For the record,
The existence of systemic racism is NOT “politics”
Voter suppression is NOT “politics”
The murders of Black people at the hands of police is NOT “politics”
These are simply civil rights violations and they are undeniably wrong.

Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific.
@POTUS needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter.
🇮🇱🇵🇸 Netanyahu-appointed Israeli Digital Spokesperson @HananyaNaftali just posted, then DELETED, a tweet admitting that Israel bombed the Baptist Hospital in Gaza, killing 500 civilians.
Only problem? Naftali reported that the IDF thought they hit a “terrorist base.”
Whoops.
Two hours ago, Israeli government sources were calling the Baptist Hospital a "terrorist base" and the IDF was boasting about having "euthanized" Gazans.
Now they see how disgusted the world is, IDF is trying to tell us that a backfired rocket from Islamic Jihad is responsible.
🇮🇱🇵🇸 If Israel didn’t bomb the Gaza Baptist Hospital, why did the IDF warn the Gaza Baptist Hospital to evacuate the premises before the bombing occurred?
The lying warpigs have been EXPOSED!
so far Israel has said:
-it wasn't us.
-well we told them to evacuate the hospital.
-actually it was a Hamas misfire.
-actually it was Islamic Jihad.
It's actually very simple. They're lying.

On the left : Video footage of the airstrike that targeted the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza a couple of hours earlier, killing at least 500 Palestinians
On the right: A several year old video out of Operation Enduring Freedom
shows a JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) being used to
obliterate a Taliban position during a firefight in Afghanistan
Conclusion: Judging from similar projectile sound (whistling noise) in both the videos just prior to impact (a clear indication of the terminal velocity), and the blast radius, it can be safely concluded that a JDAM (weighing 500 lbs) has been used by Israel to target the hospital.
No Hamas rocket / missile has the ability to achieve such high terminal velocities at target end, let alone in case it misfired (as some Israeli propagandists / so-called military experts are saying to confuse public opinion on social media)

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.
Hadestown is the single greatest piece of art I’ve ever experienced
Listen to it if you haven’t yet, and if you ever have the opportunity/privilege to see it, definitely do that.
Bill Russell story…
Senior year of college. I’m the GM of our student radio station. Get a PR pitch email asking if we are interested in interviewing Mr. Russell, who was promoting what I recall to be an arthritis medication….
To be clear both of things these men did were awful and reprehensible…
The fact that this dude has such differing opinions about each issue shows that he really doesn’t care about the victims or the crime, really just the criminal and what they look like
If prison and police actually prevented crime or produced public safety, the US would be the safest country in the world. The reality is that prison is crimonogenic & police don’t produce public safety. Anyone arguing for more prison & police is ignoring 50yrs of policy failure.
