70% of Democrats want an #ArmsEmbargoNow.

Please sign this letter asking Harris to pledge an arms embargo to stop the ongoing massacre of Palestinian children.

Lancet's best estimate is that 186,000 Palestinians have been killed by IDF attacks.

"climate change causing home values to literally fall off the cliff"

"I think we just put our head in the sand" - Nantucket attorney Chris Farley (note: who is working with Nantucket homeowners to... help them reduce their property taxes...🤔 ).

Nantucket real estate agent: "They're [rich people] buying [houses that will be soon destroyed by climate change] knowing they're going to lose them."

Israeli commander Major David Portel (Gaza Division), who in Nov. called for "100,000s" of Gazan corpses:

"Everybody is guilty. And we won't know victory unless we annihilate Gaza"

"What does the Bible [Torah?] say? 'Leave none of them remaining.'"

(Recall Bibi priming them w/genocidal Amalek rhetoric before invasion)

"The moral thing is to annihilate them…make [Gaza] a parking lot. Anything less is immoral…a crime"

"I hope that next Sabbath Gaza will be no more."

Fleas on cats, dogs, mice, etc., transfer the virus to humans.

Mosquito season is here.

All of these vectors are obvious.

Yet Tom Vilsack (Big Ag dairy rep who heads USDA), has taken the "do nothing & wait for it to fix itself" approach, rather than protect citizens against the greed & anti-social behavior of dairy businessmen, who refuse testing.

"3 key factors for transmission [of #H5N1] between farms:

*shared equipment & vehicles,
*shared personnel who may…carry the virus between farms on their clothes or boots, &
*animal movements…such as from Texas to Michigan in the initial weeks of the outbreak"

☠️ "60% of farms continued to move cattle off the facilities after animals showed signs of illness"👀

"Most farms had cats…more than 50% of those had sick or dead cats."

20% of dairy farms had chickens or poultry, & sick or dead birds

"private property is sacred unless it's owned by poor people instead of rich people"

@popcornreel @lawrence

The voters didn't elect GWB OR Donald Trump. They voted for Kerry & Clinton.

He really should have educated the public that the US Supreme Court gave the Presidency to GWB, & the Electoral College is why we have Trump. Not the voters.

@mekkaokereke

I have the strong impression that the people who are running the Democratic party are committing electoral malpractice on a number of different levels. I began to panic when they decided to dump the entirety of our legislative political capital on infrastructure instead of voting rights.

@inthehands I'm lichen your style.

@inthehands 😂 love it! that's a pun I actually enjoyed! I read the Beastologist series with my kiddo and I feel like he'll get a kick out of this too :) thank you for the wholesome care 💗

@inthehands

Thanks! I...think I'm safe? I do need the equivalent of probiotics for my brain.

Dear Mastodon,

It has been 50 years since my last confession.

I got sucked back into Twitter by peer pressure (aka chat group following Gaza news).

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

There are a lot of people There whose expertise I miss & benefit from; however, the whole place is a horror show & the ratio of people Here vs. There, who give a shit & inform themselves & remain human is astronomically higher & I missed you. Twitter relapse is legit soul crushing.

@martinvermeer @igd_news

I recognized the last name for obvious reasons, knew Meir Kahane was from Brooklyn, & simply did a little research. I first matched his photo from today to his LinkedIn page, then did a very little research & found this interview w/family info: https://amimagazine.org/2021/08/18/reuven-kahane/ & matched to Meir Kahane's in this dissertation.https://uh-ir.tdl.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/dc2971c5-cdfd-4b86-b1ab-f13f94fdab66/content

@martinvermeer @igd_news

There is now a Times of Israel article as of less than an hour ago that mentions his relationship to Meir Kahane briefly. And this, so far the most thorough piece https://www.trtworld.com/us-and-canada/extremist-rabbi-tries-to-run-over-pro-palestine-protesters-in-ny-18075898

Honestly it's unreal that no major networks are covering. This is a HUGE story. Meir Kahane's groups have been on terrorist lists in the US & Israel & internationally for decades. For good reason. See the details in Wikipedia @Wikipedia to start.

I’m curious: What do Mastodon’s #AI experts think of this list by Brianna Rosen?

"israel has killed more aid workers in the tiny #gaza strip than have died in all of the countries in the rest of the world combined in any of the last 30 years"

Graph of Aid worker deaths showing more than 70% of all the aid worker deaths in 2023 were in #Gaza. Even more in 2024 - roughly 75-80%

All 161 deaths of Palestinian aid workers in 2023 were after Oct. 7

Data is as of April 1, 2024. The data from 2024 & some incidents from 2023 are provisional

Again, we owe it to these 7 #WCK volunteers to watch The #Gatekeepers, a documentary by an Israeli filmmaker who managed to interview 6 former directors of #ShinBet.

It opens with a frank discussion about the type of drone strike that #IDF used yesterday to assassinate 7 volunteers who were in #Gaza to provide food to #Palestinians whom #Israel has been starving for 6 months under its official policy of a #TotalSiege, imposed as #CollectivePunishment for #Hamas' actions.

@tparsi is really important to read on #Gaza.

@oatmeal

A *month* ???!! No. Come on. That’s ridiculous. How many people are going to starve to death in a month. They should be required to respond in a week or less.

@israel @palestine

Trying to decide whether Cherry 3000 counts for me... I think so?
