A huge international crowd came out of nowhere, bringing thousands more to the March on Washington.
“From Palestine to the Philippines, stop the U.S. war machine!”
“From Palestine to Mexico, border walls have got to go!”
“From Palestine to Puerto Rico, occupation is illegal!”
Today. Displacement of Palestinians from northern to southern Gaza after Israeli threats.
Israel ordered the evacuation of its residents from the northern Gaza Strip, causing a “mass exodus” towards the besieged south of the Strip.
Here’s what’s wild: the Israelis have never offered the Palestinians a state, ever. That’s a fact. But if you say that here in the U.S. you sound like a madman, because the line here is that they kept turning down great offers. Now finally this extreme right wing govt in Israel…
5 yo woke up with a fever. CVS Minute Clinic says she has flu, prescribes tamaflu.

My kids were pointing out this morning that when school lunch was free for everybody during the pandemic the line moved fast and everybody had enough time to eat. Now that they’re back to charging, kids have about 3 minutes or less to shovel the food in their face or miss recess
Let's be clear: Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into war with Iran without Congressional approval. A president should never take this nation to war without the informed consent of the American people.
Lotta drama over an infrastructure bill that spends an extra $55 billion a year over ten years.
They raised the military budget by more than half that a few weeks ago without batting an eye.
Fun fact about Bill Gates and capitalism. Decades ago he retired and began giving all his money away. He’s famous for that. Today he’s worth more money than the day he stopped working. Neat trick.

Armed settlers (protected by israeli occupation police) attempted to seize a portion of the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. Locals have staged a sit-in on the property and refuse to be intimidated by fascists.
This is just a guy holding up his green ID (which Israel requires all Gazans to carry; it’s the most restrictive ID color in their apartheid scheme and essentially bars travel. They also used to claim not to be Gaza’s occupying power.)
Absolutely wild that a guy who literally owns a coal producing business that generates millions for him — currently — can make this kind of decision for the whole country and it’s not illegal
Israel went to Jenin today, in the West Bank, and kidnapped this 7 year old girl from her family. They do these things often but we rarely catch them on film.
Seeing a lot of people dunking on the crying young woman who just started a 9-5 job with a long commute and her reaction to it is the healthy one! All the people who've been beaten down into just accepting it as okay are the unhealthy ones.
The IDF thinks this makes them look good to release this?

Columbia COO Cas Holloway was standing at the entrance when he approached.
A Buffalo police statement initially said that a man was injured when he “tripped and fell” during “a skirmish involving protesters."
That language only amplified criticism, as the video soon showed it was false.
The election in Colombia of a former narco-terrorist Marxist is troubling and disappointing. The spread of left-wing totalitarian ideology in the Western Hemisphere is a growing threat. Florida stands with Colombian Americans on the side of freedom.
Imagine you’re in an ambulance hoping it can get you where you need to be fast enough to save your life, and it’s pulled over and the driver and EMTs dragged out, stripped and detained.

Confederates weren’t just vicious racists and traitors, they were also losers. They lost a single election and quit the country, then lost the war and pretended to surrender so they could try terrorism instead. Losers and cowards.
The horrifying details emerging about the World Central Kitchen massacre: The convoy was struck 3 times in succession, with the drone chasing the wounded aid workers from vehicle to vehicle to make sure they were all killed. No legit pretext and precise coordination with the IDF.
The IDF's early explanation re the killing of the World Central Kitchen team is in - per "security sources" speaking to Haaretz. Before we get to the putative pretext for the attack, they also disclose a harrowing detail - the drone bombed the convoy THREE TIMES in succession..
Do people remember that after 9/11, Barbara Lee stood up and was the lone courageous dissenter amid our lust for revenge?

At $70 billion/year, Warren’s universal child care program would cost roughly what Congress added casually to the Pentagon budget with no debate or even rationale
The media refuses to acknowledge that Jewish students are heavily represented in the pro-Palestine protests because it just wouldn’t fit with the safety narrative
When I speak on campus, I ask what % of the pro-Palestine protesters are Jewish. Usually, Jews are overrepresented. Sometimes they're the largest identity group. Maybe folks calling for cracking down on protesters in the name of Jewish safety should consider their safety too
European Parliament member from Ireland disowns Biden: “Take note butcher Biden: The ancestors of the Ireland that you claim to be from disown you. Keep our country out of your mouth.”
I always thought movies where a guy slaps on a mustache and suddenly is able to hide himself were totally unrealistic. Apparently it very much works on some people.
1. This absolutely appalling highway shootout yesterday encapsulates the under-trained, military-cosplaying, Punisher-wannabe cops who permeate America's police departments.
They killed both the hostage and a bystander, then bragged "no LEOs were harmed."
With evidence of UNRWA workers taking part in the killing, raping and hostage taking on Oct. 7 - Canada restores funding it never really cut off by giving this agency more. I’m sure the investigation was thorough (it was not).

Buttigieg thinks that if your combined household income is more than $100k/yr you can be lumped in rhetorically with billionaires and should be cut out of the free public college pool
Pete Buttigieg’s proposed cutoff for free college is the upper middle class, not millionaires. His plan would make public college tuition-free for households earning up to $100K a year.

Rep. Andy Barr invited AOC to come meet coal miners in his district mad that the Green New Deal will take away their jobs. She accepted. Turns out there are no active coal mines in Barr's district because it's 2019, not 1919. So now Barr is uninviting AOC.
A system that allows a 54-35 vote margin to be called a "stinging defeat" for the side that got the 54 is just not sustainable. This is over one way or another-it either slides into authoritarian minority rule or the filibuster goes away and allows an actual democracy to function
NEW: The State Department has put a temporary hold on funding for UNRWA, the main UN agency in Gaza, following allegations that 12 UNRWA employees were involved in Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks in Israel
This is utterly insane. We would insist any other country doing this be sanctioned. To top it off, the woman charged here is saying that by “them” — in may God protect them — she meant Israel, and judging from her reaction that seems plausible.

This is pretty standard procedure for the Israelis. Drop a big pile of intel, allies spend time trying to verify, and when they can’t just give them more to make them waste more time. The bet is that allies will be too nervous to call bullshit. Usually works.

Rogan is a part of our politics and has millions of people who listen to him. Nothing you do can change that. You can either have him in the Sanders tent in conversation with people with decent values or cast him out into the arms of Trump. The latter will do far more harm.
So the “stabbed in the eye” report, which sent genuine fear rippling through Jewish communities, for good reason, turns out to be bogus. Here’s the video, it’s a grazing at most by a tiny flag, and turns out the “victim” is a known right wing provocateur

I can say with 100% confidence that this claim from the New York Times is completely untrue. Khan was not our source. Neither was any other civilian. Our source was in the Pakistan military. If the Times has evidence to the contrary, publish it. Otherwise retract this.
Taking things up a notch, PTI likely to be behind the leak of the controversial cable.
Still, the contents don’t prove a conspiracy but strained relations —- and that was already known.
This is a genuinely neutral description of this article. The only thing it leaves out is that the IDF did not actually bother in general to confirm the target was home. So sometimes they *only* killed the women and children.
Israel used an automated system called "Where's Daddy?" to ensure it killed AI-designated targets while the targets were at home with their spouses and children:
