Ok a public trial for David Shor and Anita Dunn who built the entire campaign around winning anti Trump republicans, a constituency that consists of 48 people, half of whom work for the NYT and MSNBC

WSJ reports that the National Archives museum has removed references to Martin Luther King, Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control, because presenting American history honestly would make Republicans uncomfortable https://t.co/CznEIKHGMh

6 more medics were killed in #Lebanon today when #Israel’i forces targeted four different healthcare sites. 178 healthcare workers have now been killed. 279 injured. 246 ambulances attacked.
We talk about this election like it’s gonna stave off some kind of terrible decline and I think we don’t acknowledge how far gone we are already, and how the last election didn’t stave off much of anything
One of the soldiers killed this week was a settler. At his funeral, his brother said: "You went into Gaza for revenge. The most women, children, anyone you saw".
However, when the funeral was reported by Israeli media, that part of the obit was removed

Kirby one year ago today on Palestinian civilians killed: That’s what war is, it’s brutal, it’s ugly
Kirby on Ukrainian civilians killed: (chokes up) It’s hard to look at some of the images and imagine that any mature leader would do that…I think we can all speak to his depravity
Despite the horrors we’ve seen in Gaza over the last year, Kirby never got emotional or called Israel’s actions depraved. He’s spent the last year defending genocide because the victims are Palestinian and the perpetrator is Israel.
I feel like the easy way out is to always point to Trump and his position on this because every time Harris speaks on this situation, she’s always as craven and as insulting as possible.
a picture is worth a thousand words but this simple question and answer is worth a million. it really tells you everything you need to know about the current siege mentality of liberal Zionism in the West and (such as it exists in) Israel. every atrocity is permissible
Pretty incontrovertible argument via @nicolegelinas: Had NYC kept vehicles with 5 or more speed- or red-light tickets off the roads in 2022, as many as 26 lives could have been saved, out of the total of 142 lives lost, reducing the death toll by 18%. https://t.co/mIxO7eMgrF
I'm neither Muslim nor Arab, but I understand the genuine grief and anger of Arab-Americans and others who feel betrayed by the Biden/Harris management of Israel's war in Gaza. To see the scale of suffering, image after image of dead children, the constant stream of horrific videos of dead people who look like you, who could be you, and to recognize how little it seems to matter to anyone around you must be so jarring. Reading the comments of unsympathetic partisan Democrats here and below this good @shadihamid column just reinforces their case — that there is a massive empathy gap that enables the ongoing situation, more than a year after Oct. 7, and not voting or not voting Dem is their only way of challenging the status quo. https://t.co/BwjtNmgc41
🚨The Israeli military has just publicly accused 6 Al Jazeera journalists of being "terrorists" in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This is an assassination threat and an attempt to preemptively justify their murder.
💥Amit Segal, a local Tucker Carlson, says that despite Netanyahu's English-language denials, Israel is endeavoring to empty north Gaza of Gazans, and that if @realDonaldTrump wins the US election, "Israel will change the borders of Gaza." Both war crimes.
