"In its annihilative force and ambition, the Israeli campaign is unique among modern conflicts. In fact, the term 'war crime' is not even adequate for what's happening in Gaza."

A searing, essential piece by Suzy Hansen:

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

Trump is trying to normalize the ICE raids/troops on our streets and the violence you're seeing as a result of all this. He's hoping for the violence in blue cities.

2) Inflame tensions, divide families and stir up more chaos
3) Placate the MAGA base at the expense of our economy.

Trump’s extreme policies are tearing the country apart and bad for America.

Cashing in: The real cost of Trump’s Middle East Tour
