Soon, they’ll be blaming Joe Biden
Ron Johnson to Keith Ellison: "Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable. You disgust me."

Network news just showed you exactly whose stories get attention — Guthrie’s mother.
Now ask yourself: if it were your mother, would the cameras be there? Would the coverage be the same?
Whose pain is treated as national news and whose is actively buried and overlooked?

Eagerly looking forward to the day that We The People stop naively thinking there's a political solution to the armed robbery that's happening in America, and resolve to manually put down the coup. Whether Democrats are fierce or reckless they're up against total lawlessness.

Imagine being charged with murder and defending yourself by saying “but look at all the people I HAVEN’T killed, don’t I get credit for that? Like all the people in this courtroom, for example.”

Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.
![A post by Hammam, a known Palestinian nurse here. It is a wuote by an account of a man named Nathan Kalman Lamb who is posting an excerpt from an article. The article reads:
Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies "the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw-and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken." Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive-via brain death-or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners' torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can't. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts as-is—a soldier.
Nathan says hes honestly speechless.
Hammam quotes him to say:
The director of the hospital where I work, Al-Shifa Hospital, stated that the occupation forces returned the bodies of women whose organs were missing. Another source also reported that the occupation forces were using a school in northern Gaza to detain women & civilians and harvest their organs](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ztkrqibfkvmwtfa64r25n4sv/bafkreifs4clyqslx544scmacf6lhpruangn2nnhs4cypijdl2t43amj7ay@jpeg)
