Spent last night sobbing. There was nothing I did to deserve being born here vs Palestine, Iran, Sudan, the DRC, nothing. There’s nothing that justifies their suffering. I love people, I love children, I love the land, I love its creatures, and so I hate, hate, hate this country.
“lsraelis are fleeing Tel Aviv.” Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. Since 1948.

The next DNC chair should make two things clear: No super pac money in democratic primaries and not a dime of corporate pac money for the DNC. That is a basic first step to ensure our party represents working and middle class Americans.
Every time there’s a Trump nomination announcement, it’s helpful to remember that Democratic consultants are home at their mansions counting the tens of millions of dollars they just made off losing a winnable election that coulda prevented all of this.
David K. Lee identifies as formerly unhoused and an addict. “God placed PAD in my life. I’ve been 17 months clean and sober.” PAD helped him get housing and on disability. “All they did was just love me,” Lee says.

Intentionally blocking aid, targeting humanitarian workers, and now banning UNRWA. All of Gaza is on the brink of famine.
The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war. How much more evidence does the Biden-Harris administration need to stop these war crimes?
i hate this patronizing, head-patting “community is hurting” bullshit. The “community” (eg anti-genocide voters, not just a sectarian demographic) had a specific ask, it was a reasonable ask. It was an actionable ask. Harris ignored it. That’s it. That’s the story, unfortunately.
BREAKING: Israeli forces gather large numbers of children and women into a hole and surround them with gunfire before allowing them to flee from the northern Gaza Strip.
According to a testimony from one of the women in Jabalia:
“They took all the children from their mothers and put them in something resembling a pit or a hole. The tank came and circled around them several times until they were covered in dirt and sand, amidst the screams of children and the wailing of mothers. After that, the soldiers came and started throwing the children in the direction of the mothers. If a mother picked up a child, she had to carry them and move quickly without confirming that the child was indeed hers.
Many of the mothers picked up children that weren't theirs, forced to leave with other women's children. Here, a new chapter of suffering begins, as a mother searches for her child in the hands of another woman, calming a child in her arms until she finds her own.”
