The flour massacre, the tents massacre, the hospital massacre, the refugee camp massacre, the ‘safe corridor’ massacre, the endless massacres, in homes, on the streets, in tents, on foot— eight months of massacre after massacre after massacre.

🚨 There are SIXTY-NINE Cop Cities being built or already built since 2020 across the US.
These urban counter-insurgency training centers are called euphemisms like "public safety facility."
The only states without plans for this type of project are ND, VT & WY.

COVID advocacy groups are doing an incredible job on extremely limited resources pushing back on potential changes to the CDC's COVID isolation guidelines.
But where are the labor unions? Forcing people back to work when they are sick is a critical labor issue.

The way there is no media coverage on the protest tells me everything I need to know. – at Montgomery, AL

For all of those tired of being sick.
ALT Improve Your Mask Cloth VERY POOR Skip this. All we had at start but poor for real protection. Stops droplets but not aerosol. Rubs on nose so less comfortable. Surgical POOR Designed for droplets, not aerosol. Loose fitting. Leaks heavily on sides. Rubs on nose so less comfortable. KN95 BETTER Respirator. Much better than surgical. Ear loops means there can be some leakage on sides. Proper fit doesn't rub nose. N95 BEST Respirator. Headbands seal better than ear loops. Fit test for better protection. Get a good mask that fits your face and that you will wear. KN95 and N95 can be reused. Assign different mask per day of week. Good until dirty or elastic issues. Avoid handling front of mask after wearing.

We asked 10 people in Gaza to record moments of their day. What they sent us was inspiring and heartbreaking. The most mundane of tasks has become impossibly hard and the fear of being killed is constant and palpable.
Watch our latest #AJCloseUp episode, 'One Day in Gaza' ⤵️

There’s not a single resistance tactic which Palestinians haven’t already tried in over 100yrs of anti-colonial struggle. Violent nonviolent peaceful diplomatic symbolic you name it.
You can’t expect Palestinians, who are deprived of basic rights, means & resources,

This is horrific. Doctors at Al-Shifa trusted the UN & the WHO to safely evacuate them and their patients and instead they allowed the IOF to assault and detain doctors and patients and now they won’t tell anyone where they are or what happened.

New York’s Adult Survivor Act is getting alot of attention because many high-profile people are being sued for sexual assault.
BUT “more than half were prison-related claims against the state … with hundreds of additional filings naming NYC’s department of corrections.”
The New York Adult Survivors Act opened a yearlong window for survivors of sexual assault to file civil suits past the statute of limitations. That window closes this week
Diddy, Jamie Foxx, Cuba Gooding Jr., Axl Rose, Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, Marcellus Wiley, Jimmy Iovine, Doug Morris, LA Reid, Russell Brand, Marilyn Manson, Harve Pierre and more have been sued under this act

CURRENTLY: Workers are removing the contents of this building illegally.
There is a FULL VACATE due to a fire several years ago. It's not only dangerous for the workers. It's taking advantage of a family.
If you see work here call 311! @Brownstoner

Protests will need to redouble as Dem politicians call for ceasefire to resist being pacified away from the real goal: Palestinian self-determination in their homeland and a drastic limit to US funding for apartheid. And so that all those killed in the past month aren’t seen as…
