So far Israel and the USA have completely destroyed over 600 schools in Iran.
Which puts the "targeting mistake" of killing the 170 schoolgirls in perspective.
Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy.
I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all.
Out in October with @randomhouse.
The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over.
It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.
"We have interviewed over 75 women who were detained.. all the women say the thing about sexual violence, including rape, sexual torture, sexual humiliation & degradation.. its systematic.."
Kifaya Khraim from @WclacPalestine on women being raped & tortured in Israeli jails
According to a press release by the Global Sumud Flotilla, at least four participants reported sexual violence at the hands of Israeli soldiers, including anal penetration with a finger, forceful strikes to the genitals, and verbal sexual abuse.

Horrific: Video shows an Israeli settler deliberately blocking the path of a Palestinian ambulance on a road in southern Nablus in the West Bank while it was transporting a critically ill person.
🦔Residents living near AI data centers are reporting constant low-frequency hum measured as infrasound, sound below the human hearing threshold that causes dizziness, nausea, vertigo, and sleep disruption. The noise comes from cooling systems and onsite gas turbines hyperscalers are building behind-the-meter to bypass slow grid interconnects.
Local zoning rules do not regulate infrasound because traditional noise ordinances only measure decibels in the audible range, leaving residents with no legal recourse. The video below captures what households near these facilities are living with around the clock.
My Take
The infrasound problem does not exist in the regulations because the technology producing it at scale did not exist when the rules were written, and developers know exactly which rural jurisdictions lack the framework to push back.
Households who bought before the data center was announced get to choose between selling at a loss or living with symptoms that did not exist a year ago, and that cost is being externalized onto people who never agreed to host critical infrastructure for the AI buildout.

A Democratic Socialist is leading the Democratic primary in Wisconsin, not a costal state.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise, though.
@FrancescaHongWI is simply continuing the “sewer socialist” movement that began in Wisconsin over 100 years ago.
