Sergant Simha Lubling 890th battalion:

“You have to much china stuff at your kitchen. I was happy to help you residents of Khan Younes (as much as I had time to). GO SUE ME AT THE HAGUE BASTARDS” ->

This video is as clean a distillation as you’ll ever see of the difference between the depravity of the self-interested, ambitious political elites and the people who prioritize in their lives qualities like kindness, humility, solidarity, and a thirst for knowledge.

There are still nonprofits, professor consultants, news organizations, and Democratic politicians framing the problem with police violence as a “lack of training.”

classic patronizing NYT understatement here. Arming, funding, providing military/intel and vetoes at the UN all in support of what 56% of Democratic voters considering genocide is not “anger over Mr. Biden not confronting Israel more forcefully over its actions in Gaza”.

This is a total nightmare. After the cop shot Mayor Adam’s neighbor from behind, they went into this man’s home, waited 10 mins to apply a tourniquet, then arrested HIM and the neighbor/pregnant woman who were trying to help him.

She later have birth to a still-born baby.

We are on substack. Please subscribe. California is sidestepping real solutions in favor of locking away those they deem unworthy. It’s that simple and that cruel. open.substack.com/pub/allpeoples…

Just want to underscore the level of heroism underway here: Sen. Tammy Duckworth has been working to evacuate Dr. Adam Hamawy (who saved her life after her helicopter crash) from the hospital the IDF is besieging and bombing. But he and his colleagues have insisted they not leave

GW must end student suspensions, drop criminal and disciplinary charges, and meet with students and faculty in good faith to discuss their reasonable demands. The status quo is unjust, inconsistent with the university's own values, and intolerable.

We are faculty at GW.
We observed the encampments.
They were peaceful.
No student should be suspended or expelled for participating in them.
Draconian punishment for free expression goes against the entire ethos of a university education.

Can anyone imagine this lack of action by cops + prosecutors in any context in which a person supporting any progressive cause had been identified committing such crimes? A throughline in U.S. history is tolerance of right-wing violence against those seeking social change.

🧵 Gaza city | Warning ( ⚠️)

Extremely shocking footage showing the execution of unarmed civilians by Israeli forces. I obtained the scenes from a social media account of an Israeli soldier from the paratroopers brigade.

Execution of a civilian trying to recover a dead boy ->
