“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.
Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.
Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.
Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

.@JamesTalarico: I want to get back to the kind of capitalism we had in the middle of the 20th century in this country.
I want competition, but it’s got to be fair competition.
We’ve got to take on these monopolies, this consolidation, because again it’s fundamentally anti-capitalist.
Right now, our tax system literally taxes work more than it taxes wealth.
I’m advocating for a return to original capitalist principles where we actually reward work instead of wealth—an economy that creates fewer trillionaires and more millionaires.

You can't afford a house because Houses stopped being homes and become investment vehicles for people who already have homes.

These NYC apartments are standing empty, not because the owners don't want to rent them, but because rent stabilization laws prohibit them from charging enough to earn back the costs of necessary repairs.

We are back on the road after the Oktoberfest weekend in Cullman! Our next destination is Dallas, TX for Oklahoma vs Texas on Saturday. We have five days to get there, so the plan is to spend some time exploring Arkansas along the way.

Si quieres entender lo que está pasando en Brasil y por qué el pueblo le dará el poder a un ultra derechista con problemas con la justicia tienes que ver "Apocalipsis en los trópicos"; está en Netflix.
Explica como los evangélicos están destruyendo la política continental.

this poem from Bukowski, my god:
those who escape hell
however
never talk about
it
and nothing much
bothers them
after
that.

If you’re not American and curious why everything is going to shit this quote generally sums up what’s wrong with this country.
