⚠️ Israel killed prominent Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif in Gaza.
A tent housing journalists outside of Al-Shifa Hospital was targeted.
He was reporting until the moment of his death.
The final words of one of his last messages were a plea to people to speak out:
“Silence is complicity.”

Anyone shocked by the national yawn in the face of open torture camps on US soil, needs to grapple with the fact that this is what we’ve ordered soldiers to do abroad, or funded other govs to do, or have allowed to happen “over there” and it became normalized and now it’s just coming home.
People who entered the US legally and have no criminal charges are being held in the Everglades camp, according to records obtained by the Miami Herald. Maybe that’s why the government won’t release the names of those being detained. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Trump appears on Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs at least seven times—but did you know Epstein also flew on Trump’s plane?
“They did board with a young woman of indeterminate age. I wouldn’t be able to tell if she was 15 or 20. She was quite dressed up and quite made up, so it was hard to tell"

The median FBI agent today is a lawyer who joined up to prevent another 9/11.
The median ICE agent tomorrow will be a dude with a high school diploma who watched guys in masks and full tactical snatching and beating day laborers and wants in on the action.
