Today, the Biden admin vetoed another UN resolution and pushed Congress to ship more arms to Israel. Also today, Netanyahu told the Knesset that Biden is an idiot and proudly listed all the U.S. red lines he has ignored.

Farris was arrested with 5 other Syrian labor leaders and accused of plotting to blow up the American Woolen Company mills. It was revealed later that he'd been framed, and AWC's bosses planted the dynamite themselves to set off white resentment against the Arab community.

This is a *must* read. I remember when the first rumors of this started leaking out, late 2022-early 2023 iirc. You couldn't believe it. But it's true. We have credible reports KSA border guards have killed *thousands* of African migrants trying to cross from Yemen.
THREAD: Somewhat interactive sample of horrors migrants will experience via the "Eastern migration route" which begins in the Horn of Africa & goes through Yemen & Saudi Arabia. Nothing graphic, mostly satellite imagery. Hoping to raise awareness here about Saudi border guard massacres.
