this language is now indexed as a form of racial harassment. The mere mention of Palestinians and their ongoing mass killing, siege and starvation is treated as a form of bigotry. I don’t know what else to say other than this is completely dystopian and insane.

Medical workers are essential to a functioning civil society. There is no reason to target them for any other purpose than the destruction of a civilization. It only makes sense as an effort to make an area totally uninhabitable for Lebanese civilians.

One of the most horrifying things happening in Gaza right now something the world barely knows about is that we are now trapped inside an area no larger than 133 square kilometers out of Gaza’s original 336 square kilometers.

More than two million people are crowded into this tiny, suffocating space, creating one of the highest population densities in the world, literally.

But the real catastrophe is not only the lack of space it is that this area itself is no longer fit for human life. Everything around us has become rubble, tents, and destroyed homes. There are no proper schools, no functioning hospitals, no infrastructure, no electricity, and no clean water. People are surviving among destruction, disease, epidemics, hunger, and constant fear.

Every single day we wake up to news that more areas have been taken over, and the space we are confined to keeps shrinking further and further, until it feels like we are being slowly pushed toward complete suffocation. Our homes disappeared inside those areas, and until this moment we know nothing about them, as if our entire previous lives have simply been erased.

The situation here is becoming more terrifying with every passing day. Children fall asleep to the sounds of bombardment and fear, while families live without any sense of safety or stability.

No one knows how long this endless nightmare will continue. What is happening can no longer be endured, and there is an urgent and immediate need for intervention to save more than two million people trapped in conditions no human being should ever have to live through.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Why do we need to prepare for a “prolonged war with China?” Why is this something a morally healthy society has to spend trillions on while its schools and infrastructure crumble? We have no evidence China seeks to harm the US, they are not invading Los Angeles. This is insane.

Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of mainstream media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @MECAForPeace. Thank you!

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.

As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.

I’ve never seen something like this.

I stand by my reporting, but not the headline, which I didn't write nor was I involved in, and which I agree should not have come out like this.

It’s notable that in these inventories of the war the thousands of Iranians slaughtered don’t register. It’s all America’s Power Projection and “the world economy” and “failures” of regime change. Somehow, even after a murderous sneak attack, Iran remains a sinister belligerent.
