Hey just so you know, on Saturday night, someone ripped the mezuzah off our door frame, tore out the prayer scroll, and chucked both down the hallway.

This stuff is happening to people you know and love. And if you’ve experienced it yourself, please know you’re not alone.

You'd think the NYPD could at least use some of their billions to buy a second saw from the hardware store...Someone clearly needs to tell them to fascist smarter, not harder

[Scott Heins @scottheins]

NYPD are using a saw to try and remove @nycDSA protesters. Zero EMS or ambulance is on site. This is so so dangerous, one slip and someone could die

Israel just intentionally destroyed press offices in Gaza, giving only one hour's warning. Associated Press President "horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy news organizations in Gaza."

In 1949, a Polish Holocaust survivor named Genya Kowalski was offered a Palestinian house in Haifa. She refused, saying: "I don’t want to live [in a house] of people who were thrown out...a human being is a human being.” We can be her heirs today https://t.co/LCLdCqwCRr

Sort of like King Leopold pledging to invest in prosthetics because he's sick of having to look at all the disfigured Congolese.
