United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on the road to “further atrocity crimes (Rafah).”
"Some of them had their hands tied, which of course indicates serious violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, and these need to be subjected to further investigations."

Even Newsom and the Mercury News line up behind Trump’s three justices to criminalize homelessness contending that “judges have gone too far in ordering local governments to offer “adequate shelter” and other services before clearing encampments.”

Multiple articles in response to the immolation try to paint the deputies as compassionate, highlight how there was an Uber outside waiting to take the Gouldings to their temporary housing, and evade the foundational violence of this event. Taking away an elderly person’s home is immensely violent. A system that makes housing a for-profit enterprise where this fundamental necessity of life can be taken away at a moment’s notice is a violent system.

Biden’s block-busting bombs being used for killing fields of tents in the civilian safe area: Amr was in the tent with his aunt and three cousins. A shell exploded near the tent. Shrapnel tore apart his aunt’s leg and critically injured his cousins. Amr frantically tried to help them. A second shell exploded. Shrapnel ripped through Amr’s stomach and exited from his back.
Amr stood up. He walked out of the tent. He collapsed… The empty tent, occupied the day before by Amr’s family, was obliterated.

The Biden administration is saying with its connect on #AlShifa that whatever bogus reasons are provided this week to safeguard civilians will be believed so that Israel can attack and make #Rafah unlivable.

@AnthonyJK @web3isgreat You don’t think there’s a pardon baked in, or a commuted sentence? Michael Milken’s sentence was commuted to 22 months by fabulous failure Clinton and he was eventually pardoned by #TFG. He used his loot to build an empire of charter schools, bled public education, and funded white conservative politicians in CA.

“He always told us that you had to triple your effort to get ahead,” the brother, Martín Suazo Sandoval, told the Associated Press from Honduras. “He said it didn’t matter what time or where the job was, you had to be where the work was.”

At 1:28 a.m. Tuesday, the work was on the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Suazo and seven men with stories very much like his — migrants from the neighboring countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico — were filling potholes on the region’s major span on a raw March night. They were doing a backbreaking job at a wretched hour, one that many other Americans simply can’t or won’t do ― all so that their neighbors could drive safely to their warm, comfortable office cubicles in the dawn’s early light.

Will Brunch at the Inquirer- When the Dali cargo ship demolished that bridge support on Tuesday, it also obliterated all the ridiculous lies and myths our demagogues have been spreading around immigration. There were no sex traffickers aboard the Key Bridge that night. Nobody was dealing fentanyl. They were not “animals,” but fathers and husbands like Suazo and Luna, whose wife occasionally showed up in her food truck to bring the men tacos and pupusas. They were filling potholes so their children could have an even better life.

These six workers who perished were not “poisoning the blood of our country,” they were replenishing it. This is a moment of clarity when we need to reject the national disease of xenophobia and restore our faith in the United States as a beacon for the best people like Maynor Suazo. They may have been born all over the continent, but when these men plunged into our waters on Tuesday, they died as Americans.

Craig Mokhiber- The U.S. has claimed — entirely falsely, by the way — that the ceasefire demand is conditional on the release of hostages and, secondly, that the resolution itself is nonbinding. Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., made these claims in the session of the Security Council after the adoption of the resolution. Both of these claims are completely false and have no legal grounding. The U.N. Charter in its Article 25, subsequent decisions of the International Court of Justice have made this undisputable. Security Council resolutions are binding on all member states. And the claim that the ceasefire is to be conditioned on other factors like the release of hostages, this is completely false, as well.

#GenocideJoeIsAIPACsManchurianCandidate

Early in his thinking, Raphael Lemkin, the creator of the theory of genocide, thought a people’s artistic, religious, literary, and iconographic heritage so vital to their thriving that to wipe it out completely would still count as a vast crime even if the plunderers left the people alive. He called such an act “vandalism,” later, “cultural genocide,” and like most of his better ideas, it did not survive the abattoir of secretarial drafts and committee debates on its way to codification in the 1948 Genocide Convention.

#2MillionStarvingForABidenCristmas: Yes, you read that right: Nearly six months into the Israeli invasion after the October 7 attacks, every single Gaza resident is at risk of at least crisis-level food insecurity — defined as households having high levels of malnutrition or resorting to “irreversible” coping mechanisms like selling livestock or furniture to afford even an insufficient diet.

It’s a crisis that has unfolded at a speed utterly unprecedented this century — and also one that was repeatedly predicted and entirely avoidable if Israel were not placing severe restrictions on aid.

Philippe Lazzarini said the decision was "outrageous". 
"Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli authorities informed the UN that they will no longer approve any Unrwa food convoys to the north," Lazzarini said on social media platform X. 
"This is outrageous and makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man made famine," he added.
The decision comes days after a UN-backed report warned that famine was a crisis many have accused Israel of causing by using starvation as a weapon of war.

“Jim Rogers deserved better, and Black America deserves better,” Janette McCarthy Wallace, general counsel of the NAACP, said in a statement.

“But the sad reality is, our communities continue to endure pain and suffering at the hands of those tasked with serving and protecting us. We have seen the photographs, watched the videos, and heard the stories,” she added. “One thing remains clear – progress cannot exist without accountability.”

Matricide and feliocide: We salute the women of Gaza for their struggle and resilience and, above all, for the humanity they have shown us during their daily fight for their families’ lives amid the horrific deprivation of food, safe drinking water, and healthcare that is being imposed on the people of Gaza. We salute the mothers who are forced to skip meals so they can feed their children, the mothers who carry their babies in their wombs only to have to carry them again to their burial ground, the pregnant mothers who have no safe place to give birth and no access to clean water, and the mothers who have watched their children being gunned down during the Israeli flour massacres.

#Bidenomics: The nation faces a deep crisis of housing and homelessness that gifted inordinate power to landlords, and it’s difficult to put a positive spin on the economy when you’re struggling to pay rent and the landlord ignores your calls to fix the plumbing. Nationally, rent remains a key driver of inflation, with costs rising 0.5 percentsince January and 5.8 percent over the past year.

#HousingIsAHumaRight

You cannot starve or expose a population to disease by accident: “placing, quote unquote, pressure on the population has been Israel's strategy since the beginning of the blockade in 2007, ensuring deprivation, ensuring aid dependency, ensuring that people cannot attain their full physical and mental health and capacity in education or in work or in any other sector. This has been the policy, you know, this whole idea of mowing the grass that we heard in past wars or calculating the calories. And that's why I think these statements were such potent evidence in South Africa's genocide case”

#USPol: A group of 25 progressive organizations — including Justice Democrats, the Working Families Party, the IfNotNow Movement, and Jewish Voice for Peace Action— launched the Reject AIPAC coalition Monday. The coalition plans to organize against AIPAC across electoral, political, and digital arenas. One facet of the plan calls for a seven-figure electoral spending campaign to defend members of Congress being targeted by AIPAC.
