"What are you talking about right now... you're in the government??"
Adam Friedland challenges Ritchie Torres's bizarre attempts to justify his unwavering support for Israel.
This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
she insists we all chose to be here, that we signed a contract with life and are terrifyingly in charge of our experience. i catch glimpses of this but it’s slippery. though i missed my chance to give birth i rejoice knowing that even on razed earth new growth is always possible
Bernie Sanders in statement issued as Harris is about to give her concession speech:
"It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them."
I understand the critiques of the “joy campaign” — and yeah, there should have been more, but… emotions are not a weakness. feeling warmth and hope and pride and fighting for each other is not for nothing.
so it goes. one day.
