👍🏻 While a “two state solution” re-entered the narrative today, the grave and unjust reality in the West Bank wasn’t acknowledged. This is but one hollow aspect of the whole spectacle.

I was being a bit facetious with the Pres remark. You are probably right. She is contradicting Johnson for a reason and it’s not because she gives a damn about health insurance. I can see her clear as day brokering Johnson’s speakership with Trump on the phone, on the House floor. Funny!

Now there’s a thought! I was humbled to meet Mr Wiesel more than once in college. A movie would be nice.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

Trump isn’t the only one not going to heaven. Johnson is co-conspirator in chief.

13 October 1942 | A French Jewish boy, Jean Stolowicz, was born in Paris.

He arrived at #Auschwitz on 10 October 1943 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from #Drancy. He was among 491 of them murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

No need to hunt all over for Antifa headquarters. It's located in Arlington National cemetery. There are 400,000 members there.

Got the flu & new COVID shots today with the family, but my kids only got the flu shot because there are no pediatric COVID vaccines right now because dangerous anti-science lunatics have taken over the centers of national public health & are sabotaging them
