Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

A news alert text from Sky News. It says:
Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.

The law was pushed by pro-israel advocacy groups (JLC, JPAC) and Democratic party lawmakers.

It's not that I won't vote for Gavin Newsom if he's the presidential candidate. It's that if the Democratic Party chooses him, then they are communicating to me that they actively do not want my vote, and believe they don't need it. I will simply honor their wishes

Two months later, on July 12, the couple were in the area of Bristol, Conn., staying at a hotel. Hill had been yelling at Vaccaro all day because "she was not doing what he wanted her to do," the document said. Inside their hotel room, with some of Hill's other children and family waiting in the lobby, Vaccaro told Hill that she didn't want to go out because she was pregnant and didn't feel well. Hill responded by picking up Vaccaro's phone and throwing it at her face. He then "threw a punch and tried to hit her pregnant stomach, but she deflected it," the document said. Hill also "ripped at her hair and pulled some hair out, then grabbed her purse and flung it across the room," the record said.

Vaccaro was very far along in her pregnancy in November of 2024, when the couple along with some family were at their Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., condominium getting ready to leave for a Dolphins game. Hill got angry with Vaccaro while they were in the bedroom, with the rest of their family in the living area, and spat in her face, the document said. She gave birth to their daughter the next day.

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

a small cream colored dog stares up at us. this is Boksil, swaddled in a grey robe, and tucked underneath a thick blanket on a bed. her little paws poke out of the robe's sleeves, and her toe beans are in full view. her tiny pink tongue mlems from her grinning mouth.

a higher angle of Boksil. a small yellow pillow rests beside her for scale, and her eyes are closed peacefully as she rests swaddled under a white blanket, looking very cozy.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”
