Residents of Silwan attempted to prevent Israeli forces from demolishing their neighbor's grocery store, and they were met with the usual brutality, tear gas, and arrests.
Simply for trying to save their neighbor’s livelihood and a source of sustenance for their community.
This might be the beginning of a wave of destruction and ethnic cleansing in Silwan. If you've wondered what you would do during the Nakba, you're doing it now. Don't look away. #SaveSilwan
Sen. Manchin, you couldn’t get 10 GOP votes to even debate voting rights. So now let’s break the filibuster, go to majority vote on For The People Act, VRA, George Floyd Act, infrastructure, raising the minimum wage & making permanent #ChildTaxCredit, b/c it’s all connected.
Chants from yesterday’s state-sanctioned nationalist march through Jerusalem:
“Death to Arabs!”
“The 2nd Nakba is coming. You will end up in refugee camps.”
“A good Arab is a dead Arab.”
“The Arab is the son of a bitch.”
“May your village burn.”
BREAKING: Maine is the first of the 50 U.S states to divest its financial holdings from the fossil fuel industry. $17b will be shifted to clean energy in another major blow to Chevron.

BREAKING: NYT lawyer and Chevron human rights violator Boutrous slammed today in protest for his attacks on Amazon Indigenous peoples and their attorneys.
NYT: Fire Boutrous. Your refusal to cover my 673-day detention and the Ecuador case speaks volumes.
The #PoorPeoplesCampaign is announcing today that on Monday, June 14, we will hold a Moral March on Manchin in West Virginia, led by West Virginians of all colors, creeds, etc. from the hood to the hollers.
If you were involved with #ForceTheVote and you're still interested in enacting single payer healthcare, we're on the cusp of passing it in NY. We have a majority support in both houses for the New York Health Act and only we have until June 10th to pass it.
New at @dailyposter: The Washington Post turned its homepage into a giant native ad for Amazon yesterday, where the company got to look progressive pushing for a $15 minimum wage.
Meanwhile, the Post has actively campaigned against a $15 min wage

NEW: Chicago police used CIA-backed Oracle software to surveil protesters and mine their Twitter feeds.
Oracle then peddled that same software for police work in China.
I bring you a tale of global surveillance. 1/ https://t.co/pcvraA6UDk
The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.
American Jews, do not look away. This is not about a few right-wing settlers. This is not a fringe position. And it's not at all new. Polls of Israeli public opinion have for years shown a majority holding views favoring expulsion, apartheid, Jewish supremacy.
