Democratic Party leaders who are polling lower than the Antichrist telling Zohran how he should govern.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

Today I saw the face of what we’ve become: and it was buried in trash.

It was after the hospital. My hands still smelled of blood and iodine, as if I had just pulled death out of someone’s lungs. I stepped into the street not as a man walks, but as a shadow stumbles: worn, faceless, erased.

And then I saw them.
In the middle of the road.
Six souls. A family. Huddled together, not at the edge where the damned usually die, but in the heart of the road; as if they had taken position at the altar of some invisible God who no longer answers.

I should have turned away.

But curiosity is a wicked thing.
It’s not wonder; it’s hunger.
And sometimes, it eats you alive.

I walked toward them.
They were quiet. Too quiet.
A circle of bones and breath.

And there it was.

A meal.
Or what I thought was a meal.
A miracle, maybe, for a second.
But no.

It wasn’t food.
It was garbage.

A pile of trash.
Stinking. Festering. A graveyard of wrappers and waste.
And from that grave, they had scraped a few strands of spaghetti: cold, sticky, clinging to dirt as if ashamed to be eaten.

And then I saw him.

The father.
With hands no longer hands, but trembling instruments of despair.
He reached into the trash and lifted the food: not to eat, no, but to feed.

He fed it to his daughter.
A little girl.
Her eyes were too large for her face. Her lips, cracked. Her dress, torn like she had fallen through history itself.
And he fed her garbage, with love.

With tenderness.
As if it were soup.
As if it were gold.

He held it delicately.
Lifted it to her lips like a holy offering.
And she took it.
She chewed slowly.

She smiled.

And I…
I shattered.

Because in that moment, the universe reversed.
The sacred became foul.
The foul became sacred.
And I was no longer a witness;
I was a criminal.

How dare I exist?
How dare I walk upright while that child eats from the mouth of death?

I did nothing.

I stood there, paralyzed by the weight of my own uselessness.
I, who have words, hands, and breath, did nothing.

And worse: I walked away.

But no, that’s a lie.
I never left.
I am still there.

@Playerinthgame Who are all the reps in this photo?

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

By the way, this is the size of Gaza. Basically a train ride from Brooklyn to Yonkers.

Now imagine this slice of NYC being subjected to the equivalent of 6 Hiroshima bombs, mass starvation, drones sniping children, hospitals demolished, and aid workers massacred.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

This is the best ever true news BBC ever made about Israel, 4 minutes but every minute is extremely important

[Alex Skopic @alexskopic]

He's got to do it. Just wrote an article about this:

[jana the evil witch (resurrected) @nobodysdaught3r]

they waited for gaza to reach stage 5 of malnutrition (which is irreversible) to finally speak up.

it’s just so they could claim to be on “the right side of history” while choosing to be silent for months and months before that. fuck all of you.

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said “not this way” to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops. Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

I know people have said this but want to underline — disasters like the LA fires just show me over and over that people want to help each other so badly. it’s our natural inclination and we live in a place that stamps it out on a government level, but it doesn’t change the desire

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR WAS ICC ARREST WARRANT JUDGE

This is one of the 6 judges who examined evidence against Netanyahu and Gallant. He decided the ICC, @IntlCrimCourt, should issue arrest warrants.

His name is Theodor Meron. He's a Holocaust survivor and former Israeli ambassador to Canada.

He knows a Holocaust when he sees it.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

Today, President Biden dishonored the memories of our families killed in the Holocaust.

The enduring lesson of that tragedy is that Never Again must mean Never Again for Anyone.

“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism is gonna stop us all.”

- Chairman Fred Hampton

As we watch peaceful protesters brutalized and arrested, we must realize what it is we are witnessing.

[Culver City Vice Mayor Bubba Fish 🐠 @bubbathefish]

Culver City collaborated with LA on this sweep, and we now know the results— 2/52 people who wanted shelter got it.

That’s < 4%.

The data confirms what we already knew — sweeps don’t work.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

I’m so tired of Biden officials acting like we’re idiots. You can’t arm and fund Israel, draw no red lines, veto UN resolutions, reject the ICJ, cut UNRWA funding, ignore international law, then say you’re helping the dire humanitarian crisis you created. People see your lies.

[gato fumante @KweenInYellow]

While Joe Biden was president, the IDF deliberately sniped an American journalist in the head while she was wearing a press vest standing next to her camera crew. The Biden administration did nothing and the Israeli soldier who murdered her was never punished.
