The bombs falling on Beirut and killing children come courtesy of Biden and Harris.

After getting people to support bodycameras while Ferguson burned, getting them to voluntarily submit to DNA swabbing for every law enforcement agency on the planet under the auspices of getting some useless and meaningless racial pie chart was another psy-op of the century.

Today is the birthday of my nephew, Jamal, who has been left alone in this world after the martyrdom of his mother, Dr. Dima, his father, Dr. Mohammad, and his sister, Ayla, just a week ago. Now Jamal is spending his third birthday all alone. Please pray for his healing 💔.

Cops murdered a baby by shooting it in the head and then murdered the baby's mother.
Then the cops later said the mom was armed, they lied, she was not armed.

If this country didn’t treat incarcerated people like they’re subhuman, this story would be all over every news platform. But because these are Black men and the US prison system is the evolution of American chattel slavery, people don’t care.
“In a span of just two weeks, a dozen Black men at Red Onion prison in Virginia took the same desperate measures, setting themselves ablaze. These are not acts of protest. These are human beings driven to extreme lengths, hoping for relief from torment.”

TW INFANT DEATH / POLICE BRUTALITY
I feel sick. this is so utterly disturbing. the dad knew the dangers of cops, he protested for George Floyd in 2020, so he tried to keep them out of the room to protect the baby. they forced their way in & immediately shot her in the head.

To every student and young person who stood up on university campuses against what are now officially deemed war crimes: you are heroes and your persecutors are trash.

Y’all…. Trump is going to kill everyone on federal death row
And activists are begging Biden to commute their sentences to life without parole.
He won’t
He’s going to stand by and do nothing knowing Trump will kill them all

Today is Universal #ChildrensDay.
It is also the 35th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
AND TODAY ISRAEL HAS SO FAR KILLED 27 CHILDREN in #Gaza!

It’s been 24 hours since I was injured, and all I want is to hear my mom’s voice. I've been trying all day to reach her; my family is only a few miles away, but the Israeli occupation forces have separated us by building a military base between northern and southern Gaza. They can barely connect to the internet, making it incredibly difficult to communicate with them. I’ve been denied even the chance to hear my mother’s voice—they’ve taken everything from us.

True story: I decide to take a taxi to work this morning (I usually walk). The Uber driver arrives & takes a look at me & says good morning in Arabic. I reply sabah el noor (good morning to you to Arabic). He said I look Lebanese & I said I am. He, his wife & his children arrived from Gaza only last month. He volunteers that he doesn’t speak English well & is struggling to settle down in Canada. His parents are still in Gaza & he’s terrified they will be killed by the Israeli military. I empathise. He asks me where my parents are. I reply they are in Beirut. At this moment he turns around, with tears in his eyes he says, ‘So you know how I feel?’

Graphic: Israeli army snipers killed elderly Hamad Abdul Kareem Al-Nahal in an attack on Khirbet Al-Adas in Rafah while he was trying to obtain food.

The state of our news media is such that Ben & Jerry’s is educating the public about the authoritarian implications of HR 9495, while mainstream news outlets have remained largely silent about it.

Tonight, I was deliberately targeted by Israeli forces. After receiving word of a nearby bombing, I jumped into my car to report . Upon arriving at the house packed with terrified people, I could hear their desperate screams for help from the second floor. The moment I stepped inside, the house was bombed again, and dismembered body parts of the wounded flew around me. Rubble crashed down on me and my colleagues; One first responder was killed, and while my colleague and I were injured, many others did not survive.
