There’s a unit of the IDF tasked with linking journalists they murder to Hamas.
This will surprise no one: they regularly make shit up.

Shameful. This is Border Patrol taking their tactics to the interior. A rogue agency for over 100 years, sees no problem with putting babies in harm’s way. If only Republicans AND Democrats hadn’t funded them for decades. Now they have free reign.
Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?
Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

Rather than escalating violence and destruction, risking regional escalation, the Trump Admin. should be putting pressure on Israel to uphold the ceasefire deal. This includes allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza and returning to the negotiating table for a permanent ceasefire.

One of the reasons we work to free our neighbors from jail is that pretrial detention causes irreparable harm to folks who are already struggling, such as unemployment, homelessness, and loss of custody of children. It destroys families and plunges people deeper into poverty.
More than 1 in 5 people are jailed multiple times a year
There is no "safe" way to jail a person – even a single day has devastating effects. And people who are jailed multiple times a year inevitably face exacerbated consequences of incarceration:
