I am a single issue voter anymore. If you support Israel in literally any way shape or form I will not vote for you. I do not care about literally anything else anymore. How can anyone see this and ignore it.

[Jenin Younes @JeninYounesEsq]

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.

It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.

ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.

Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.

I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

It's probably a good time to familiarize yourself with Nayirah because you're going to be seeing more of this very soon

Do you know how fucked a nation’s actions have to be to make Cillian Murphy make a public appearance

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Of the 6 journalists Israel listed to kill:

Two murdered. Two wounded. And it goes on.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

The Israelis have murdered Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif. The fucking bastards. I’m sorry but I’m enraged. They’d been threatening this for a while. Anas was so courageous and brought a special emotion and depth to his reports. He was our eyes. And that’s why they killed him.

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

This child is journalist Anas Al-Sharif during Israel’s 2008–2009 bombing of Gaza.

At the time, he was just a boy watching reporters in action, dreaming of one day becoming one himself.

He grew up without comfort or privilege, only in the harsh reality faced by every Palestinian child living under the Israeli occupation.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws]

This is Sham, Journalist Anas Al-Sharif’s daughter, she pleaded with the world months ago to stop the war, saying, "I'm afraid for my dad because of the bombing".

Today Israel deliberately assassinated her father.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

The names of the five Al Jazeera journalists assassinated by Israel in a strike on their tent in Gaza on Sunday night:

• Anas Al Sharif
• Mohammed Qreiqea
• Ibrahim Zaher
• Mohammed Noufal
• Moamen Aliwa

[Veronica @verobellin]

Israel murdered Palestinian journalist Anas al Sharif. I remember this video, with Anas exhausted bc of hunger and pain of witnessing almost two years of genocide, and the people telling him to keep going because he was their voice.

[Eman Basher @SometimesPooh]

What infuriates me is this ritual we’ve developed: this desperate scramble to exhume the last thing they posted on Facebook, the video they took yesterday while feeding a stray cat, a clip of them playing with their kids every time someone is killed in Gaza. As if the loss doesn’t register unless we can offer the world a final, palatable proof that he was, in fact, human. That he smiled. That he loved. That he lived gently enough to deserve not being bombed. And it enrages me, because he was human when he stood in line for bread. He was human when the drones circled overhead. He was human even if he left no final photo behind. Why must we keep auditioning for empathy? Why must the murdered keep submitting evidence for a humanity they were stripped of in life and mourned only in death?

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

I can't see how the BBC will ever recover from its headlong leap into this ethical void, all in the name of not upsetting the perpetrators of the most horrific genocide since the end of the 2nd World War.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

I’ve just completed a family tree of my relatives who were all killed in a single Israeli airstrike on October 13, 2023. It reveals that three entire families were wiped out, including my first cousin, Tahrir.

My goal isn’t only to honor each of them, but also to challenge the myth behind the casualty ratios Israel boasts about. This is not to suggest that the adult males were combatants—but even if you assumed they were, look at this:

Out of the 30 relatives killed, 18 were children, 5 were mothers, one was an unmarried young woman, and one was a 68-year-old elderly man.

That’s 24 civilians, without any stretch of definition.
That means 80% of those Israel slaughtered were clearly civilians.
And if I may add one final detail: the husband of my first cousin—41-year-old Mujahed—was disabled and confined to a wheelchair.

Random tidbit that ruined my millennial nostalgia for Backstreet Boys & especially my love for “I want it that way” is finding a clip of them singing “I want it Israel’s way” #millenialmisery #FreePalestine

"Too loud, too reckless, too ghetto"

"Uncle Sam" representing those who tell the Black community how to behave. The dancers forming a disconnected American flag.

The imagery. The cultural significance & relevance. An absolute work of art here.
