💢 Israeli Forces Shot Two Mothers in Gaza Refugee Camp Wednesday — One Was Holding Her One-Year-Old Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha reported Wednesday that Israeli forces shot his 30-year-old aunt in the chest while she sat with her three young children in a school shelter in Jabalia Camp, northern Gaza. The bullet pierced her chest and exited through her back, devastating her lungs and spleen, and leaving her in critical condition. She was holding her one-year-old son when she was shot. He fell from her lap and was found bleeding from one ear. Abu Toha reported that she is the second mother shot in the chest in the same Palestinian camp today, as Israeli forces reportedly deploy “subsonic bullets.” Her husband has been held in Israeli detention since November 2024.
Mosab Abu Toha@MosabAbuToha

I am so heartbroken. Israel has just shot my 30-year-old aunt in the chest while she was sitting with her three young children in a school shelter in Jabalia Camp. She is in critical condition; the bullet pierced her chest and exited through her back, devastating her lungs and spleen. At the moment she was hit, she was holding her one-year-old son. He fell from her lap as she collapsed and was found bleeding from one of his ears. I just spoke with my uncle, who told me that Israel has been using subsonic bullets lately. He said his sister is the second mother in the camp to be shot in the chest today. Please pray for her and our family. Her husband was abducted by Israel in November 2024, and we still have no word on his condition.

So an ex-cop-turned drug dealer who murdered four people execution-style, whom Jeffrey Epstein accused of killing him and is also seeking a pardon from Donald Trump says he found Epstein's suicide note seven years ago in a book. One of his lawyers says he turned it over to the court but can't recall what it said -- and it took three tries before his other lawyer could "authenticate" it. By the way, the court docket for his case shows that Nicholas Tartaglione has had 18 lawyers. He is serving four consecutive life sentences.

It was when Joe Biden refused to pass voter protections after Black people voted him in on THAT PROMISE in 2020 that I finally accepted that the FIX was ALWAYS IN and this system NEVER INTENDED TO PLAY by the very rules that THEY SET. Blakely from the top ROPE with the receipts

Always notably missing from the Blue MAGA blame game is any accountability or blame for the literal people in power. Somehow, it’s the fault of the left that Biden and compressional Democrats didn’t even pretend to fight for this.

The cover story in this month's @TheAtlantic is an 11,000 word feature on which restaurant has the best free bread. The cover story in this month's @curaffairs is a deeply-reported look at the impacts of the Cuba fuel blockade on the population. Read a serious magazine.

Palestinians high schoolers in Gaza striving to be journalists so Israel is more likely to kill them and put them out of their misery. One of the most disturbing things I’ve ever heard.

A 14-year-old orphan in Gaza told me he wants to be a journalist. I asked why, expecting the usual reply about telling our story to the world etc...he says "because suicide is haram". Apparently he's not the only who made this decision for that reason. Congratulations world.

@PodSaveAmerica Yeah, that's a bad answer that doesn't even begin to answer the question, and then she calls out his kids!? We need policy not rhetoric. Katie really fell off from her whiteboard moments in congress, she needs to bring the fight to the wealthy elite or she will become irrelevant.

@jamestalarico: “I owe everything to this industry (oil and gas)” “The idea that politicians in Washington think they can eliminate this industry is something we had to fight against, something we have to fight against in our own party.” “I’m a big fan of the renewables, but It’s gonna take an all of the above approach.” “Texas has always been an energy leader, and I want to keep it that way”

If COVID shots were given away for free because they "saved lives", why isnt insulin given away for free? Or chemotherapy? Or EpiPens?

IRS audit volume has been cut in half since 2010. Not because people stopped evading — because we stopped looking. Full story in my latest newsletter, “Refund The Police" 👇

@davidsirota @LeverNews yes! Despite Andreesen being involved, I think it's a great platform with really good content. Just the right place for you and hopefully a chance to knock down the boosted-grifters above you currently.

If we had a bigger newsroom, an investigation into this lawyer Tim Parlatore would be something we’d have done by now. He found a loophole to work for the Pentagon under Hegseth without having to leave private practice by becoming a Naval reserve officer. It’s insane. He represents people suing the Pentagon while working at the Pentagon, takes money from officers who want promotions from Hegseth, and works for god-knows-who-else. Good line of questioning here x.com/Acyn/status/20…

all jokes aside, graham platners success in maine is an amazing data point for left populist bernie-crats being electable in purple states. from m4a to stopping israel- centering the working class in your politics clearly works. total defeat of third way neoliberal thought.
