One store, 16 surveillance cameras, and two murders in seven months.

The Holiday Market is a community hub in a part of D.C. where danger is always present.

"Here, life is cheap." wapo.st/dcstoremurders
A convenience store in Southeast D.C. had been the site of two murders in seven months.

Three more people were shot and injured at the Holiday Market on Christmas Eve — the end of The District's most violent year in a decade. wapo.st/dcstoremurders
No longer called "the murder capital" of the United States, Washington is one of America’s most prosperous cities.

Yet the residents of Southeast remain submerged beneath a crime wave that the city has proved powerless to stop. wapo.st/dcstoremurders

Iran vowed to exact "severe revenge" on the U. S. after a drone strike killed Qasem Soleimani, the country’s most powerful military figure, on Friday.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Soleimani was planning attacks against U.S. diplomats in the region. wapo.st/2MRephp
The killing inflamed tensions in the Middle East, upset global markets and sent oil prices shooting upward. wapo.st/2rRGLk9
As Republicans praised President Trump for a decisive blow against a man they consider a war criminal, Democrats expressed concern that the killing could be a dangerous step toward war. wapo.st/39FaWvV

Breaking news: Under secret Stephen Miller plan, ICE to use data on migrant children to expand deportation efforts wapo.st/35FvvpI
Senior officials at the Department of Health and Human Services agreed to allow ICE agents to collect fingerprints and other biometric information from adults seeking to claim migrant children at government shelters. wapo.st/35FvvpI
The arrangement appears to circumvent laws that restrict the use of the refugee program for deportation enforcement.

Congress doesn't want potential sponsors of minors in U.S. custody to be frightened away by possible deportation. wapo.st/35FvvpI

There is some confusion about how the #market economy works. Simply put: production drives it, but #consumption is the intended outcome. It is false, but a common misconception, to think consumption drives it. It means one overlooks the core problem of economizing production,
which is solved by market allocation. Consumption as driver might apply for production for oneself, such as Robinson Crusoe on his deserted island, but it is different in a market setting. We do produce in order to consume, but we typically produce specific goods, which, through
sale, earn us an income that we can then spend on goods to consume. What goods do we consume? Those produced by others and acquired through purchases using the money we earned. This means our consumption, and what we wish to consume, is not the driver of the economy. Consumption

FORTY BUCKS AND A DREAM: The lives of a Hollywood motel
The first thing one sees upon checking into the Saharan Motor Hotel is a man’s naked butt. He is lying on his stomach by the pool, shaved head glistening with sweat above a hairy back. Another angle reveals…/1
...he is wearing a black thong, hiked as high as anatomical constraints allow, which may be why the only other sunbather, an underdeveloped, fair-haired chap, has moved his plastic chaise as far away as possible, turning it every fifteen minutes for maximum UV exposure./2

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉
