You saw..
Babies with their brains blown out.
Babies terrorized by nonstop air strikes.
Babies scorched by white phosphorus bombs.
Babies buried under the rubble.
Over 10,000 civilians now.
And you still didn’t act or care.
Maybe it’s you who is the animal.

QUICK THREAD on the Israel/UAE normalization of relations: 1) There is nothing "historic" or "groundbreaking" about this agreement: Israel & the UAE have been strong allies under the table for many years! This is merely making that friendship public (which is still interesting).
Classic: UAE formalize relations that they already had behind the scenes; Israel pledges not to do something illegal that it had no right to do anyways, and expects plaudits for it; Trump gets to play pretend-deal maker; occupied Palestinians continue to get screwed by the world.
.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
We are barely surviving the bumbling fascist - what happens when we have the efficient fascist? And don’t try to say that could never happen because how do you think the bumbling one made it this far?
This. Trump being an appalling president and human being should not and does not absolve the previous Republican president of also being pretty fking awful too. Shame on Obama for normalizing him.
Said the same thing about the coronavirus, and 102,000+ deaths later, it's nowhere being over very easily or very quickly. Just like that, he doesn't understand the problem or anything resembling a solution. The answer to everything isn't simply signing an executive order.
AIPAC is deeply and unshakably committed to the core American values of equality, freedom and justice. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Black community in its ongoing struggle for the same rights and respect to which all Americans are entitled.
Israeli troops shot dead a 32-year-old autistic man in front of his caregiver. "He's disabled", she said. They still shot him dead. There will be no vigils, no protests, nobody will remember his name and nobody will be held accountable. He was, after all, Palestinian.
Trump is trying to use empty stacks of paper yet again to try and settle an argument. Probably reused the same props from earlier. https://t.co/o1dKuDKy8b
Kayleigh McEnany begins the press briefing with some show and tell, dismissing the pandemic response plan left by Obama for Trump as a "thin packet of paper."
I’m so frustrated right now ... that we can’t trust the media to tell us the truth without inflaming it to hurt Trump ... that Trump has misled so many times we no longer know when to trust his word ... that even I as a journalist am not sure where to turn for real info on COVID.
You lock up in cages and separate from their parents, children who come crawling to your border tired and hungry, so fuck off with the fake humanity and acting like you give a shit about children. Pfft.
Under Qassem Soleimani the Iranian regime recruited, trained, and deployed child soldiers as young as 12 years old to fight in conflicts throughout the Middle East. This is the kind of unacceptable behavior the regime must change. Until then, maximum pressure will only intensify.
Asked re his vague call for NATO to get more involved in the Middle East, Trump says he has come up with a "beautiful" name, "NATOME," for NATO Middle East. He says he is great at names, like USMCA, which is like the song YMCA. "Doesn't that work beautifully?...'NATO' plus 'ME.'"
