Israel killed every single child in this photo in Lebanon.

Every. Single. One.

They were not combatants.

They were children.

“My young son, 7, is under the rubble. My 15-year-old daughter is still under the rubble. My whole family is gone. What have they done to you, Netanyahu?”

Palestinian father sobs with pain as he describes the bitterness of displacement.

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

"I wish they'd stop calling me a terrorist. That's what I wish. I wish they'd stop calling me a radical. None of these people are radical. They just want healthcare. They want to end American militarism. They want to spend money on roads, infrastructure, on schooling, on healthcare, rather than bombs overseas." HASAN IS SPITTING 🔥

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

An entire family KILLED by Israel.

3 little girls.

Israel decided they needed to be murdered.

ISRAEL DID THIS!

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.

It's terribly backward.

It's also counterproductive.

Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

A new study of more than 111,000 women ages 45 to 80 found those on GLP-1 medications had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer by about 30%. https://t.co/d88z6D6YBQ

Israel executed baby Sam today with a bullet to the face in the occupied West Bank.

They killed his mother too.

Sam was only 7 months old.

They murdered a mother. And her infant.

[Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 @jacksonhinkle]

ISRAEL DID THIS TO GAZA!

ZIONISM IS EVIL!

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Why doesn't the media talk about the DR of Congo?

We are deeply concerned by Ebola outbreak in Congo

Congo is bleeding, It has not ended over 5 million people are dead and millions especially 40,000 children are in labor camps and cobalt mines around the country

The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy

“The first thing anyone noticed in Theodosia was her smile. We’d always see her laughing.”

This Lebanese student was killed by Israel just after finishing her final exams. Theodosia Karam is one of over 3,500 people killed by Israel’s attacks on Lebanon since March.

[Muhammad Mazen @mhmd_s09]

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.

A video that the world must never forget.

[Mia ♡ @Nglmia_x]

I literally got screamed at today for saying you need to be able to read to go to college. Like, excuse me, what?! My 14-year-old cousin wants to go to college, which is great. The issue? She can barely read. Her parents "unschooled" her, which basically meant they never taught her anything unless she explicitly asked. And she never asked for reading lessons.
Her mom asked me what to do to prepare her. I was blunt: "Well, you do need to be able to read to go to college."
My cousin started crying, saying she's been embarrassed about it for ages. Her mom, though? She went nuclear on ME, calling me a bully for pointing out her daughter's shame.
Am I in the twilight zone? You need to write an essay just to get into college! I'm not the one who failed to teach her basic literacy for 14 years. Her feelings are valid, but her mom's anger? That's on them, not me.

[matrixbot @thematrixb0t]

Israel is doing to Lebanon what they did to Gaza…

A FATHER AND SON KILLED FOR WALKING HOME.

They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.

[Global Insight Journal @GlobalIJournal]

This was HEARTBREAKING

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:

"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING

Israel is now threatening to bomb the Christian Quarter in the city of Tyre, South Lebanon.

There are no military targets.

This is one of the oldest continuously inhabited Christian areas in southern Lebanon — over 2,000 years old.

Not a peep from Western governments

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

This is Miss Mary, a 93 old woman who works AMC theaters cleaning trash people leave behind. My heart hurt watching this. This is not the way it should be. 🥹💔
