By my count, Israel has assassinated all but twelve of the journalists left in Gaza. Let THAT sink in. (Also, Motaz was targeted today. In the part of Gaza that's supposed to be a "safe zone." While he was going to get his grandmother some water.)

The one thing I remember from last night is this: one out of every 1,000 Black people has died of COVID-19. By the time Trump is out of the White House, that number is projected to be one out of every 500. Why is no one talking about this? Why are we never hearing that statistic?
