According to news reports: - Only one shot was fired - She was shot in the head - The IDF says snipers fired at someone throwing rocks (why do you need to fire live ammo at someone throwing rocks) - She was 200 meters from the sniper This explanation is not credible.

Let's be really clear here: When conservatives say that states allow 'post birth abortion' what they're actually talking about is palliative care for fatally ill newborns.

As ever, b-boy bouiebaisse is insightful: Springfield dogs & cats is not a meme; it is blood libel: incitement to racist violence. I've been thinking about his recent column: their insane rhetoric is meaningless on the surface, but deadly meaningful underneath. Media are missing this.

The real debate about Haitians we should be having is that the USA and France owe Haiti many billions in reparation.

BREAKING: A state court struck down Georgia's six-week abortion ban, allowing clinics to resume essential care in the state. This is a victory for our right to abortion.

💥@Eran_Nissan: "I had to shower to get the blood off me. I stepped out & I see Itamar Ben-Gvir standing here on my street, in my neighborhood, inciting against Arabs & talking about the need to destroy the mosque while Jews & Arabs are huddled together in the stairwell defending
