“An Israeli official… told The Washington Post that the ‘return to fighting in Gaza was fully coordinated with Washington.’”
Israel’s military launched a large-scale bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, breaking the fragile ceasefire with Hamas that has been in place since late January.
At least 404 people have been killed, with 562 injured, Gaza’s Health Ministry said.

You can’t make this up. The Trump admin is erasing images of one of the servicemembers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.
What an outrageous act of disrespect to one of America’s heroes. His name is Pfc. Ira Hayes, and he deserves to be honored.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

We do not know who these deportees are, why deported, if they have criminal histories. Tattoos aren’t evidence of a crime. Trump says they’re all criminals but without due process we simply do not know. Based on Trump’s illegal deportations of others, I believe he’s lying #Voices4Victory #Fascism
The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.
This is 21st century Nazism.
Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.
Where is the global outrage?
The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.
🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America.
They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.
