It's beyond ethnic cleansing, even.

Gaza is “sealed off from the world” & facing a “death sentence” given the long-time denial of aid – primarily food, water, fuel & medical supply and the targeted destruction of basic infrastructure - akin to being “sealed off from the world in the huge concentration camp.”

This is a Holocaust.

That is so touching. There are so many stories like this. Hachiko is probably the most famous (I believe Richard Gere was in a movie shoot him).

But every story like yours is so touching and wonderful to hear. Thank you for sharing it. It helps us all appreciate what we have and not to take it for granted.

Local Democratic Committees have been calling for a 50 state strategy ever since back when I was volunteering for Obama - and probably even before.

Maybe some day they'll do it, but as long as Dem strategists keep talking about how critical Maine or Michigan or Pennsylvania etc is, it sure don't seem like they've gotten the message yet.

From @senwhitehouse on 🦋 40mins ago:

Tonight seems to be the ceremonial kickoff of President Trump’s campaign to interfere in the November election. Trump has badly lost independent voters, even MAGA is disheartened; he is failing and unpopular, and he’s dragging his party down with him in the midterms.

We are witnessing a failed, unstable president now trying to misuse the powers of the federal government to taint an American election, backed by his coterie of creepy billionaires.

A 28-year-old U.S. citizen, Sunny Naqvi, was detained by DHS, for 43 hours, after landing at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

She wasn’t charged with a crime, and she wasn’t accused of doing anything illegal…

Agents reportedly detained her over what they called a “curious travel history.”

Outrage over Trump’s bill reclassifying #HigherEd courses in nursing, architecture, accounting, teaching & other professions as not a ‘professional degree,' adversely impacts status of such programs for the purposes of federal #StudentLoans.

How stupid can you get?

Like I'd really want to go to work in a skyscraper designed by a non-professional. Or have a person w/no professional standing or qualifications administer my healthcare while in hospital. Or teach my kids...

Trump's so desperate to salvage his justifiably tanking rep & popularity he's now creating & resurrecting alternative "facts" - overt lies based on self-serving opinion & allegations against Obama, "Dem lawfare," eg., w/zero evidence. Ie, distractions.

He just went off script to go greet & acknowledge the Italian parachutists who'd just performed in his honor. He was then "guided back' b/c Meloni wanted to get back on script:

Anybody else on the US East Coast notice cuttings from plants eg Basil, mint, etc can no longer be used to propagate? Esp plants bought in supermarkets. Those plants - now so stressed from so many plants being crammed into a small plastic container w/their roots so intertwined you can't separate them - die out quickly & are essentially useless as living sources of fresh herb. Taking a cutting & rooting it in water had til now been the only hedge against totally wasting your money.

Ben Rhodes on MSNBC:

The fact they repatriated the 2 victims who survived the last bombing of a boat Trump carried out indicates they were not criminals. If they were found to be trafficking drugs, they'd be brought back here to be prosecuted, we wouldn't be releasing them. We have to be concerned that Trump's administration may be just killing fishermen.

OMG. The comparisons.

Look at the East Wing as it was and that big, garish, warehouse lacking in all character that Trump plans to build, after having first reduced to rubble where history, good taste & a nation's pride once stood.

It's OUR house, not TRUMP'S house.

Melania did a far better, far more respectful job during Trump 1.0. She actually RESTORED things - even restored the Rose Garden to its 1962 state, which Trump has now obliterated with a concrete slab.

And there should be a limit to what % of community resources they get to gobble up.

Trump doesn’t care about keeping DC residents safe. When rioters violently stormed the Capitol & there were repeated requests for the National Guard, he failed to act. Then he released 1,500 of those violent insurrectionists from jail.
