1/ April 7th 2021:
Five Palestinians aged 9 to 13 were picking wild edibles near a settlement
Soldiers chased and arrested them, although most are below the age of criminal responsibility. Watch what you never see on tv. @btselem
2/ arresting a 13 year old CHILD, blinfolding him, then throwing stun grenades undiscriminatly into random homes.
3/ arresting a 12 and 14 year old boy.
do you think these children will grow up to be tolerant adults? fuck no
4/ arresting a 15 year old and a fucking 6 year old. detaining them, and sentencing the 15-year-old to 3 months in jail.
6 YEARS OLD, terrorizing them in their own land, on the inside of barbed wires
5/ I get the whole fucking geopolitical conflict, there will always be one in that region, everyone has the right to exist, AND CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CHILDREN AND NOT GET DRAGGED INTO THIS SHIT
6/ two more kids dragged from their own land while on their way to school. their crime: suspected of throwing stones over the wall.
7/ have you ever heard your own child crying and yelling for you to save him while someone is dragging him and trying to take him away from a playground? what would you do?
To sum up Flawrida’s new history of slavery spin:
Slavery in the US was a successful voluntary foreign employment, training and personal skills empowerment program.
People across the Atlantic abandoned family and clothes and jumped on ships for a piece of the new American dream.
2/ these volunteers hid deep in hot rat infested tight spaces inside merchant ships & even chained themselves to each other and to the ship’s beams in a form of a modern sit in protest to remain on the ship and not be asked to disembark.
3/ these foreign African workers, determined to live the American dream, overcome with joy and enthusiasm, didn’t even care about food while crossing the Atlantic. They all said: we will grow our own food and cotton when we get to the promised land. Hell we ll even do it for free
If Twitter ends tomorrow or this week, this is my most cherished memory of being in this hellhole.

My third favorite twitter event, when I assumed I was crazy when trump started talking about the traffickers and the border and I realized he was basically repeating what he saw in a movie, then, maddow confirmed it a few days later
I remember when former presidents left after a peaceful transfer of power, didn’t take boxes of classified material, didn’t get raided by the FBI but rather got together, roasted each other and raised money for humanitarian causes.
Watch this, then think : Trump.
It is insane
To be fair, this was trumps participation at the event to raise money for hurricane relief
Even when dubya, the guy who started an endless bloody war, black site waterboarding, the patriot act….was likable in these moments when he made sense and inadvertently predicted trump. Listen.
