“I am a Holocaust survivor. I experienced as a child every single thing a Gazan child is experiencing on a daily basis. There’s no excuse 4 the slaughter of 15K children. I am proud to be here with you.”
Amazing Jewish solidarity at encampment at GWU #FreePalestine#Occupy4Gaza
Omg these amazingly patient kids were at a CA state government hearing for hours, then waited in line & gave testimony to support #ChildCare. For all they say, the future is bright, people.
💙Y'all, this is going to be the best 2 min of your day!! Watch these @ParentVoices_SF kids wait patiently in line & then give their public comment about #ChildCare slots!💙
Thank you @SenatorMenjivar for welcoming our youngest leaders to #CABudget Senate Subcommittee 3!
Are you one of the nearly 2 million families in CA eligible for subsidized child care, but don’t receive it? E-mail the Governor and demand he keep his promise to expand child care spaces so families can stop waiting for care! https://t.co/uzJgFWaxf2
Another Palestinian journalist in Gaza killed by Israel, Mohammed Abu Hattab and 11 members of his family were killed in Khan Younis, SOUTH of Gaza, where residents were told to flee too. This is his death being announced on TV. You don't need to understand Arabic, just watch.
An Israeli air strike has just hit the front gate of Al Shifa hospital in Gaza killing several Palestinians.
Another strike targeted a medical convoy of ambulances carrying critically injured ppl. More killed there.
Three of @GovTinaKotek's advisors have declined my requests for interviews (through her office). I'd hoped to talk with them about key education and environment issues in Oregon. Any other journalists being denied? Lack of access to public officials w/ so much power is worrying.
I can't wait to see all the mayoral candidates pour out 👀 and to anyone who says the mayor's powers are weakened in the new system you are WRONG. Focusing on a lack of veto or a seat on council is silly - the new form of govt gives them a LOT of oversight of ALL city operations.
