Muhammad Issa Abbas was busy with his family preparing for his wedding yesterday, planning over lunch and showing off some new clothes.
After leaving his family home, Israeli forces shot him at close range, killing him.
In the morning, the junta's chief met and cut a cake together with Cardinal Charles Maung Bo, a Burmese Catholic prelate. At night, the junta's soldiers are brutally launching airstrikes at the Laykaykaw, where most Christian civilians live.
So the Illinois Investment Policy Board Committee on Israel Boycott Restrictions met today to "discuss" penalizing Ben & Jerry's for its constitutionally protection boycott activity directed at illegal Israeli settlements. 1
NOT FUN FACT: 90% of Democrats have been vaccinated, compared to only 54% of Republicans.
All this death and sickness has been brought to us by the Republican Party. Vote accordingly.
The Senate adjourned for 2021 at 4 a.m. this morning, officially ending any hope of passing Build Back Better or voting rights this year. Biden's agenda is now at the mercy of the midterm election year, thanks mainly to @Sen_JoeManchin.
Because I’m vaccinated & boosted & take precautions, I don’t fear the virus. What I DO fear is that I, or someone I love, might need emergency medical care for something else & can’t get it because hospitals are stuffed w/people who foolishly-& selfishly-refuse to be vaccinated!
This is what the filibuster is blocking:
-voting rights
-abortion rights
-gun control
-equality act
-immigration reform
-criminal justice reform
-raising minimum wage
-combatting climate change
Kudos to the 1/6 committee for trying to get to the truth about Trump's attempted coup and his (at best) dereliction of duty on Jan. 6. But why haven't former Trump officials (including the VP) stepped forward to tell us what Trump did? That is their ongoing dereliction of duty.
Don Jr. texts Meadows, "He's got to condemn this shit ASAP." Meadows responds: “I'm pushing it hard."
In other words, Meadows was talking to Trump and pushing him to stop the insurrection. Trump refused. Trump knew was happening, and he refused to act. He was pro-insurrection.
Republicans are basically blocking every single possible Biden nominee, just to try to hurt the country, and therefore hurt Joe Biden.
As we speak, the Republicans are on the floor blocking all Dept. of Transportation and Commerce nominees because of the "supply chain crisis."

@kathnong@petitpor This decision also serves as a stark reminder to the gay community of the cold and heartless hypocrisy of so many in the royalist movement toward LGBTQ people.
@kathnong@petitpor A poorly reasoned and written opinion from a Court whose gross politization has caused deep resentment and mistrust of its decisions.

@TeaPainUSA Your message is true but has little impact as long as Pres Biden continues his delusional portrayal of the GOP in Congress as "people I can work with in bi-partisan spirit."
When Dems stood up for women, the GOP embraced Male Dominance.
When Dems stood up for minorities, the GOP embraced white supremacy.
When Dems stood up for science, the GOP embraced ignorance.
The GOP ain’t nothin’ but mindless reactionaries.
"The 10th Mountain Division in which I served in Italy, and the Black troops of the 92nd Division who fought nearby were the proof for me...When the blood of the sons of immigrants and the grandsons of slaves fell on foreign fields it was American blood."
