@justicedems The Appeasement Democrats fail again. No spending fight even though a literal Nazi (Musk) has arrogated to himself spending decisions. Schumer = Neville Chamberlain
Just a normal Israeli officer now in Gaza
“Today in Gaza, a trip to a beach that will be renovated and placed in the right hands. The sunset is already there; all that’s left is to turn the place into a promenade, at least like in Tel Aviv.”
Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha is making an urgent appeal for help, reporting that his wife’s family and relatives are trapped under rubble in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza. Over 50 people are feared dead, and no ambulances are available for rescue.
Abu Toha is the founder of Gaza’s Edward Said Library—the only English-language library in the region—and is known for his acclaimed collection Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear (2022).
While Israeli surveillance-tech company Cellebrite touts its role in Gaza and has been accused of enabling human rights abuses in dictatorships, it is growing to become a major government contractor for the U.S and U.K. @DropSiteNews

NEW: Hamas ‘Open to Any Deal or Ideas That Ends the Suffering’
Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, said today in a televised speech that the group is “open to any deal or ideas that ends the suffering of our people in Gaza and achieves a permanent ceasefire.” He emphasized that any agreement must include the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, an end to the blockade, unrestricted aid access, and a swap of hostages.
Abu Zuhri’s position does not signal a change in Hamas’s long-standing conditions. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, however, continues to insist the war will only end with Hamas’s eradication.

A new Forensic Architecture report reveals Israel has systematically targeted civilian infrastructure in Gaza, damaging or destroying:
•71% of known shelters
•53% of utilities
•75% of schools
•80% of religious institutions
•91% of cultural heritage sites
It has also severely degraded agricultural and water resources, with approximately:
•70% of agricultural land destroyed
•47% of groundwater wells destroyed
•45% of greenhouses destroyed
These actions, @ForensicArchi states, have “permanently” impacted Gaza’s capacity to “sustain life.”
Or, as Israeli Air Force pilots describe it:
“There is one thing that people…will never understand. A plane returning without bombs it’s a crazy excitement. You understand you did something meaningful that night.”

Novelist Lana Bastašić cut ties w/ her German publisher over its silence abt the genocide in Gaza & the censorship of pro-Palestinian voices in Germany.
She was then disinvited from a prestigious literary festival in Austria. Her response is remarkable https://t.co/Z9jTyBG6Zc

#ClimateChange is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions
We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes
We are taking Earth’s climate way beyond natural limits, with carbon dioxide and temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years
#PatRobertson. No one is perfect. Un-American, genial, calculating, corrupt supporter of autocracy and right-wing candidates. Jesus thinks he's a jerk.

I hope @ACLU is working with someone presenting a #Shakespeare play (e.g., Midsummer Night's Dream) for a test case. @femalefaust
