t's become impossible to discuss Israel's actions. The discussion immediately gets twisted into something else entirely. And yet the destruction of Gaza, West Bank, South Lebanon, South Syria, Iran continues. With a side order of Yemen.

More than 500 American citizens have been detained by ICE. Their method of counting is detailed, and it is likely an undercount. First they came for the immigrants, then they detained the citizens. projects.propublica.org/american-ci…
