Wajahat Ali:
Also a reminder that Trump’s casual and frequent antisemitism and tropes of dual loyalty are rarely mentioned or challenged. Ditto the now ubiquitous use of "Soros" and "globalists" by the GOP which are all anti-Semitic dog whistles.

"Navy ships also prevented boats from sailing from the Gaza Strip."

Critical so the hostages cant be moved from the Gaza Strip.

incredibly disingenuous to use our suffering

Much like Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu is a criminal who belongs in prison.

Gothenburg, Sweden the Jewish congregation advised that Jews make themselves invisible - leave kippot and Stars of David at home, do not speak Hebrew - because the massacre in Israel had already excited antisemites in numerous cities to attack Jews.

In early October of 1973 a little boy watching TV saw thousands of people in the streets of a city on that TV and they were chanting something. And a man's voice on the TV said they were chanting “Kill the Jews.”

He asked his father, “Why do they want to kill us?”

His father answered, “It doesn't matter why. It only matters that they do.”

That little boy was me.

It's 2023 and it still doesn't matter why. It only matters that they still do.

🥰The results are in, and the 2023 Fat Bear Champion has been crowned.

Grazer tipped the scale this year to claim the crown. Through some dedicated fan voting, she’s the first female to ever claim this title. You go girl!

As of March 31, 2018, Indigenous inmates represented 28% of the total federal in-custody population while comprising just 4.3% of the Canadian population.

The situation continues to worsen for Indigenous women. Over the last ten years, the number of Indigenous federally sentenced women increased by 60%, growing from 168 in March 2009 to 270 in March 2018.

At the end of the reporting period, 40% of incarcerated women in Canada were of Indigenous ancestry.

This is a friendly reminder that, when there is a strike that inconveniences you, your civic duty as a member of the working/middle class is to show solidarity w/ striking workers by - at very least - being patient and not complaining too much.

Sure, it's inconvenient to not be able to get whatever good or service, but you know what's even more inconvenient? Not being able to make a living wage, having no sick leave, and so on.

Which is often/typically why strikes happen.

Gym’s about to go through some things

The goal is to convince his cult, not of his innocence, but of his RIGHT to do whatever he wants. For him the court of public opinion is all that matters.

Stop waiting for Tuberville to “back down. Change the Senate rules and confirm them all next week.

Thank you for this timely thread, very important!

SIFT is an acronym we can all use to remember a simple way to avoid inadvertently spreading misinformation and disinformation.

Stop.
Investigate the source.
Find better coverage.
Trace claims to original context.

"Hamas’ invasion of Israel over the weekend, the killing, rape, and kidnapping of civilians is a reminder that evil will burn its own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. There is no justification for Hamas’ actions, and they knew what would happen to innocent Palestinians in the wake of their terror. They did it anyway. Because for Hamas, and their allies – Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and others, the human toll is a price worth paying."

Tommy Tuberville is in Putin's pocket. Tuberville is 'holding' these military positions open for Trump, in his hopes that he is re-elected. Ergo, Trump can then promote officers he perceives to be MAGA-friendly, so that he has key military leaders in place for his next coup attempt.

Please vote Blue.
