The daily horrors in Gaza: Israeli government bombs children and their parents at a polio vaccination facility.

I agree. It feels like the Dem establishment is explicitly saying, “We don’t need or want the Muslim/Arab vote and we owe you nothing.” Trump has embraced this and (1) met with imams in Michigan that Harris refused to meet with and (2) is now going to visit Dearborn when Harris declined. This has long term implications whether or not Trump wins. Because voters will remember that a Republican candidate at least acknowledged that their vote was worth getting.

The architect of the Muslim Ban is making a campaign stop in Dearborn. People in this community know what Trump stands for - we suffered through it for years. I’ve refused a sit down with him although the requests keep pouring in.
Trump will never be my president.
To the Dems - your unwillingness to stop funding & enabling a genocide created the space for Trump to infiltrate our communities. Remember that.

I spoke to more than two-dozen voters in Dearborn. My conclusion: Kamala Harris is in trouble thetimes.com/world/us-world/…
John Taylor retweeted
The Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan — a Democrat — will not endorse Harris, citing Gaza.
He tells me people should “vote your moral conscience.”
@AHammoudMI and I also spoke about the failure of U.S. media to humanize the suffering of the Palestinian and Lebanese people.
Incomprehensible. That a mind could pivot so quickly from photos of mutilated children to the price of groceries. This kind of apathy or amorality takes practice.
Harris: “I don’t know anyone who has seen the images who would not have strong feelings…much less those who have relatives who’ve been killed.
I also do know that many people who care about this issue care about bringing down the price of groceries…”

Yousef was delivering fresh produce just today and then Israel targeted and killed him. My heart is absolutely shattered.
I interviewed farmer Yousef Abo Rabee for an article on agriculture in Gaza to be published by @intifada soon. Israel just killed him.

Genocidal maniac Netanyahu is burning Palestinians alive, bombing hospitals, starving people, and killing aid workers.
When will our country stop funding this madness? When?
John Taylor retweeted
If you haven't eaten for 12 days, you're beyond the "risk of going hungry", you're starving to death
No food has entered northern Gaza since the start of October, putting 1 million people at risk of going hungry, the World Food Programme says cnn.it/4eGUqww

I don't think I care as much about demystifying poetry for people as much as getting them interested in mystery – at Vermont, USA

Hajj Kamel Ahmad Jawad's wife and four children said in a statement that Jawad spent his last days near the main hospital in his village, Nabatieh, “to help the elderly, disabled, injured, and those who simply couldn’t financially afford to flee”
