Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I’ll give you the truth why I’m not speaker. It’s because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.

Israel’s war on Gaza is a genocide, says U.N. rights expert @franceskalb, who has just released a new report titled “Genocide as Colonial Erasure.” There has not only been a failure to prevent genocide, but it has been “enabled through the various organs of the state,” she says.
