Israeli Strike Kills 4 Al Jazeera Journalists, Network Says

Yes! And when they do cover it, key words are missing from headlines, like - โ€œintentionally targetsโ€ and kills - itโ€™s unconscionable Israel is just openly admitting it nowโ€ฆ.

Iโ€™ve been thinking about that lag time while things go through the lengthy legal pipeline vs all the harm done to real humans in the immediate present. Our legal systems clearly werenโ€™t designed to manage an onslaught of attacks from within and thatโ€™s exactly what the felon is exploiting, itโ€™s gross

Israeli Strike TARGETS & Kills 4 Al Jazeera Journalistsโ€ - fixed it for you @nytimes.com. Youโ€™d think of all people, other journalists would properly capture the gravity and unconscionable nature of this insanity.

Great mantra! Now more than ever we need to wear our thoughtful compassion w/ pride - youโ€™re not a โ€œsapโ€ - youโ€™re upholding valued traditions. Iโ€™ve been targeted by Ted Cruz for being โ€œwokeโ€ but I simply care about others. Weโ€™re not weak, theyโ€™re insecure and know there are way more of us than them

Iโ€™m logging off the internet for the day after seeing this because I love your response so much. It restores my faith in humanity - respect, tradition, family, honoring craft, good people, good values!! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to improve the process of Federal

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸงชIf you, like me, care about #science for the public good, we need to fight like hell against this EO. It codifies racist, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-immigrant ideology into federal funding. Awards must โ€œdemonstrably advance the Presidentโ€™s policy priorities, an entirely insane & dangerous precedent. LFG๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

It genuinely makes me sick to my stomach. So many layers of repulsive I insult but my top are citing Ted Cruzโ€™s propaganda report as a โ€œstudyโ€ and demanding that โ€œawards must, where applicable, demonstrably advance the Presidentโ€™s policy prioritiesโ€โ€ฆ..FIGHT LIKE HELL!

๐ŸšจThis made me sick to my stomach. As someone who served on rigorous #NSF review panels, had many proposals rejected & am the recipient of a prestigious (now terminated) NSF CAREER, this EO demanding grants โ€œdemonstrably advance the Presidentโ€™s policy prioritiesโ€ is insulting, alarming & chilling!๐Ÿšจ

Photos of a starving baby in Gaza shocked the world. Here's how he's doing now Images showing baby Mohammad Al-Motawaq captured world attention last month. In Israel, they were used to support claims that mass hunger in Gaza does not exist.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป @npr.org, critical reporting on reality, mass starvation & Israeli propaganda: Salah, the hospital director says ppl don't have to take his word, esp if they believe reports of mass hunger are Hamas propaganda. โ€˜Let the international media come to #Gaza.โ€™ (Israel banned international press access)

โ€œโ€˜Donโ€™t be a dickโ€™ is one of the solutions proposed, along with a move towards genuinely democratic societies and an end to inequality.โ€

I feel like we should be able to do this, can we do this?!!

Thank you for highlighting this, a mother who lost her son, murdered by someone who appeared before her, and now his name/memory weaponized to threaten other parents all who happen to be federal judges, my god, itโ€™s chilling and so cruel, just gutting, where is humanity?

Thatโ€™s positive moving forward, at least in some ways, right? Do we know anything about active grants that were cut, or is that totally separate?

How do you think that happens, based on your family experience? Were they always right leaning, were there openings for radicalization, do they feel like theyโ€™ve been treated unfairly?

Consent is such an interesting word choice here, I think of consent as, to give permission especially regarding personal rightsโ€ฆIโ€™m not disagreeing, just contemplating, and yes to HOPE!!

Yes, and African Americans, Native people, other people of color, the intersectional aspects of who was and still is considered property. Itโ€™s what the whole maga movement is about. And we see how they treat immigrants. Fight like hell folks!!

The way GIRLS in their formative middle and high school years are referred to as property that were stolen, and thatโ€™s the big beef he has, is the clearest example of how entitled and abhorrent of a human trump is, also bet they were doing THE SAME THING at Maralago folksโ€ฆโ€ฆ

It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.
