Hopefully, the Biden administration will follow through.

"After the war’s detritus is cleared, the real work of rebuilding can finally begin...
A vast amount of building material would have to be brought in through Gaza’s heavily controlled border crossings. In the past, #Israel put restrictions on key materials...
If the pace of reconstruction mirrors previous conflicts, the #UN estimates it will take 80 years to rebuild all of Gaza’s destroyed homes."

"I worked as a trauma surgeon in #Gaza from March 25 to April 8. I’ve volunteered in #Ukraine & #Haiti, and ... I’ve seen #violence & worked in conflict zones. But of the many things that stood out about working in a #hospital in Gaza, one got to me: Nearly every day I was there, I saw a new young #child who had been shot in the head or the chest, virtually all of whom went on to die. Thirteen in total."

"Willis indictment... is not only a grand narrative of what Smith characterizes as an attempt to defraud the #USA. It is also the tale of a frame-up, a grotesque travesty of justice in which the power of government was used to traduce and attempt to destroy an innocent and defenseless citizen.
As such, it tells us not just what #Trump did to try to hold onto power, but also what he will do if he ever gets hold of it again."

"Even when people in this group knew they weren’t the best off, what kept them from feeling that they were at the very bottom was the color of their skin."

I would post a meme of an LBJ quote, but my instance can't post images lately. (Annoying) So here's the quote in text form.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

"He’d been disciplined by medical boards in over a dozen states, lost privileges in multiple hospitals and settled federal allegations of fraud, admitting that his company had performed procedures without any documented need....
And yet, after all of that, McGuckin is still seeing patients today, still adding to the nearly $50 million he has earned in the past decade in federal insurance reimbursements."

"Describing the origins of these flash mobs of rage will do more to serve audiences than merely repeating the lies told by propagandists, even to debunk them. People don’t just need to know that something they’ve shared isn’t true.
They need to know who had an interest in showing it to them in the first place. Who wanted them to be mad about it, and who’s getting something out of that anger."
