Ahed was three. She was reportedly killed in a place where families were told they'd be safe. The crisis in Gaza is intolerable. The world must act, and the Israeli government must not stand in the way. Speaking out is our moral obligation.

Water your tree.

Fox host Brian Kilmeade encourages the Trump administration to rework their immigration policy: “Things aren't going to go good for anybody's mission on the Republican side if they lose the Hispanic vote”

Parents afraid to walk their kids to school. Workers afraid to go to work. Local businesses suffering. The Trump Administration said they were going after the “worst of the worst” but all they’ve done is create chaos and fear in my community.

Good point in a good thread. It's wild! Bill Burr lives in *Los Angeles* a city that is in every way more dangerous and worse than London!

They still do it to this day!

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Ah yes, student debt collective your work is done

Good book: www.cbc.ca/books/ripper...

The delta between what Biden did and how much anger he got for it and the absolute crickets Trump has gotten for making the student loan landscape *magnitudes worse than it was before* is absolutely one of the most enraging things about this entirely enraging era.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social sent this video to his 10,000 volunteers: “We will make the case for why we are best positioned to win this race — but we will always treat Congresswoman Crockett with the utmost respect. She is my colleague and she is a leader in our state. She deserves nothing less.”

I feel like this is sufficient grounds to never let Altman within 50 yards of his child ever again.

This happened on Sept. 18 with Rep. Summer Lee (PA-12), with a line that says "Bushra Amiwala is standing with me..." I asked Lee's team at the time and they said, "We were in no way aware of this email being sent, did not authorize it, and have not endorsed any candidates in this primary."

Bushra Amiwala is fundraising off of Crockett's announcement in Texas with a donation email tonight in #IL09 that makes it sound like Crockett sent it herself These happen often and I always find them odd and misleading since Crockett has not endorsed Amiwala and probably didn't know this was sent

that is…a new one for me.

IMO this also gets at another fundamental MAGA divide which is that most of them like Noem primarily want to pump out deportation content, which is going very well, while Miller genuinely wants to permanent reshape the demographics of American society, which is not

so many of these people operate as if trump will always and forever be president.

Breaking News: Honduras has issued an international arrest warrant for its former president who was recently pardoned by President Trump.

And on top of the obvious racism and sexism, Michelle Obama was coming from a place of addition rather than subtraction. She wanted to bolster funding to schools so they could get kids nutritious meals. RFK Jr. and Mehmet Oz's stance is one of literally slapping the food out of kid's mouths.

im slightly ill from this, it just keeps going when it should stop, one never ending train wreck of horror lmao

A group of former FBI agents are suing the agency and Director Kash Patel for allegedly violating their constitutional rights by firing them for kneeling during a 2020 protest in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.

Two of the main organizers of a marathon in Iran have been arrested after pictures circulated on social media showing women competing without the mandatory headscarf.
