Lebanon has been hit with one of the largest waves of Israeli airstrikes since the escalation began.
Civilians are bearing the brunt of these attacks.
Civilians are #NotATarget.
Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.
Nearly one in five people in Lebanon have been forced from their homes as Israel launches new ‘ground operations.’

This war is costing a billion dollars a day. In one fucking month we will spend more over there than we needed to save healthcare for more than 2 million Americans. They literally are taking away your food and your healthcare for this regime change war of choice.
📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has change of heart.
I’ll do it.
Immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid. The only time an immigrant receives any sort of coverage is if they have a medical emergency - like a heart attack.
Because of our EMTALA law, anyone presenting to an emergency must be treated, regardless of insurance coverage.
When people who do not have insurance go to the hospital for an emergency, the hospital social services will assist them in applying for temporary Medicaid so the treatment will be covered.
This doesn’t necessarily help the patient - they weren’t going to pay anyway. Who it benefits is the HOSPITAL.
If you take away federal Medicaid payments from hospitals who provide emergency treatment to immigrants, you are forcing those hospitals to provide the treatment for free.
This will cause hospitals all over the country to close, especially in rural areas where they are already struggling.
You want hospitals to close? Keep voting for Republicans.
Done.
