"A few days ago, they pillaged & burned down a house in a nearby Palestinian village. Settlers have already killed many Palestinians [knowing] no one will hold them accountable.
IDF "are helping settlers to expel the Palestinians from these areas."
We can't "so much as disagree with the settlers, let alone fight bac...killing a Palestinian today is very, very easy."
The settlers tell us there is no law because we are at war, & that our land...now belongs to Israel."

Know your Christian Nationalist dog whistles: the “appeal to heaven” flag is the new confederate flag. It was flown by insurrectionists on January 6. And now it hangs outside of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office.

It's laughable to see Republicans trying to say that they're only in favor of "reasonable restrictions" on abortion, when many have supported a complete ban on abortion for any reason, and have expressed interest in banning even contraception.

This doesn't change my opinion of Cannon one iota; by allowing Trump to later move to delay the trial, but keeping the date for now, she is blocking Fani Willis from scheduling her trial on the current FLA date. And Cannon has substantially delayed the dates for all FLA filings.

Here's the thread, via Threadreader: #GOPfascists #GOPfail

This is what the GOP Fascist Party does. Nothing matters but what they want, and the only laws, regulations, or votes that apply are those that benefit them. Trump 101.

At Seaham Harbour on the Durham Heritage Coast in North East England, this is the 'Slope Beach'.
Not a soul around on this visit, but on that temperature-busting day last year, when weather records were being smashed across many parts of the UK, this spot was rammed with people enjoying the heatwave.
The pier on the left, with its lighthouse, regularly feature in the national press for the impressive scenes when stormy seas crash up against it.

As the only Jewish member of MI’s congressional delegation, I have worked to reach out to Arab & Muslim constituents who I know are feeling fear and anguish right now, & I have tried to reflect that empathy in my approach to this crisis. I ask the same of @reprashida. (1/3)
