Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

Barack Obama: "We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope — each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law — an offense to common decency — If we don't step up, no one else will"

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It’s no wonder that Trump has such a twisted view of war and sacrifice. And the utility of bribes.
Donald was seven years old, and his father was brought before a U.S. Senate committee investigating abuses in a housing program for war veterans and middle class families. President Eisenhower had been outraged to learn of the bribes that developers paid to bureaucrats and of the alleged profiteering practiced by Trump and others. Ike called them "sons of bitches."
As federal investigators had discovered, the elder Trump had collected an extra $1.7 million in rent-equivalent to $15 million today-before beginning to pay back his low-cost government loan. He was able to do this because a bureaucrat named Clyde Powell approved the paperwork.
Powell, who had never been paid more than a modest government salary, had mysteriously amassed a small fortune. (While it was clear Powell accepted bribes, the sources were never officially identified.) In addition to collecting the extra rent, Trump paid himself a substantial architect's fee. And he charged inflated rents based on an estimate of construction costs that was far greater than what he actually spent. All of this was legal, even if it did victimize taxpayers, veterans, and other renters.

6 months ago, in the shadow of the night, Israeli soldiers took 16-year-old American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim from his family. He’s been imprisoned ever since. He’s suffered from scabies & lost 25 pounds. Remember Sayfollah Musallet, the young American killed by settlers last month? They’re cousins.

The IDF has reportedly destroyed a cross at the top of Mount Hermon, located on the border of Lebanon and Syria. It was placed there decades ago by Christian pilgrims to mark the possible location of the supposed transfiguration of Jesus Christ. They destroyed it because “really didn't like it.”
Screenshot of a Hebrew language post on X from the account @YinonMagal 

1:19 PM • 12/19/24 • 37K ViewsTranslation of Hebrew post:

Good evening Yinon
Hear a very important and meaningful story that we had just now.
Today we went on an important mission at the crest of Hermon - the Syrian Hermon, as part of the efforts to establish the bases in the field and in particular for the winter that is about to begin there. In the briefing, we are told that the point to which the climbers and the people are going to work and place things is at the top of the peak (it is literally a kilometer north of the highest UN post on the mountain) which they decided to call - listen carefully - "The Jesus" and why - because there is a cross there that was built there a long time ago and it marks the summit, the place there to this day is called
- "The Cross"
We really didn't like it and were worried that from now on, no one would have a reason to see a cross there and call this place that...
Get a before picture - when we arrived at dusk,
And one -after- when we went out at night...
