Given the dumpster fire of far-right nonsense and disease-brain this platform has become, I am ceasing to monitor this account. My work account - @disinformediain - will remain active for the time being. Otherwise, find me by the itrobertson handle where the Sky is Blue.

Mohammed Abu Mughaisib, deputy medical coordinator for Doctors Without Borders in Gaza, told The Post that workers at Al-Nasr Hospital had to leave babies in incubators behind as they evacuated yesterday when it was overtaken by Israeli forces: https://t.co/1Jsc0fA5rk

#BREAKING: Israeli cabinet told that up to 1,700,000 Gazans (out of a total population of 2.2 million) are no longer able to live in their own homes, either because they've been displaced or because their homes have been destroyed/damaged.

The UN says nearly seven million people are now internally displaced within the Democratic Republic of Congo due to escalating violence.
According to the UN, the DRC is facing one of the world's biggest displacement and humanitarian crises. https://t.co/kvR4jg7itm

For over a decade, Rutherford County, Tenn. was arresting and jailing kids for even the most minor offenses.

A boy accused of stealing a football jersey–jailed
A girl accused of pulling someone’s hair–jailed
A girl trying to use a blank check at a school book fair–jailed

You might be hearing analysts compare the Israel assault on Gaza to the US-led coalition assault on Mosul to clear ISIS in 2016-2017 or Falluja in 2004. I’ve been in both those battles for extended periods of time & I’ve covered their aftermath.

This is wild: less than a year ago the Washington Post's style was to call it a "15-week abortion ban." Now that the GOP is working the refs on the language, they've retreated to calling it a "limit" that "Democrats call a ban"

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

For decades the GOP ran ads in purple distrcits about Pelosi & SF values. They are about to experience the reverse.

Nobody knows this guy so voters in Biden districts will be introduced to him as a coup organizer who wants no exceptions for abortion & thinks being gay is bad

Scholastic has sent a letter apologizing, reversing the program, and redoubling efforts to combat book banning legislation. Thank you to all who signed and shared the statement which helped instigate forward momentum for Scholastic's decision. 👏

This is a very thoughtful thread that touches on something that I’ve long tried to convey — though much less eloquently — about the futility of fact-checking at times like this. Fact-checking should be seen as a necessary but not nearly sufficient response to mis/disinformation.

Whatever hit the hospital in #Gaza it wasn’t an airstrike. Even the smallest JDAM leaves a 3m crater. Widespread surface damage and total lack of cratering inconsistent with an airstrike.

Darryl George, a now-18-year-old student in Texas who served over a month of in-school suspension over his dreadlocks, was told he will be removed from his high school and sent to a disciplinary alternative education program on Thursday.

The Israeli army has ordered more than a million people in northern Gaza to evacuate within 24 hours. But there's nowhere to go. A thread on the rules of war and protecting civilians. https://t.co/83Bo5xyeMG

For those unfamiliar, a “lid” is just a courtesy announcement to reporters that they should not expect public events.

A lid does *not* mean the President has stopped working, as is implied in the *Fox* tweet below.

On the contrary, he’s working to support Israel all day:

With my government-administered, vaccine-borne chip now activated, I'm discovering new abilities.

I can levitate and also jump really, REALLY high.

Please ignore the leakage though.
