FUN FACT: Mitch McConnell has been on paid medical leave for 51 days now. That's over 7 weeks.
This is a week longer than the 6 weeks of maternity leave that women in the US are not guaranteed after giving birth.
You’re almost there. Lemme help you get over the finish line
Left to right:
Breonna Taylor 2020: killed at home by police serving a no knock warrant that had nothing to do with her. Police were acquitted
Sonya Massey 2024: killed by police officer after calling them to her home. Officer was just sentenced to 20 yrs
Atatiana Jefferson 2019: killed by police after a neighbor called the NON EMERGENCY number bc she said her front door was open. Police shot through the window. While she was on the couch with her 8 yr old nephew. Officer was acquitted of murder but convicted for manslaughter. 11 yrs
Fred Hampton 1969: chairman of the black panther party was killed in his home by 14 FBI agents as part of cointelpro. Spurgen Winter Jr was also killed in this shooting. When they thought fred would survive they shot him two more times in the head at point blank range. They also tried to charge the other 7 panthers for attempted murder in the shootout. Those charges didnt stick. They shot 90+ times into the house with only one shot from black panthers coming from a misfired gun. They also Fred’s pregnant wife who survived along with her child. Agents weren’t charged.
Crazy right? Almost like it’s been happening for decades huh?
Palestinian veterinarian Mu’ath Abu Rakba’s body was recovered today.
He spent his final years treating hundreds of animals injured & starved by the Israeli siege.
Israel murdered him in a designated “safe zone”.
Support his legacy, Sulala Animal Rescue.
RIP Dr. Mu’ath
democrats losing on the biggest human rights issue of our time to this absolute maniac because they’re so deep in the pockets of israel is beyond embarrassing
Ms. Rachel schools Barack Obama on the fact that yes, Palestinians have families too. Weird that a youtuber like Ms. Rachel has more of a moral compass than any Democrat or Republican - not one elected official comes close.
Overnight, Israeli troops carried out a large-scale campaign of setting fire to huge amount of civilian homes and infrastructure before families returned to it in northern Gaza.
It appears to have been the most extensive mass arson operation since the genocide began.
Mamdani: Trump ran on three promises. He ran on the punishment of his political enemies, easing the cost of living crisis, and engaging in a program of mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. Yet he's unwilling to deliver on that because he's beholden to the very billionaires profiting off of that crisis. So he's focusing entirely on this agenda of punishment and cruelty.
Timeline:
- Israel demanded he abandon his patients and hospital
- He refused
- Israel murdered his son
- He still refused to abandon his hospital
- Israel wounded him & murdered staff
- He still refused to abandon his hospital
- Israel abducted him to a torture dungeon
The Global Sumud Flotilla is demonstrating the efficacy of tactical nonviolence in forcing a political crisis over the Gaza genocide. They are putting Israel on the back foot and forcing states to act. These brave comrades deserve our full attention, solidarity, and support
This entire interview is horrifying to listen to. Even those paying attention to the daily massacres often miss the gruesome reality imposed on the survivors. Whenever this genocide is ended, the physical & psychological scars of what Israel has done will be felt for generations.
Had an hour long conversation with a friend in Gaza and I really need you all to internalise that the horrors we’re seeing on our screens, is next to nothing compared to what they’re facing on a daily basis.
In the words of my friend - “Bombs are the least of our worries, Najat.”
We discussed the total destruction of social order and the disintegration of societal norms and behaviour of a people desperately trying to stay alive, along with the anarchy and lawlessness Israel has deliberately created via ISIS-linked militias, drug dealers and other criminals networks.
Please, everyone, give them grace, even if they might write something you may not agree with.
We’re witnessing a deeply traumatised populace, at the mercy of Judeo-Nazi Terrorists who are using starving people for target practice.
