Not noticing that Jane Goodall died on Oct 1st is a recession indicator for real... orz

"Even if this is the end of humanity as we know it, let's fight to the very end. Let's let the children know, you know, that there is hope if they get together."

www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Jane Goodall's 'Famous Last Words' revealed. Here's what she said.

Jane Goodall, who died Oct. 1, said she would want to be remembered as "somebody sent to this world to try to give people hope in dark times."

In Gaza, hunger doesn’t knock — it moves in.
It tucks the children into bed with empty stomachs.
It whispers through the night louder than the bombs.
We need food. We need safety. We need the world to care.
Please don’t scroll past our pain 💔🙏🏻

l've seen political terrorism at my doorstep, for which my family has never received justice.
I'm glad Antifa is finally designated a terrorist organization — and I look forward to a day when Portland's press isn't so dismissive of the threat and impact on local democracy.

This is actually so smart. Invite world-class comedians to your dictatorship so everyone stops talking about your crimes because they're too busy discoursing about this one asshole from Boston.

The gambit is that everyone will be debating Bill Burr and no one will remember to ask them about the Sudanese child soldiers the Saudis fed into the meatgrinder in Yemen or the drone strikes on school busses they carried out there

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

Why are the worst people so good at strategy? Thank you for reminding me to not give a flying fuck what Bill Burr does or doesn't do and focus on the Big Fish.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

We Said “We Will Block Everything” and We Did: Inside Italy’s Strike for Gaza

Following a 24-hour general strike on September 22, the country is now gearing up for a national protest on October 4.

Who knows why he's backing off, but "oh oops, I was confused by others" is a smart deflection. "Smart" as in self-destructive Liberals will now be mad at anyone who continues to criticize him about threatening to deploy troops here.

So I saw a bunch of people talking about Trump saying
"Wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" in reference to Portland and I assumed that was just a summary but no that's a direct quote

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

We have no idea what the military to Portland is going to look like or if it will happen at all, right now what the Feds are doing in Chicago is much MUCH worse than anything in Portland

It's not a coincidence that Melrose Park PD already has blotter page of migrants they've arrested at traffic stops for vehicle violations. This is but one extension of police terror against immigrants in Cook Co. burbs.

MPPD also flew a Trump flag outside their station after he won the election.

Bovino in Melrose Park this morning.

Note: this isn't only close to Broadview. It's also just down the road from Franklin Park, where two ICE agents shot and killed unarmed Silverio Villegas González at a jump out traffic stop ~2 weeks ago.

Unreal. The casual reader of this @nytimes.com hed and subhed will have no inkling whatsoever that Trump's "characterization" is wildly false and that it's a bad faith *pretext.* Time to get better at conveying the fundamentally pretextual nature of these authoritarian decrees already.
