The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS!

Israel is using existing ceasefire agreements to establish new realities on the ground, projecting itself as the regional hegemon by launching attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Less comfortable for genocide-supporting Zionists is not the same thing as less safe for Jewish people. And the equation of Zionism with Judaism is itself antisemitic.

Generalizing the actions of one negatively racialized person onto an entire grouping of people is a defining characteristic of racism and nationalism.
Likewise, the dastardly deeds of positively racialized people remain individualized.

Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

Found out an old friend and co-worker of mine, an addict, had an aneurism that paralyzed him from the neck down and will kill him in the coming days.
They released him from the hospital bc he had no insurance and he’s dying on someone’s couch.
