Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

An update on Sami Hamdi,
1. Sami felt quite unwell today, and his requests for medical attention were initially turned down. After efforts by his lawyers and his family, he finally received medical help at the detention facility. Some brothers visited him just now, and they said he looked better, alhamdulillah.
2. Sami’s lawyers have successfully received a federal court ruling that prevents the administration from moving him to a far-off state within the US. Crucially, they recognised, there are ‘serious questions’ about whether the government illegally detained Sami to curtail his right to free speech.
As it stands, Sami's immigration hearing before a judge will be on 10 November.
@DanielLurie@MattMahanSJ@BarbaraLee_CA Daniel Lurie, Sami Hamdi’s ICE detention at SFO constitutes egregious suppression of press freedoms, a leadership imperative. Demand urgent diplomatic engagement for release. San Francisco’s commitment to justice demands confronting political repression.
@UKin_SF@salesforce@biztradegovukNA .@UKin_SF CG Eleanor Kiloh, the detention of British citizen Sami Hamdi by US immigration for voicing concerns about the Gaza situation is unacceptable. Immediate diplomatic action is required for his release. Upholding freedom of expression and safety is essential!
After sending ZERO blitzes in the Super Bowl, Vic Fangio used blitzes to close scramble lanes and challenge the Chiefs in Week 2
Here is how Fangio's different approach forced Patrick Mahomes to be 3/10 with a sack and an interception against the blitz
Breaking down everything about the long Tyquan Thornton touchdown:
*What was the coverage?
*What was the check?
*Was anyone out of position?
*Who is getting the first coaching point?
Here is how I saw it based on Fangio's structures and a play from earlier in the game ⬇️
They want you to be talking about a Sydney Sweeney ad and a restaurant logo weeks after they gave billionaires a trillion dollar tax cut paid for by ripping away health care from you and your family.
And somehow, everyone's just going along with it.
The Qur’an exposed the Number 1 mental health killer before psychology did.
1400 years before therapy was a trend, Allah diagnosed the root of most anxiety and depression! Subhan Allah.
2025 QB goals
Mahomes: just win
Allen: just win
Lamar: just win
Burrow: just win
Hurts: win but don't run so much & the tush push isn't fair. Throw more even if it's strategically illogical but don't throw to the WR's because they're too good. Don't use Saquon & block a punt.
