There are at least 55,000 vacant teacher positions in the U.S., leaving 1 in 3 public schools short on teachers.

We could hire nearly double that many teachers (94,889) for just 1% of the military budget.

On #TeacherAppreciationDay , let's show our appreciation by funding them.

U.S. fertility rates have fallen to to 1.617 births per woman, the lowest level in a century, per CNN and the CDC.

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

In the last year, our National Priorities Project team found that the average taxpayer paid $2,974 for the Pentagon — compared to just $346 for K-12 education.

We have the resources to fully invest in our schools. All that's missing is the political will. ips-dc.org/2024-tax-day-r…

An elderly Palestinian man recites adhan (the Muslim call to prayer) as Israeli occupation forces knock down his home in the village of Al-Jawaya in the Masafer Yatta area, south of the occupied West Bank, today.

When I saw her, she was 11 years post-diagnosis. Carol got her pension long after she stopped understanding the word “pension”.

“Alzheimer’s is ongoing,” Stuart said. “You lose the person gradually and end up caring for someone who is very different . It’s a continuous grief.

This sign is the first thing you will see when you enter Gaza, it says “I Love Gaza”, and all people who traveled in the past three years know it well! The Israeli army took over, destroyed and closed Rafah crossing, the only path to travel, to get into Gaza.

76% of Gaza is under an evacuation order. Most is destroyed. Nowhere is safe. Civilians have been attacked everywhere they were ordered to go. Most are sick, wounded, disabled, hungry. This is not an “evacuation order. It is a death march. #Genocide #Palestine #Rafah #ICC #ICJ

A reminder that there’s MIT students with family in Rafah watching footage of people sifting through bloody body parts whilst trying to convince their own University to divest from further developing the weapons that are used to slaughter them.

IF ISRAEL HAD AGREED TO A CEASEFIRE TODAY, THEY WOULD'VE FREED HOSTAGES.

INSTEAD, NETANYAHU CHOSE TO BOMB RAFAH.

ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT A CEASEFIRE.

ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT TO FREE HOSTAGES.

ISRAEL WANTS TO MURDER EVERY LAST PALESTINIAN SO IT CAN OCCUPY THE LAND.

This is what it is about for Israel, grabbing the land and putting up an Israeli flag. Yesterday, we agreed to a ceasefire, and today, they invaded Rafah. They're spitting in the face of the world. What a typical white colonialist mentality

Netanyahu refused to send a delegation to Cairo for ceasefire talks and spent the weekend trying to ratfuck the deal, and now Israel is complaining it didn't know what was happening with said talks and spinning a story about America stabbing it in the back axios.com/2024/05/07/us-…

'The Israeli position now is anyone who disagrees with them is Hamas.'

Watch & share my full response to an Israeli colonel accusing me of 'parroting Hamas talking points' on CNN tonight, and watch me calling out the Israeli military's Gaza lies, which even CNN has debunked:

🧵1/2
Since October 7, the flagrantly anti-democratic, morally bankrupt political theology of Israel's right-wing Jewish radicals, a worldview that justifies the death, starvation, and hunger of Palestinians, is becoming more dominant

Our colleague in Gaza - journalists where are you?? SPEAK UP

To eliminate any doubts, the primary goal was to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and grab the land.
