Iowa City City Council agreed by consensus at its work session today to authorize the city manager to approach Johnson County about partnering together to acquire one joint city police station/county jail. The rationale was the existing police station is in a flood plain.
Biden stepped aside with a statement touting that he “overcame a once in a century pandemic”…. While sick with the virus he claims to have beaten.
800,000 Americans died of Covid during his Presidency - millions more were disabled.
Why does he think he beat it? 🧵/1
Every Fourth of July I think about what colonial militias did to Cherokees in the summer of 1776. They waited until it was too late in the growing season for our corn to be replanted, invaded Cherokee towns and burnt our crops to the ground. So that we would starve.

Tonight the @PghPolice handcuffed and detained a 14 year old child claiming that he was a missing child.
They picked a Black child off the street, decided he was the missing child, handcuffed him, and ignored the fact that his mom was on the phone telling them it wasn’t him.
One of the worst things Gaza has reached is that women are shaving their heads completely out of fear of insect-borne diseases, as the tents have become a haven for these insects. Our bodies have become a refuge for these insects as Israel strictly prohibits..+
So in summary: Biden refused to say he’d take a cognitive test, refused to say he would consider stepping down if key allies asked him to, said the polls are fake news, and that he wouldn’t fret if he lost as long as he tried his best. This is all Trumpian bullshit. Just madness.

She didn't ask for
If an 81 your old doctor who struggled to complete sentences looked down at me on the operating table and said he didn’t care if I lived or not as long as he tried his hardest and did his best, I’m not sure that would be comforting
When my life-saving medication is no longer covered by health insurance, my partner and I cannot go through with IVF, and our marriage is annulled by the Supreme Court, I'll be comforted knowing that he did his best and that's what it's all about
Nothing to see here, just Doctors Without Borders saying Israel rejected their aid truck and they haven’t been able to bring medical supplies into Gaza for over two months.
