These are Auschwitz-level pictures. Any comparison of Israel to Nazis, or of the genocide they’re carrying out in Gaza to the Holocaust, are entirely appropriate. And only someone who is a liar or willfully ignorant could fail to acknowledge the complicity of the West in this.

Turned on TV news this morning & the first thing I heard was “President Trump is again promising a quick end to the war in Iran, saying it could come as early as this weekend.” I wouldn’t mind that if it was followed by one more sentence—“This is the 16th time he has done so.”

You know who solved the doctor shortage problem? Cuba, because they used government money to build medical schools, & then provide medical education for free, even to students from other countries (including the US!). It’s called “socialism”.

What an appalling headline from the WaPo. The “GOP-led” part of the House did everything possible to prevent the vote from even happening.

Israel carried out terrorist air strikes on four houses simultaneously in Gaza City.
At least nine people were killed including a father, a mother, and their three children.

Israel burns people alive like in a holocaust.

@RnaudBertrand Can’t help wondering if it was 3D printed.

@K3nB3n @seizethebanks Any person who supports the US government is not to be taken seriously.

JFC, these guys will print anything Trump says, even when he’s obviously just jerking their chain!

@J41869537 “It’s been reported…” Very authoritative! 🙄

“Confirms” is the wrong word to use about a man who tells lies like he breathes. “Claims” would be more journalistically appropriate.

@J41869537 Pretty hard to do without a nuke.

The undemocratic nature of California’s “top two” system was clearly in evidence in yesterday’s election. Instead of choosing who they felt best represented them, it’s clear that most Democratic voters felt they had to choose Becerra or Steyer in order to prevent 2 R’s from top 2

El General de Ejército Raúl Castro Ruz cumple 95 años. Celebramos su vida dedicada a la Patria y al pueblo cubano, con humildad, sencillez y sacrificio.

Cuba lo abraza hoy con gratitud y orgullo.

Siempre tendremos presente su lealtad a la Revolución y a Fidel, su dedicación incansable al trabajo, su carácter recto y jovial, su amor incondicional a la tierra que lo vio nacer.

Ha sido continuador de la Diplomacia Revolucionaria fundada por el Comandante en Jefe, promotor de la unidad regional, impulsor de la Proclama de América Latina y el Caribe como Zona de Paz, guía en el restablecimiento de las relaciones diplomáticas con EEUU.

Su ejemplo nos convoca a seguir construyendo un futuro de dignidad, independencia y soberanía, que sí es posible, donde no existe la rendición ni el derrotismo.

Sabemos que continuará siempre junto a nosotros con el pie en el estribo, defendiendo la Patria, la Revolución y el Socialismo.

Felicidades.

I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.

Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.

@tparsi The consequences of having a President who’s a 🤡.

@ddale8 He might be right, if the “they” refers to Elon Musk & co.

@KenRoth “Confirms” is a funny word to use about a man who tells lies like he breathes. “Claims” would be more journalistically appropriate.

Yeah, we never thought otherwise! 🤡

The highlight of this morning’s run.

@AssalRad “Partial truce” = Israel is allowed to keep killing, Hezbollah (or Hamas or Iran) is expected not to. 😡

Contrary to this WaPo headline, there was never a “plan” for a Gaza reconstruction, much less a “grand” one. What there was was an AI video, straight out of the gaslighting factory.
