Anera is providing urgent humanitarian relief to Palestinians in Gaza, including medical supplies like blood bags, hygiene kits, and food parcels for the overwhelming numbers of displaced families. Anera supplies assistance to only legitimate institutions to comply with U.S. laws, and as Hamas is designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department, Anera does not work or even coordinate with them, and is independently audited.

The #FBI is tracking increased numbers of #threats against both #Jewish & #Muslim Americans in the wake of the #Hamas attack on #Israel.

#ChristopherWray, the FBI dir, said the attack could inspire #violence in the #UnitedStates.

The greatest potential threat of violence in the US comes from lone actors, who can be hard to detect because such people are typically not known… ahead of time.

An Israeli reoccupation of Gaza would be a mistake, Biden says

President’s warning against retaking the enclave is one of his firmest efforts to put a limit on Israel’s actions

President Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday that a new Israeli occupation of Gaza would be “a big mistake,” comments that came as Israel is expected to launch a hard-hitting ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave.

“I think it’d be a big mistake,” Biden said in a response to a question from “60 Minutes” host Scott Pelley. “Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don’t represent all the Palestinian people. And I think that … it would be a mistake … for Israel to occupy … Gaza again.”

@emmreef @shoq. This is what happens when the horse race is covered and not the stakes. This sentence is positively deranged: "If Jordan is able to secure the votes to become speaker Tuesday, it would put an end to a chaotic and unprecedented two weeks in the House following McCarthy’s ouster." End chaos? The person who defied a subpoena? Who was central to #January6? Whose legislative accomplishments are nil? Ask the men @ #OhioState whose abuse he did nothing about if he will end chaos.

This is my life.

Every single fucking day.

A new early retirement or abrupt departure.

All yall who bought racist anti-Asian Koch framing to end the humanitarian drive to mask. Or who bought RFK/Wakefieldian lies about vaccines.

All yall. Social murderers who lost your humanity. To not be judged, to not stand out, to what? FOR FUCKING WHAT?

Return to the neoliberal subjugation project?

Fuck you.

@AlliFlowers thanks for sharing. This is a very informative article. What I got from the article (YMMV) : The MAGA have formed their own book distribution company to compete with Scholastic. Scholastic, to protect their market share, responded by pre-censoring books that support human rights. That action fits with the usual corporatist response to MAGA attacks. Corporations will not help us fight off MAGA.
