My heart breaks every time I see a Palestinian account begging for money to help them survive this horrific genocide, knowing I cannot afford to offer anything. 💔

What a dystopian time we're living in where Democratic leaders are just positing that the president of the US might decide to use lethal force on anyone he chooses and it's f*cking true. He's already murdered people in the Caribbean & the right is salivating for him to do the same on US streets.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Almost 55,000 children in Gaza acutely malnourished, Lancet study estimates

Study shows clear link between Israeli restrictions on aid entering Gaza and levels of malnutrition among children Almost 55,000 children in Gaza are estimated to be acutely malnourished, far more than have so far been identified as victims of the potentially lethal condition, a study published in the Lancet, the respected international medical periodical, has revealed. The study, published on Wednesday, and led by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa), offers a month-by-month breakdown through much of the two-year conflict, and shows for the first time a clear link between Israeli restrictions on supplies entering Gaza and levels of malnutrition among children.

WHY are we continuing to allow the US to buy stakes in OUR resources? My GAWD, they are threatening our sovereignty! The LAST thing we should be doing is letting them buy stakes in the very things we SHOULD be using to create LESS dependence on the US. 🤦‍♀️

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire.

And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time.

I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

If this deal holds, if it goes beyond the 1st phrase, if all of the hostages on both side are released, if Israel withdraws its troops & doesn't resume bombing, if aid gets in, then I'll give Trump credit.

But I count 5 "ifs" above. Let's see. Trump always tends to disappoint.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

"To an agreed line". If that line is still on Palestinian land, it's just a bullshit plan that will allow Israel to continue doing what they've done for 80 years. LIE and then start murdering Palestinians and stealing their land again.

What's interesting is the conservative language here is about "proving" these people meet "requirements" that the average conservative would not even be able to meet. I have never met people LESS aware of the very things immigrants are expected to know than a conservative.
