I’ve esp impressed w/Butch Ware dropping knowledge & intellectual rigor at a level presidential campaigns don’t usually see. Crushed it on The Breakfast Club despite attempts to derail. I was skeptical that he made political sense, but this scholarly Muslim Black man is killing it!

Despite Yara's fear of the Israeli shelling, she tried to reassure her doll, telling it, "Don't be afraid." Israel killed Yara, and her family couldn't find Yara and her doll under the rubble.

In 2011, Keir Starmer blocked the arrest of Tzipi Livni - Israel's foreign minister during the brutal bombing of Gaza in 2008/09 - over alleged war crimes. The CPS is now censoring Starmer's emails about how that decision was made. declassifieduk.org/censored-keir-…

🧵 With the Jewish Chronicle (JC) now facing public scrutiny and resignations over its lack of credibility, I’ve been reflecting on my own experience with this paper - a period in my life where the JC’s attacks made my life a living hell.
