I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Wissam. Wissam was a dentist before this, he lost his home and his clinic. A few weeks ago his brother Aziz, a journalist, was killed by an air strike. Wassim is taking care of his nieces and nephews now Elen, 5, Ahmed and Fedaa, 3

It's truly sickening how eager our leaders are to celebrate the murder of innocents. Nothing reveals their fundamental moral depravity more than these moments when their masks drop and they bathe in the suffering of those they consider subhuman.

Not really surprised some people are defending the indefensible today. After two years they’ve had a lot of practice

Some folks clearly would be happy to have the Shah's progeny still running Iran. Just think how different things might have been if we hadn't overthrown Mosaddegh and propped up the vile Pahlavi regime. But no, it's easier just to assume everyone hates us (and our proxies) for all our freedoms.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Trump cancels deal on 4 Snake River dams--putting tribes in charge of salmon recovery, seeking alternative energy sources--that Biden negotiated in 2023 to end 30+ yrs of litigation, uncertainty, and cost. The odds of this not plunging the region back into the morass that everyone hates seem tiny.

Of all the lies the Zionists tell, the biggest may be that the existence of Israel is vital for Jewish safety. My family has been safe in this pluralistic democracy for 130 years while succeeding generations of Zionists have made Palestine a graveyard for Jews and Palestinians alike.

It's unsurprising to see evangelical fanatics like Mike Huckabee cheering on the possible self-destruction of Israel, but it's bizarre to see their government willfully courting it.

NEW—A US contractor with inside look at the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.” Some contractors never deployed before—or are ex-cops. None are confirmed as trained for the guns they were given. They saw the IDF targeting Palestinians. “This idea that the Israeli military isn't involved is bullshit.”

Florida welfare authorities have turned over a 17-year-old foster child to ICE. He has already been separated from his mother, who was deported. He may have been the victim of labor trafficking. Yet, he was taken from his foster home in shackles. A minor. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Hello friends and comrades! I have something special to share with you; it's my friend Alaa's story, in comic form. I'll let it speak for itself, but please share this thread. Alaa is crowdfunding for survival. You can help: chuffed.org/project/1252...

I crash and I burn Maybe some day you'll learn I stumble and fall Baby I do it all I'm only human on the inside

“Kayaking is a very cool part of this, but the first descent isn’t about the kayaks,” said 16-year-old Hoopa tribal member and Paddle Tribal Waters participant Julian Rogers. “It’s about the century-long battle that my people have been fighting and is the start of a new beginning.”

My lord

Lol what a ridiculous take. Zack have you ever considered that hagiographia is actually one of the fatal flaws of the Democratic coalition?

Live your life in such a way that your family doesn't sanction your immediate liquidation.

'Abu Shabab’s links with Israeli forces were confirmed by his family, which issued a statement last week formally disowning him. “We will not accept Yasser’s return to the family. We have no objection to those around him liquidating him immediately,” they said.'

"This year’s convention will be asked to approve resolutions lamenting “willful childlessness” and calling for bans on same-sex marriage and pornography and restrictions on sports betting." If that isn't a Bluesky tag yourself I don't know what is.

Israel has killed 6 Palestinian journalist in June, in May Israel killed 12 Palestinian journalists, in April #Israel killed 6 Palestinian journalists. Shooting of a Australian journalist with a rubbet bullet in LA has gotten more attention in the West than these 24 murders of journalists combined.
