    What happened in Kenosha tonight should lead every TV broadcast in the Midwest and across the country tonight, tomorrow and everyday until something is done. That police officer shot to kill that man in his own car in front of his kids. Pitiful and enraging. Pay attention.

    All of our cities have successfully created small armies that fail to solve or prevent the vast majority of serious crimes but are really great at stomping out student protests

    BREAKING: IDF inquiry found that it is "highly likely" Turkish-American citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eygi "was hit indirectly and unintentionally by IDF fire which was not aimed at her, but aimed at the key instigator of the riot", IDF says in a statement

    Dog… I get your point (I’ve read Freire too) but no one forced those guys to rough up Issa. Your thoughts are a little misplaced I think, and frankly make me way less inclined to read your take on the whole thing whenever the story is out

    Thinking about this response from Sen. Duckworth as I read about US doctors amputating little kids in after US bombs blew up their limbs, and how the doctor that saved Duckworth’s life won’t leave his patients behind in Gaza even though she’s negotiated a way for him to get out

    I asked Illinois Sen. @TammyDuckworth at a news conference today in Pilsen if she’s willing to call for a ceasefire. “I am not willing to call for a ceasefire at this point because that would not help the residents of Gaza nor would it help the security of Israel,” she said.

    Student journalists at Columbia are the only ones on the ground able to report out the NYPD’s imminent raid of their campus because the police is blocking other reporters from getting even close to the gates. Every single self-respecting news outlet should lead with that story!
