“...And He knows all that is on land and in the sea; and not a leaf falls but He knows it; and neither is there a grain in the earth's deep darkness, nor anything: living or dead, but is recorded in [His] clear decree.”

#Palestinian death is treated as a byproduct of #Israeli vulnerability. The attempts to transform the conversation on Israeli state violence to a series of stale talking points about Hamas rockets reflect the thorough dehumanization of Palestinians. palestineandpraxis.weebly.com

I see the daughter of millionaire doctors, regular TV news guest, and Berkeley PhD in literature is playing “working-class” again. How poorly does this rich kid view us working-class New Yorkers that she thinks we stand behind the murder of a homeless man? Speak for yourself.

We don't know enough to judge what happened to Jordan Neely, but lots of people who don't live in New York and lots of people who don't ride the subway have a lot of opinions on this and they need to take a seat. It's working class New Yorkers who have to face down this violence.

I'm a New Yorker and like all New Yorkers we're in this situation every day and don't kill anyone. We and they are in this situation because this city is giving trigger happy Trumpian meatheads like you overtime instead of investing in our health care and housing, tough guy.

Real New Yorkers know how respond to a neighbor like Jordan Neely.
We offer him food he's asking for.
We use deescalation techniques.
We stand between him and anyone he may be arguing with.
We don't choke him to death.
Meathead cowards do that, not New Yorkers. #JordanNeely

Heartbreaking news: Khader Adnan has died in Israeli prison after 87 days of being on hunger strike.
This was the 10th time Israel arrested him, placing him under administrative detention. They never filed any charges against him. Never gave him a trial.
They killed him.

We were driving home from a park. I was driving, and had my two kids in the back. Suddenly we see the flashing lights.
