Good news: Wilber Garces Perez finally had surgery to remove the bullet that was in his back for 11 days. It took far too long, and it's more proof of ICE cruelty. But we kept up the pressure, and Wilber got the care he needed. Speaking up for our neighbors works.

🚨🎥 “We will finally give them the most basic human right: to honor them and lay them to rest.”

Hundreds gathered in Gaza City on Thursday for the mass funeral of 105 Palestinians killed on October 25, 2023, when Israeli forces dropped at least 20 bombs on the Al-Taj residential block and surrounding buildings in Yarmouk Square.

Nearly three years later, it took Civil Defense crews, aided by Egyptian teams, 20 days of searching and digging through the rubble to recover the remains.

“We were able to recover 105 martyrs: children, women, the elderly, patients, engineers, doctors, nurses, and academics,” Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told Drop Site’s Mohamed Ahmed. 

Basal said some 8,000 victims remain beneath destroyed buildings across Gaza and called for the entry of equipment and logistical support needed to recover them. “If things remain as they are, we are talking about many years in which these families will remain beneath the rubble.”

Sumaya Bakhit, who lost 15 members of her family beneath the Al-Taj building, said the remains of three of her brother’s children, ages 9, 5, and 2, were among those finally recovered.

“We have mixed emotions—sorrow, pain, but also joy,” Bakhit said. “The feelings of loss are impossible to describe.”

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

ICE has a bigger budget than the Marine Corps & still conned Congress out of $20M more for bodycams. Swore every agent would wear one by August. It’s September and ICE shot an Austinite in the back. They say there was no camera. They’re liars with masks and a blank check from Trump.

It’s not “raising the payroll tax,” it’s raising the cap. This irresponsible WaPo headline makes it sound like they are talking about raising the payroll tax rate. Which they are not. It also makes it sound like Social Security is about to run out of money. Which It is not. 

As Social Security fund runs dry, some Republicans say it's time to raise taxes
Raising the payroll tax is gaining traction as a fix — even in the anti-tax GOP — to fend off deep cuts in retirement benefits.

I mean, I'm a public defender, but I would be hard-pressed to argue that my client who was carrying two concealed guns and a taser and knocked two people over "was just trying to talk" to Acton. This is really scary!
Asked about the man’s intent, the sheriff said: “I think it was to ask her a couple of questions. He was just, you know, pretty aggressive about it.” (Sheriff Greene has endorsed Dr. Acton’s Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, in the governor’s race.)

Great to know the Pentagon hired, in Kurt Schlicter, a guy who once wrote … (*checks notes*) about overthrowing the U.S. government by force and having "a red counter-insurgency" seize San Francisco and Los Angeles. Real cheering stuff. Charming, too.
A post I wrote at Twitter in 2018, commenting on a Kurt Schlicter piece for Townhall in which he breezily discussed besieging and occupying San Francisco and Los Angeles. I wrote: 

"(I mean, I'm no General Zhukov like the author of this absurd piece — but the terrain, the scale of the urban landscape and the armed populace would make it an absolute charnel house. Like … LOL wut?!)"An excerpt from Schlicter's 2018 piece. He wrote:

"… In other words, the blue civilian population is much less of a threat."

"A red counter-insurgency avoids the problem of a decentralized insurgency and insecure logistical lines. In the case of California, whose secessionist antics are approaching the point where President Trump could legitimately employ his power to crush insurrections, the tactical problem is relatively simple. For example, San Francisco is a hotbed of treason, but the populace is largely unarmed and is trapped in a confined area. You put a brigade on securing the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, then put a brigade on the San Francisco Peninsula to cut off the I-280 and US-101 corridors. Next you go to the Crystal Springs Dam and cut off the water. Then you watch and wait as the tech hipsters run out of artisanal sushi rice and kombucha."Schlicter continued:

"After about a week, they surrender. After all, you can't eat and drink smugness. LA is just bigger in scope — more corridors to cut off, but in the end the population concentrations in large liberal urban areas that are their strength also make them extremely vulnerable to logistical pressure."
