My city council declares an emergency with just about every agenda item, presumably due to some fine print in the city charter that lets them take shortcuts of some kind.

Once an appropriate amount of time has passed. Honestly, Biden's innovation is that he isn't waiting to be sad about it. He's very sad about the genocide as he tells the ICC off for investigating the genocide, as he ships more weapons. Hell, someone should tell him to erect a Gaza memorial next to the Veitnam War Memorial, to show just how much it pains him to kill all these brown people.

Gaslight much?

I'm not holding hands with a Nazi, and I'm not voting for someone who is doing a genocide. If that makes me a divisive asshole, so be it.

He's not separating families at the border, but he is keeping children in open air detention camps without sanitation or adequate food and water.

Migrants who cross the border illegally wait under open skies or sometimes in tents or structures made of tree branches while short on food and water. When the number of migrants was particularly high last year, they waited for several days for Border Patrol agents to arrest and process them.

Gee said there was “significant evidence” that Customs and Border Protection, of which Border Patrol is a part, has physical control over minors at the outdoor locations. For example, CBP vehicles occasionally transport or drop off migrants to the camps and for a time, gave out wristbands to organize migrants by when they had arrived.

“This is a tremendous victory for children at open air detention sites, but it remains a tragedy that a court had to direct the government to do what basic human decency and the law clearly require,” Neha Desai, senior director of immigration at the National Center for Youth Law, said in a statement. “We expect CBP to comply with the court’s order swiftly, and we remain committed to holding CBP accountable for meeting the most rudimentary needs of children in their legal custody, including food, shelter, and basic medical care.”

The thing about voting for the lesser evil is that they actually have to be less evil.

We've had two Obama terms and one entire Biden term since then.

 

The documents record hundreds of incidents ranging from the alleged blindfolding and beating of UN staff at checkpoints to the use of UN facilities by Israeli troops as firing positions during raids on refugee camps in which Palestinians were killed.

 

Their call comes as the administration faces mounting domestic and international pressure over what critics have described as an “absurd” and “inherent contradiction” at the heart of US policy on Israel’s war against Hamas: while the US attempts to ease the deepening humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s military campaign in the Palestinian territory, it continues to arm the country.

 

Germany’s foreign affairs minister, Annalena Baerbock, tweeted: “A large-scale offensive in #Rafah cannot be justified. Over a million refugees have sought protection there and have nowhere to go. A humanitarian truce is needed immediately so that more people don’t die and the hostages are finally released.”

 

Fresh Del Monte, the Florida-based headquarters of the tropical fruit empire, is arguing that it should not be liable for a case in Kenya because it is domiciled in the Cayman Islands. 

 

The latest incident came hours after eight people were killed in an airstrike on an aid distribution centre at al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, health officials said.

 

“And I think if this war continues, particularly if it’s continuing when we head to the Democratic convention in Chicago, then it creates a problem for us with the coalition that Barack Obama built, which was young people, progressives, voters of colour, that really turned out.”

 

Practices recorded by UNRWA include the use of a nail gun on prisoners’ knees, sexual abuse against both men and women and the insertion of what appears to be an electrified metal stick into prisoners’ rectums.
