“Group of protesters with their backs turned to #Biden and hands over their mouths. They’re quiet. So far unmolested by officials or security”

“Leading the industry backlash is the National Rental Home Council, the primary lobbying organization for companies that rent out single-family houses. The group spent $310,000 last year lobbying federal lawmakers on efforts to rein in single-family rental companies and other matters, according to federal disclosures. It’s the largest annual lobbying expenditure the group has ever recorded.”

You can’t just go by the obscene number slaughtered to gauge #genocide:

“While we mainly focus on the staggering number of those killed & injured due to #Israel’s attacks in #Gaza, it's crucial to recognise an even graver reality: nearly the entire population of 2.3M is enduring dire conditions deliberately orchestrated as part of the ongoing genocide”

“We met the Moore family in the middle of the night, after running from tear gas and gunfire during Sunday night’s [#police violence on protestors]. Stranded miles away from our cars, we knocked on the door of a house with the lights still on. Irma Moore let us in ….

The Moores stayed, worried their home would be broken into. But the family is paying a price for that decision. When police use tear gas to disperse protestors, it seeps into their home”

Patel set to be MSNBC’s next “former #Biden admin” hire:

“Reporter: Canadian doctor who volunteered in #Gaza tells story of a doctor who was forced to strip naked and stand for 2 days by Israeli forces urinating and defecating where he stood

Patel: IDF should look into it…I don’t have more information

Reporter: Why would #Israel target and kill a grandmother, a mom and 3-day old twins

Patel: I don’t have any specific information, I’ll let IDF speak to own operations”

@Shdwdrgn

Your defense of #genocide and bombing little kids is fascinating. Good luck convincing people to vote for it.

“The missiles #Israel used to slaughter over 100 people in a school earlier this week were Hellfire ‘Ninja’ missiles, which deploy 6 sharp blades - shredding their targets to bits. Which is why Palestinian fathers and mothers had to pick up pieces of flesh and bloody bones and place them in bags in order to bury their #children.

3,200 of them have been sent by the #Biden-#Harris administration as of July 2nd, and likely thousands more [are coming]”

“After promising preliminary findings and a $1 million investment from the city of New Orleans, a guaranteed income program that began with 20 students … in 2020 will expand this fall to 1,600 high school seniors at schools across the city over the next three years. Deemed the ‘$50 Study,’ the program gives students $50 per week and follows their academic and financial progress. It's one of the first of its kind to study the impact of universal basic income on youth”

I wonder how much #Biden funded #Ferguson cops during his term?

“In this court document … #police claim a Ferguson activist accused of property destruction damaged a precinct wall by smashing his own head into the wall of an interview room repeatedly after being arrested”

This is why we can’t have nice things.

The report was not released to the public last spring. Why does #Biden get high marks from liberals for environmental protection?

“The creeks around East Palestine, #Ohio, were so badly contaminated by last year’s disastrous Norfolk Southern derailment that some workers became sick during the cleanup.

Workers … reported headaches and nausea — while shooting compressed air into the creek bed, which releases chemicals from the sediment and water”

A liberal literally tooted, “#Biden is awful on Israeli #genocide, but he's been stellar in other ways.”

All I can think of is, “Mussolini was a fascist, but he made the trains run on time.”

If #Biden / #Harris are committed to #ceasefire, I’d hate to see their committed-to-more-war budget.

Harm reduction is an empty promise given what happens in the bluest states right now.

Federal public #health policy won’t be getting any better in 2025.

“Look up civil asset forfeiture laws. You probably won’t be surprised that Joe Jim Crow #Biden was behind it. Mr. #Crime Bill himself introduced the bill in 1983. Under this #law federal agents had nearly unlimited powers to seize assets from private citizens.”

From hell’s heart I toot at thee.

“Folks who are traveling to #Chicago for the #DNC, please be careful about who you connect with …. They might be cops who want you to get hyped and drunk ….

In 2012, a couple of undercovers latched onto three out-of-towners who showed up to protest the NATO summit. They hung out with those guys, got high with them, and talked big ….

The two undercovers recorded the activists they targeted in moments of bravado and the state ultimately hit them with terrorism charges”

“People aren't opposing a #genocide to disrupt the #election.

The election is allowing people to avoid talking about the genocide.”
