The Bejeweled & Beheaded Skeleton: A Knives Out Mystery

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Seeing a whole lot of Dem senators rushing to get their heartfelt, “I voted no” posts up. Remember that those 8 yes votes were carefully selected bc they aren’t up for reelection. The caucus picked who would take the fall so the rest could claim to be on our side. I don’t trust any of them rn.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

“Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die” - AFP.
International media is barred from entering Gaza by Israel. The only ones who have borne witness are local reporters, 185 of whom are now dead.
The last remaining, like all Gazans, are being systematically starved.
