After a massacre this week in Beit Lahiya, Anas’ colleague, journalist Hossam Shabat tweeted, “No cemeteries, no hospitals, no doctors, no civil defense, no ambulances. The living are under the rubble and no one can rescue them, the situation in north #Gaza gets more horrific by the minute.”
At least 109 Palestinians were killed in the airstrike that completely destroyed a five-story building sheltering displaced families in Beit Lahiya.

Tjada D'Oyen McKenna, CEO of the aid group Mercy Corps, said in a statement that the new IPC findings "come as no surprise given the unrelenting bombardment, continued decimation of what little infrastructure remains, and the insufficient humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza."
"Whether officially declared or not, famine is an imminent, devastating reality that should shame the world," said McKenna.

Stein/Ware- We ask everyone calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and an arms embargo against Israel to join us in supporting Stein/Ware, the only anti-genocide, pro-worker, pro-planet campaign that can win the White House and bring about the transformative change we need.
As Gaza goes, we all go.
Jill and Butch are committed to ending this carnage on day one of their administration. They will enforce an arms embargo against Israel until the genocide and the occupation is ended.

Jill Stein-  Ryan Grim of Drop Site News said “the Democrats platform on Gaza reads as if AIPAC wrote it.”

The Democrats’ official platform promises Israel:
• Ongoing, unconditional military aid and an official reassertion of “Israel’s right to defend itself” (a right they don’t extend to Palestinians).

• Vague support for ceasefire conditions that are entirely at Israel’s discretion, allowing them to continue the slaughter in Gaza (and the West Bank) until THEY decide they’ve killed enough.

• Continued diplomatic cover for Israel’s apartheid regime with a pledge to “oppose any effort” to criticize or “delegitimize Israel,” including UN sanctions and the BDS movement.

The platform also recklessly stokes the flames of a broader regional war by legitimizing Israel’s attacks against Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen – one that could easily set off a third world war.

This isn’t a platform. It’s a time bomb.

The Samson Option stands in contrast to doctrines embraced by other nuclear powers, such as “Mutually Assured Destruction” (MAD). Developed during the Cold War, MAD posits that nuclear powers like the United States and the Soviet Union could deter each other from ever using nuclear weapons through the threat of retaliatory strikes—that is, if one nuked the other, the other would nuke back, meaning neither would survive. Unlike MAD, Israel’s Samson Option specifically threatens its non-nuclear opponents.

Within a day of the shooting, the video of it went viral. A police investigation, according to court documents, named Nir as the shooter. Nir later claimed self-defense: Al-Adra, he said, intended to throw a stone.

Ten months after the shooting, the police have made no arrests. Al-Adra and his family continue to live as neighbors with the man who shot him.

@AnthonyJK For a while there in 2021 we’d reduced poverty and homelessness. The child tax credit had been increased, child poverty and hunger had declined significantly, people got an income to make the rent, the homeless were housed and fed in hotels, and people couldn’t be evicted- all paid for by the TFG. Then with a stroke of a pen democrats went back to 2019 while blaming their blue dogs and started shoveling the money into Ukraine Palestine and nukes.

Jill Stein- The Democrat’s candidate has made clear that she no longer supports Medicare For All despite 68 million Americans dying needlessly every year due to lack of coverage. She no longer supports a fracking ban as the planet burns. Without saying a single word, she assures the billionaire class that she’s all about maintaining the deadly status quo.

At any time during the past 10 months, the administration has had the power to end this with a single phone call. Instead the money and arms flow freely, and the genocide’s been given the go-ahead to escalate with impunity.

We can’t afford another four years of endless war, empire and oligarchy. Jill Stein is the only anti-genocide, pro-worker, pro-planet candidate with a path to the White House this November.

Less than 24 hours after declaring he’s working hard for a permanent ceasefire, Biden released another $3.5B in arms to Netanyahu. Hours later, Netanyahu bombed 1000 Palestinian civilians taking refuge in the Tabeen School—a designated safe zone—killing at least 100 more innocent people.

This is just one guy, from just one outlet. These “Biden is very upset with Netanyahu and wants him to be different” reports have been coming out throughout the US media since the early weeks of this ongoing mass atrocity, all of which are flatly contradicted by the White House taking zero meaningful action this entire time to rein in Israel’s demented genocidal aggressions.

Despite what you may think, the United States never stopped meddling in Latin American countries' affairs. If a leader denies the West access to resources or puts their people first, the U.S. government makes their lives a living hell while starving the people who put them in office. This has not changed. Only the faces who make the decisions have.

The chief rabbi is apparently furious Starmer has dropped the government’s legal challenge on behalf of genocidal monster Netanyahu, restored funding to Unrwa, and is about to restrict arms sales to Israel. Poor Starmer isn’t even acting on moral principle here! He’s just trying to stop the International Criminal Court coming for him next and he still can’t catch a break.

The cause was diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory drug that farmers began using to treat their cattle.
Without vultures, carcasses attracted feral dogs and rats. Not only do these animals carry rabies and other diseases that threaten humans, they are far less efficient at finishing off carrion. The rotting remains they left behind were full of pathogens that then spread to drinking water.
The authors estimated that, between 2000 and 2005, the loss of vultures caused 500,000 additional human deaths.

Turnings billion dollar problem of not addressing climate change into a trillion dollar equity problem: But #desalination is also the most expensive type of water to produce. The San Diego County Water Authority pays $3,400 an acre-foot for the Carlsbad water — more than double the cost of water it imports from other sources…
By comparison, the Santa Clara Valley Water District pays about $400 an acre-foot to the federal and state government for water it draws from the #Delta. However, that #water is not as reliable during droughts.

Our only hope is to organize the overthrow of the corporate state that vomited up Trump. Our democratic institutions, including the legislative bodies, the courts and the media, are hostage to corporate power. They are no longer democratic. We must, like resistance movements of the past, engage in acts of sustained mass civil disobedience, especially strikes, and non-cooperation.

On Dec. 28, 2016, outgoing President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia, ostensibly because of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election. Kislyak then contacted Flynn about getting the sanctions reversed.
That is the origin of “#Russiagate” which dominated US political discourse for years.
It was Flynn contacting the Russians to do a favor — for Israel.
