HOMICIDAL: “Stone-cold dead” DeSantis refuses to back down


Shooting people while they’re wearing backpacks has become all too common in the United States, but Ron DeSantis may be the first to openly imply that the backpack itself is evidence of criminality.

DeSantis has indicated that anyone crossing the border between the U.S. and Mexico while wearing a backpack would be shot on sight, has conflated crossing into the country with breaking into someone’s house, and has proposed launching missiles into Mexico, all in addition to his co-opting of Donald Trump’s 2016 promise to “build the wall” and make Mexico pay the price.

GENOCIDE: Packed Gaza hospitals warn that thousands could die as supplies run low and ground offensive looms


Medics in Gaza warned Sunday that thousands could die as hospitals packed with wounded people run desperately low on fuel and basic supplies.

Palestinians in the beseiged coastal enclave struggled to find food, water and safety ahead of an expected Israeli ground offensive in the war sparked by Hamas’ deadly attack last week.

Israeli forces, supported by a growing deployment of U.S. warships in the region, positioned themselves along Gaza’s border and drilled for what Israel said would be a broad campaign to dismantle the militant group. A week of blistering airstrikes have demolished entire neighborhoods but failed to stem militant rocket fire into Israel.

Trump’s supporters are quietly living among us


Many Democrats dread Donald Trump’s sprint to the Republican nomination and console themselves that his voters are almost exclusively coonskin cap-wearing, Capitol-invading, racist, supremacist deplorables.

But be afraid, my fellow progressives, because the real Trump voters are nothing like that.
