Every one of us has had a car momentarily drive near us without us shooting the driver three times in the head. It is a level of bravery children possess wandering a parking lot. Even chickens cross the street.
For months, folks on this website have pushed a set of "gotcha" tropes to debunk the existence of famine in Gaza. In fact they are mostly debunking their own credibility on famine dynamics. As we await tomorrow's IPC report, here is a pre-buttal 🧵of some of those tropes.
🚨Scoop: Famine will be officially declared in Gaza for the first time by the international global hunger monitor tomorrow My latest for @TelGlobalHealth telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
On Data Purge Eve, many people stayed up late to save the CDC website. @charles_gaba downloaded the whole thing. 👑 A group of us are working to make these preserved data an accessible & publicly available resource. More to come, but get started here 👇🏻 acasignups.net/25/02/02/llink…

Several organizations have made it easy for you to reach out to your senators about this: act.nilc.org/page/77897/act…
THREAD. It's important for all people of good will to understand the Laken Riley Act before the Senate votes on it tomorrow. It’s unconstitutional. It’s horrific in every word and clause. But there is a deeper, more imminent violence lurking beneath its hate-filled text.
taking away people’s ID & debit cards & housing applications is functionally the most egregious (yes, SF literally does this) but to me it’s always felt more viscerally horrific to read when govts take away the small keepsakes that remind homeless people that they’re human beings
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote. propub.li/3VVlbGc
The conspiracy isn’t that it’s the wrong guy, it’s that the government has just been using the NSA to harvest location data and messages of American citizens since Snowden times and they had him illegally so now they’re following a murky, clumsy path of parallel construction.
Telehealth was something disabled people had spent years begging for. It’s a game changer when you have an energy limiting chronic illness It’s hard to imagine any legitimate reason to remove it - it will cause harm. Let patients access care in the way that is safest for them.

It’s really funny how many Dem operatives simply do not seem to understand that people lost trust in the Democrats BECAUSE they don’t seem to stand for anything. Dumb as hell to keep doubling down on this
Dems should resist any group or special interest that pressures them to take positions opposed by the electoral majority essential to win, whether that’s big corporations, rich donors, nonprofits, whoever. This isn’t about blaming specific groups for defeat - it’s about what’s
We archived, categorized, and published nearly 10,000 videos. Our archivists collectively put in over a hundred hours a week doing this work. Not a single media outlet wrote about our archival project.
I continue to tell myself that the world simply doesn't know what's going on in Gaza. No other way to go forward.
Israel is deliberately blocking humanitarian aid. It is illegal under Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act to give military aid to any country that does this. The Biden administration, in its final days, decided it would rather continue enabling genocide than follow US law
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱Secretary of State Blinken has decided that there will be no change for now to military assistance to Israel following the deadline the U.S. gave Israel regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza and that expires today, two U.S. officials said. The officials said Israel
Watch @tombateman go point by point thru the letter on what Israel failed to do and Patel’s nonsense replies. Tom: Letter says enable minimum of 350 trucks per day and you’ve got 30 days to do it, UN says an average of 37 have entered. That’s 1/10 of what you asked for Patel:
The way raw video evidence debunked the "Amsterdam pogrom" narrative in real time in full view of the entire world is exactly why Israel hates journalists. It's why it won't let the western press visit Gaza, and it's why it murders Palestinian journalists at every opportunity.
If you live in Nevada answer the phone, it may be a call to cure your ballot.
Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses: “It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures
