@JDVance Considering the Haitian migrants brought an economic revitalization to Springfield- previously the “unhappiest city in America”, it’s really irresponsible to peddle these despicable lies.
Strongly recommend this interview:
Two elementary schools were forced to evacuate after receiving threats today in Springfield, Ohio. On Thursday, another middle school was closed.
This comes as Trump (and other Republicans) continue spreading racist dehumanizing lies about Haitian immigrants in that community stealing and killing neighborhood pets.
Haitian families, who have been instrumental in ushering in an economic revitalization of the city, are speaking about leaving the town entirely, fearing continued threats & harassment.
Jake Johnston, author of the book "Aid State” - a critical examination of US aid industry's impact on Haiti's sovereignty and development, was interviewed by Majority Report. In the clips below he provides crucial context to better understand the current situation in Springfield, Ohio, and the US' broader historical relationship with Haitian migrants.

In case you missed it, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were given an opportunity to explain how they would “break through the stalemate” and broker a deal between Netanyahu & Hamas that would end the war and brings home Israel’s hostages.
Let’s go through Kamala’s response
🔴PALESTINE, SEPT. 8, 2024🔴
Here’s what happened today: 🧵
- Israeli attacks on Gaza Strip killed 33 Palestinians and wounded 145 others over the latest 24-hour reporting period.
- An overnight attack in the Jabalia refugee camp killed the deputy director of Gaza’s civil defense along with 5 family members of Morsi family.
- Israeli warplanes struck a residential tower and several houses in Khan Younis killing a mother and her daughter. Israeli quadcopters have reportedly been firing at Palestinians in Al-Mawasi safe zone throughout the day.
- Focus of fighting today was in north, particularly Zeitoun & Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City where 4 Palestinians were confirmed killed.
- A child was killed, and several others wounded, when the Israeli army bombed a house in the Tuffah neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City.
- Gaza’s communications provider, Paltel, reported blackout of home internet and mobile services in central & southern Gaza due to destruction of transmission towers by the Israeli army.
- An attack at the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge on the border between the occupied West Bank and Jordan killed three Israeli security guards.
- Israeli raids continue in the West Bank as IDF bulldozers stormed Tulkarem and Balata. One Palestinian was killed near Hebron after an alleged car ramming attempt at an Israeli checkpoint.
- More than 2/3 of Gaza’s 640,000 children under 10 have now received the first dose of the polio vaccine but UN is yet to enter the north.
ALL EYES ON THE WEST BANK‼️
In a recent article, @jeremyscahill wrote “attacks on the West Bank could prove the spark that leads to a Third Intifada. History may show it has already begun.”
In this short 🧵 I’ll list some of the absolutely horrifying things that have happened in Jenin - a city in north of West Bank, in just the last 7 days of Israel laying siege to it while conducting the largest military operation there since 2002.
Before we go there, understand 3 key facts:
1. The International Court of Justice has ruled Israel is illegally occupying the West Bank.
2. Israel has no legal rights to collectively punish and starve a whole city full of civilians.
3. Palestinians in the West Bank have a legal right to armed resistance
Ok, start by listening to this summary on @BreakingPointsN by Jeremy Scahill.
🎬ESSENTIAL VIEWING
What would a Trump presidency mean for Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza? The @majorityfm crew delved into it all, including a close look at @DavidM_Friedman - Trump’s prev. Ambassador to Israel.
(In addition to $100M in Adelson campaign funds for a promise of backing Israel’s annexation of the West Bank)
Two ordinary Israelis using their podcast to chat about how they and almost every other Israeli would press a button without a moment's hesitation to exterminate every Palestinian.
I lived there 20 years. I can attest: these guys are the Israeli mainstream.
𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛:
Israel has prevented the entry of soap into Gaza for months, causing widespread infection. According to WHO nearly 2 million people are infected with preventable diseases. Soap would bring down the spread by 40%
Who does this?
✊🏼👍🏼 @EmmaVigeland staying true.

(You can listen to what Hamas said in full in their interview earlier tonight in post linked below.)
@BGrueskin@ryangrim@haaretzcom Well we don’t really know at all if it was “Hamas terrorists” who pulled the trigger. Far far more likely it was Israel themselves . Need an independent investigation
