Al-Jaal said, “The whole camp is like a family. I call them my friends, they are my friends in illness, my friends in struggle. Because we all feel for each other, as we are all patients.”

“She fixed my face and did my eyebrows,” said Maryam Al-Shibli after Samar colored her eyebrows.

Great story!

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

REPOST if you’re PROUD of Greta Thunberg for what she does for Palestine✊🏻

In spite of it all, Sandy is showing up and speaking out. This shutdown isn’t a partisan discussion point, it is literally about our lives.

May we all find Sandy’s courage, and lift our voices.

It's happened to me several times. Sometimes I ask them to sell me just a few tablets from the order.

I like your posts & reposts, Charles, so I'm following you. Check out my recurring 🧵of editorial cartoons, pinned to my profile, to see if you want to follow me back.

Have you ever left the pharmacy because you couldn’t afford your medicine? That happened to me today.

Standing up for healthcare in the face of this shutdown is not about politics. This is literally about our ability to afford to live.

Great signage!

I like your posts & reposts, Tee (Tracy), so I'm following you.

Tell me again how Dems are trying to give Medicare to undocumented immigrants.

That does sound like a good premise for a spy thriller! I love that genre.

Have you read the Red Sparrow trilogy by Jason Matthews? He started writing fiction late in life, after a long career as a legit overseas American "spy" (intelligence work). He wrote three brilliant novels, then died.

White House officials have grown tired of her posts and Loomer’s efforts to work around them, several administration officials said. Top administration officials have launched a hunt to try to find out what motivates her posts and attacks, the officials said. On Wednesday, she claimed that Nicholas Waytowich, a U.S. Army official, was fired because she had identified him as the creator of Red Dot, an app that tracks ICE officials. An Army official said Waytowich is suspended and under investigation. “I don’t work for the administration, and I don’t control hiring,” said Loomer. “I’m posting facts.” Some White House officials have also grown concerned about Loomer’s access to Trump and suspected that she was being paid for some of her attacks. Several posts outside her usual national security interests, including a campaign against a Food and Drug Administration official and push for the administration to approve a drilling license off the coast of Venezuela, raised particular concerns at the White House, according to administration officials. Loomer has denied taking money for specific posts.

Honest I said someone should write a spy novel about how American adversaries could take out top NatSec people only by getting one of three right wing trolls to lie about the target on Xitter before WSJ did this story on Laura Loomer.

My cat Emmylou is such a goofball. I just shook out & refolded the fleece she likes to hang out on. Especially in halcyon weather like now, when we have the sliding glass door open, she loves watching chipmunks & squirrels & birds (& an occasional fox!) that visit the deck.

Look where she is now...

Not following you... *who* is only 45 and now a squatter?

This is sick. FOX needs to lose its license.

47's admin may be cracking down on the speech of comedians, but overall, they haven't a clue about how to do culture. Offensive gold bric-a-brac & $200 million ballroom are going in the wrong direction for garnering popular support.

That he is. Thanks for the quote post, JV Dunce. 😂 And thanks for the follow. Followed you back.

From 6 years ago, he’s still a festering zit today.

I swim in the ocean a lot, including areas where tigers (very rarely) attack people. I'm not in the least bit scared of sharks.

I'm the opposite of 47 that way, because I think being chomped on by a big shark would be a *fabulous* way to kick the bucket. Go out in a blaze of glory!

Wait a minute. Now I'm not sure which one was the last skit.

Was it the principal w/ the hots for Benito? I've been wondering, ever since he hosted before, when they were gonna make his appearance the crux of the comedy—since he's so famous as a thirst trap. I didn't hate the way they framed it.

I liked the last skit quite a bit, because it was such a wicked parody of all the sitcoms I grew up hating in the 1960s & 1970s. And the comedic timing of the actors' ensemble was tight.

But I can understand finding it cringe.

As the governor of Illinois said, pull your phones out, record and post everything on social media since we cannot trust legacy media anymore. Spread the news everywhere and everyone.

The logic of killing civilians by declaring them terrorists is not new. The Wehrmacht taught its officers during Operation Barbarossa „Wherever the partisan is, there is the Jew and wherever the Jew is there is the Partisan.“ thereby justifying extermination campaigns as anti-Partisan operations.

1/ Best origin story I've heard for him. 😂

But the actual origin story of his family is worth reading—in this blistering account from 2018 by his maternal uncle, a neuropsychologist who has volunteered for refugees & other immigrants.

3/ "I have watched with dismay & increasing horror as my nephew, an educated man who is well aware of his heritage, has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family’s life in this country."

2/ "In 80 years & five decades, this family emerged from poverty in a hostile country to become a prosperous, educated clan of merchants, scholars, professionals, &, most important, American citizens."
