We must not forget the 109 hostages still held in Gaza, each a universe unto themselves, and the over 16,000 Palestinian children killed in a genocide fueled by American weapons—part of the largest Palestinian civilian death toll since Israel's founding in 1948.

Ryan Ruby Bedazzling Bearer of Bad News The Germans, broadly speaking, didn’t learn a g.d. thing. I hate to generalize abt any country but their national “policies* remain abhorrent & bizarrely schizophrenic: they gleefully abet genocide of Palestinians but took in 1M Muslim refugees. WTH are they really thinking?🤔

The sheer idiocy of pausing your killing of children to let them be vaccinated against a polio epidemic you caused so you can resume bombing the now vaccinated children. Our government is f’ing morally bankrupt for being party to this genocidal absurdity.🤬🤬🤬

Joyce Carol Oates Splitting my time between Tokyo & NYC, returning here is hallucinogenic: our healthcare system is a joke; our public transport is 18th century; & this sign at Nordstrom informs us to leave guns outside. It’s Idiocracy—we are rightly a laughingstock convinced we’re exceptional.

It’s almost like there’s a double standard or something…🤔

Holy mackerel, Netanyahu & his Kahanist gang are getting desperate: heretofore, skunk spray has been used only on Palestinians, but now they’re turning it on the mass demonstrators demanding a ceasefire/hostage deal. (Meanwhile, idiot Biden does nothing.)

"Beannacht" never ceases to touch me, especially now, when things are so dark/depressing & madmen call the shots. Here's to every life being preserved, Palestinian & Israeli, no exceptions: "May there come across the waters A path of yellow moonlight To bring you safely home…"

Good morning from the nation lecturing all others on rule of law.

Can’t stop thinking abt this: hostages are as good as dead. Kahanists knew what 10/7 wld get them, made decision to get it, ruthlessly sacrificing own, gleefully slaughtering Pals. Only US cld have prevented spiral. May God help innocents, hostages & Gazans, no one else will.

‼️Man oh day…Mexico will overhaul courts—& legislature had to do so in a stadium. This is huge, albeit not necessarily improvement. Still, given our own imperative to overhaul our courts & anyway event’s importance, wants watching closely: Claudia Sheinbaum is not playing.‼️

For the love of God, Democrats, do something before this powder keg explodes…is there no one in the party leadership with a shred of responsibility or even basic decency? smhid
