When will the United States talk about Palestinian hostages? My brother in law and my wife’s wounded cousin have been held hostages for days. I have friends and workmates who have been held hostages for months and their families know nothing about them.
When will the United States talk about hostages who have been held for years?
Our land that’s been held hostage for decades?

My latest for @UrbanistOrg. I do my best to summarize the end of this year's budget season. My takeaways: SPD wins, affordable housing loses, less transparency, the Chamber got the budget they wanted (and arguably bought in last year's election), and more budget fights to come.

@mattyglesias wow that sure is some misogynoir

In northern Gaza, relentless Israeli attacks continue targeting Palestinians in their homes. Nearly 70 killed in early morning strikes on residential buildings. Entire neighborhoods, infrastructure, and means of survival are being systematically destroyed.

🇺🇸: Israel is not deliberately preventing aid

🇮🇱 Media: Israeli soldiers prevented people from getting aid then set fire to it

[Ali A Olomi @aaolomi]

one of the most chilling and heart wrenching testimonies: “the bombs would drop and then the drones would come down and pick off civilians—children” we have more eye witness testimony from doctors than most genocide in modern history

[The Palestine Chronicle @PalestineChron]

In a new ‘flour massacre’, the Israeli army killed dozens of Palestinians who were awaiting the arrival of humanitarian aid in the Sudanese roundabout area, northwest of Gaza City, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported.

‘Democrats are already on board with sanctioning the ICC, shutting down UNRWA, and not allowing the world to hold Israel accountable under international law for anything it does. This is already bipartisan.’

Lebanese paramedics sit amidst the rubble, grieving their murdered colleagues.

Israel bombed a Civil Defense Center in Baalbek, Lebanon, wiping out 15 paramedics in an instant.

These were first responders, not combatants.

This is sheer barbarity.

@MichelleTeDBear @SydneyBattle I think this doesn't work anymore - not sure if its two separate mechanisms but as of today you can't opt out of feeding the ai

[vivafalastin 🇵🇸 @vivafalastin]

i care more about the fact that palestinians in gaza saw our protests and felt the solidarity. these pictures alone matter more to me than any american’s perception of “wokeness” and “elitism”

[vivafalastin 🇵🇸 @vivafalastin]

i think you guys just hate palestinians

There are a couple of key amendments that MUST be approved to lessen the impact of the mayor's massive cuts to tenant services. Tell your councilmember to support tenants by approving them! Send an email here: https://t.co/RzcTl4eaYm

ICE has 20,000 agents. The only way they'll deport millions of people is with the help of software. If you work for a company that's selling their tools to help ICE do this work, you should leak to reporters what's going on.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Palestinians have an active resistance on the ground in the West Bank too - they've been resisting the Occupation for decades and especially since October 2023. But yes, as Tariq lays out in this thread - annexation has already been the practice. Liberals clutching their pearls over this so they don't have to feign concern over the actual (Democrat-led) extermination of Palestinian life.

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

52 fascist Dems join fascist Republicans in trying to pass fascist HR 9495 but fell 9 shy of 2/3 majority —even while knowing it would be Trump’s weapon to wield against non-profits. Anyone wanna crosswalk this list w/pro-genocide House members? Cuz this feels like AIPAC’s work.

[GNCordova @GNCordova]

Everyone paying attention said they only made the 30-day ultimatum (with a deadline conveniently after the election), to pacify the anti-genocide left. It was from the same playbook as the “working tirelessly on a ceasefire” narrative.

[Antony Loewenstein @antloewenstein]

My podcast series with @dropsitenews, ‘The Palestine Laboratory’, is now out in the world. All 4 episodes. It’s generated a remarkable global response, I keep on getting positive messages about it from Sweden to Palestine, and covers everything from apartheid South Africa and Israel to Israel testing new weapons in Gaza since 7 October 2023.
Take a listen, share and spread the word. It’s available wherever you get your podcasts.
The Trump administration will be filled with far-right bigots, neo-conservatives and evangelicals who don’t believe even in the existence in Palestinians so it’s more vital than ever to understand what’s happened and where we’re likely heading:
