One of the things that continually floors me is how many schools—across the country—refuse FREELY OFFERED air filters even when the science is clear that they help cut down on all airborne infections. Some schools even ban them, despite students and parents begging to be allowed to use/provide them.

The city run long covid care clinics have long wait lists and there’s no way that most people who need them would even find out about them. I have no idea what quality of care they offer as no one I know has been able to get in. Meanwhile schools & city buildings don’t have hair filtration.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

On Saturday, thousands of “No Kings” events were held around the country. At around 1:30 p.m., No Kings’ Instagram account was taken offline. It left the organization without its biggest megaphone during the height of the protests. The account remained offline for approximately 90 minutes.

The US admin wants to take advantage of the situation in Sudan the way it's taken advantage of the situation in DRC. It stands by as its allies do the heavy lifting of razing, then swoops in as the usual wolf-in-savior's-clothing to pillage freely. #KeepEyesOnSudan

We received a call about an attack and went to support the family. This is 78-year-old Mustafa, a farmer from Abu Falah in the West Bank. Invaders attacked his property at 1:15 a.m. on Sunday, 9/27. Four of his vehicles, including a tractor, were burned, and the windows of his home were busted out.

El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"

For Israel’s E1 settlement plan to become a reality, it must address a persistent thorn in its side: Khan al-Ahmar, a village of roughly 200 members of the Jahalin Bedouin community and home to the area’s only elementary school serving Bedouin children.

ICE is opening a new prison in Alexandria, LA dedicated to detaining & deporting unaccompanied minors. If that isn't horrifying enough, it's being built on a site linked to high levels of "forever chemicals," or PFAS, which can cause health problems over time, especially in children.
