@duckworth.senate.gov I'm in Evanston a few blocks from where ICE illegally assaulted that dude last week (after doing the same dozens of times at my kids' schools) and got buzzed by a Blackhawk helicopter a couple of hours ago. We're talking about terrorists who are attacking your constituents.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

"I support cyclists and their right to ride safely on the road but only if they follow the rules all of the time" is an absolutely unhinged thing to say in a country where we have drivers killing tens of thousands of people each year and speeding while playing on your phone is normal and accepted

I'm 41 and this was not the midlife crisis I was advertised. My understanding was at my age I'd develop an overwhelming need to date a high schooler, buy a red convertible, and get murdered by my closeted Nazi neighbor. Instead I'm buying running socks and playing too much Skyrim with my son.

Israeli forces shot all four members of the Bani Odeh family in the head, including their 5yo and 7yo. The 7yo, Othman, was blind and had special needs. This comes a day after Israeli settlers shot 28yo Amir Moatasem Odeh and stabbed his father.

While disappointed that Laura Fine did not prevail, voters rejected two anti-Israel candidates in this race—Kat Abughazaleh and Bushra Amiwala.

We were especially proud to help defeat Abughazaleh, who centered her campaign on attacking Israel and demonizing pro-Israel Americans. x.com/ap_racecalls/s…

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

ICE is a terrorist group, it's that simple. If they haven't been in your area and you haven't seen how they deliberately target elementary schools, landscaping crews, and tradesmen - i.e. people known in their communities as not being a threat to anyone - kindly feel free to shut the fuck up.

Since "Judge" Reyes is now a top military planner, she/they can report to Fort Benning at 0600 to instruct our Army Rangers on how to execute High Value Target Raids...after that, Commander Reyes can dispatch to Fort Bragg to train our Green Berets on counterinsurgency warfare.

I read the words of our Palestinian colleague Rasha Abou Jalal from Gaza and I feel such shame that the world is allowing this to happen; that the U.S., under Democrats and Republicans, facilitates this campaign of terror. Read Rasha’s full report 🔽 www.dropsitenews.com/p/palestinia...
The airstrikes last night killed more than 400 Palestinians, including 174 children, 89 women, and 32 elderly people.

We’re still in shock. My eight-year-old daughter can no longer sleep.

I tried to comfort her, to help her sleep, but she kept waking up crying. She told me, “Mama, every time I close my eyes, I feel like another bomb is falling on us.”

I lay beside her to soothe her. This morning, I discovered she had wet herself in fear.

My 12-year-old, Saida, keeps asking me, “Mama, will the planes come back again?” I have no answer for her.

How can I reassure her when I no longer believe I will wake up tomorrow?

I looked into my husband’s weary, burdened eyes and asked him, “When will this nightmare end?” He replied, “We are alone in this world. No one cares.”
