focus on overlooked founders, highlight a range of current events.
On "UpFront," Gaza author and policy analyst Jehad Abusalim spoke with Marc Lamont Hill about the Trump administration's "Board of Peace" and the lack of Palestinian representation in its leadership. According to Al Jazeera, the discussion focused on whether Palestinians would have a say in shaping their future, given the ongoing Israeli strikes and reconstruction plans. Abusalim's interview came more than a hundred days into Gaza's ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has been sending hundreds of subpoenas to tech companies, seeking to identify the owners of social media accounts critical of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to The New York Times, as reported by TechCrunch. This practice, previously used sparingly, has become increasingly common in recent months. Bloomberg reported on five cases where Homeland Security sought to identify owners of anonymous Instagram accounts, withdrawing the subpoenas after the owners sued. A Washington Post story also described the growing use of administrative subpoenas, which do not require a judge's approval, to target Americans.
In other news, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring shared her experience of being sexually assaulted. According to Sky News, the woman, who was trafficked from Cape Town to Epstein's private island and ranch, said her recruiters "laughed" as she was assaulted. She described the psychological bondage that kept victims ensnared for years, stating, "Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly."
The ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's emails continues to draw attention. The Verge reported that the garbled symbols, such as equals signs, found in many of the released emails are likely artifacts from a technical error, rather than a secret code.
In the business world, Stacy Brown-Philpot, former TaskRabbit CEO and Google veteran, is focusing on overlooked founders. According to TechCrunch, Brown-Philpot launched Cherryrock Capital a year ago to address the gap in access to capital for underinvested entrepreneurs building software companies at the crucial growth stage. "When I left TaskRabbit, I took some time off to figure out what was next and saw this gap in the market, which was access to capital, particularly for underinvested entrepreneurs," Brown-Philpot told TechCrunch.
