A lot of people are dragging Sydney Sweeney for the poor box office this weekend — and I do think that there are legitimate things to criticise Sweeney over, truly — but let’s not forget that Christy Martin is a real person, whose then-husband tried to murder her when she tried to leave him after years of abuse.

New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5
That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.
Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.
