Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.”
Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

WE LITERALLY DISAPPERED / KIDNAPPED / BLACK BAGGED SOMEONE. The fact that so little care is insane. #freekahlil
No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.
In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.
Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

The SSA bans workers from reading a WIRED article about their own working conditions. If you need proof of a broken system, this is it. Transparency is key, but apparently, not if you're the one suffering. #Censorship #SSA #WorkersRights
New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

The Oval Office ambush will go down in history. In the US, it will be written as our President standing up to someone exploiting our country. The rest of the world will see it correctly—as two bullies in a public spectacle of ridicule, providing an excuse to withdraw support for defending democracy.

Trump's suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, especially after defending Putin's actions, is a betrayal of an ally fighting for its sovereignty. This not only undermines Ukraine's defense but also emboldens Russian aggression. Such actions are deeply disheartening.

Apparently it's patriotic to pay more. 'merica I guess?
Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

It's crazy that they ran on lower prices, then now it's all about paying higher prices to be patriotic. More like idiotic.
Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just told Americans to stop demanding things like “access to cheap goods” because it’s “not the essence of the American dream.”
