Israel is trying to deflect global outrage by promising more aid, but we know the truth: starvation, blockade, and mass killing are not accidents. They are weapons of genocide. Even if trucks move tomorrow, this is not a solution.  It’s a PR cover for genocide and the the world must not look away.  

Bring signs, Kufiyahs, Flags, pots and pans.

It’s all over but the official count. Georgia Republicans can’t win the Senate seat now held by Democrat Jon Ossoff — the demographics will drown them: Georgia is now a “majority minority” state with non-whites predominant.  EXCEPT. EXCEPT if the GOP can come up with a way to stop those un-white voters from voting.

And they have. This week, the violently partisan Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, announced that he is removing tens of thousands of voters who live in addresses that Republicans rarely haunt: office spaces used as housing [and] homes with 10 or more registrants.

President Trump is whining during his vacation in Scotland for not getting a thank you note after he claimed that two weeks ago the US gave $60 million worth of food to the Palestinians in Gaza, adding that he deserved to be thanked for this. Fact checks, Mr. Trump did not specify where these funds have come from or to whom they have been sent but last month. However, The Guardian revealed that the US had authorized a $30m grant to the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

First of all, I have lived in America for nearly 50 years, and I don't recall any presidents before him, Republican or Democrat, who required a "thank you" for any aid they provided in times of need. Why should Gazans thank this crybaby for something they have not received? Unless it came out of his pocket, why should there be a thank you to him anyway? 47 is very good in spreading misinformation. 

A former security contractor for Gaza's controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid distribution sites for GHF has told the BBC that he witnessed colleagues opening fire several times on hungry Palestinians who had posed no threat including with machine guns.

Life goes on, right? I’m not as certain about that as I used to be – or maybe I no longer understand the term “goes on.”

I’ve been pondering past decisions I’ve made in this life of mine – decisions of enormous impact, decisions that created my future, essentially out of the blue. Forty-nine years ago, for instance, I moved from rural, southwest Michigan to . . . ta da . . . Chicago. I’d been a back-to-the-lander for the previous four years, having transformed with many of my fellow boomers from antiwar activist and hippie to planet-saving environmentalist. I was also married, but that marriage – numero uno – fell apart and I found myself, in my late 20s, with my entire future in my hands. I loved gardening. I’d been raising barred-rock chickens. Every spring we made maple syrup. On and on. Love the planet, man.

But I found myself looking beyond the moment and knew I had a future to create – ooh, serious responsibility here. I knew I wasn’t meant to remain a farmer. What I loved was writing. And it was something I was good at. I also could envision only one way to make an actual living as a writer: journalism.
