There isn't really a media outlet that keeps a running account of the number of Palestinians killed at aid distribution centres operated by the Israeli & American-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. This 🧵tracks the massacres at GHF sites since it launched on May 27, 2025

Journalists in Portland: Try to get photos of gas canisters/munitions, either spent on ground or still carried by DHS. ONLY IF SAFE. Use long lens. Risks unknown, don’t approach.
This green smoke isn’t super common. Raised concerns in 2020. Documenting DHS munitions may help accountability later.

They killed Omar, a 42-year-old occupational therapist and sole provider for his family.
He was killed at a bus stop, on his way to take care of other people bombed by Israel.

With anti-ICE protests already ramping in the US, it would be interesting to see where this goes considering more than half of Americans, including Republicans, do not support a war with Iran.
Despite the overwhelming support among Americans for invading Iraq, it also led to some of the largest anti-war demonstrations in the country. In Seattle, 50,000 protested under the dual slogan, "Stop the war on Iraq; Stop the war on immigrants"
