I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Amani. Amani’s husband was martyred and she is raising her five boys on her own (she told me they all want to be doctors), Batoul, 13, Mohammed, 11, Hassan, 9, Omar, 5 and Youseff, 3. Both Amani and Omar have serious injuries and need care.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

When I was in Palestine I saw where the Israeli military was shooting holes in Palestinian's water tanks, and that's not all they were doing. That was in 2008. They've been systematically trying to dehumanize Palestinians for a lot longer than five years. Glad this data is surfacing.

The effects of the genocide are profound; it is truly another war. You find yourself alone, surrounded by destruction, with no home and no future. We are still reeling from the shock. Be with us, support us, and don't forget us, you are truly the oxygen we breathe.

You think a life filled with complaining won't translate into a habitual continuation about death? As Aerosmith said, dream on (you pathological liar).

Only I can stop narcissism.
Trump: "I was recently at an event and I saw that France was celebrating Victory Day, but we didn't. And I saw France was celebrating another Victory Day for World War 2. And other countries were celebrating. They were all celebrating. We're the one that won the wars."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
