Prime Day is a good day to remember that while Amazon was fined just $7,000 for dangerous conditions that caused an Amazon worker to die in Indiana, Jeff Bezos became $1.6 billion richer YESTERDAY & Amazon made $30 billion in profits last year.

Every Amazon worker needs a union.

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS TODAY? THE STATE OF IŠRAEL IS NOW OFFICIALLY CONSIDERED AN APARTHEID STATE!! THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS NOW OBLIGATED TO SANCTION AND ISOLATE IŞRAEL UNTIL THEY STOP COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA!!! THIS IS A BIG VICTORY!

BREAKING:

Israel has dropped bombs on Palestinians waiting for water in Zaitoun neighborhood, Gaza.

Over 17 killed, many injured.

The bodies are severely mutilated.

Read that again: Desperate civilians, starving and thirsty, standing in line for water.

This is a massacre.

1. I literally don’t even know who the @nytimes is for. Canceling my subscription, finally

If you want accurate coverage of Israel / Palestine + the Middle East at large, I recommend the following outlets:

[Ida 🎨 commissions open @sulkycatz]

“why people saying “ALL EYES ON RAFAH”?”

“where is it?”

“what’s happening there?”

🔻 Rafah is located on the border of Egypt & the LAST place for refugees
🔻 everyone in Gaza is displaced in Rafah now (around 1.7 million)
🔻 Israel still attacking Rafah, burnt people alive

Big resignation from the Biden administration - an extremely powerful one at that. This section, in particular, struck hard - read it and read it again.

“Because the hardest part of the past six months was feeling totally alone like I was the only one disturbed by the footage from Gaza. The only one who felt like a participant, not just a passive observer, in the destruction there. For six months, I never heard anyone speak about the war in those terms, ever. I felt like I was living in an alternate universe.”

This Mother’s Day my heart is with the moms and kids of Gaza.

[Rhode Island Senate @RISenate]

The Senate today passed a bill sponsored by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairwoman @DawnEuer that would ensure contraception remains covered in Rhode Island, even if the coverage requirements in the Affordable Care Act are overturned.

It is interesting, to put it politely, that Tiananmen remains the American reference point for state violence against political movements instead of, I don't know, Kent State, Wounded Knee, the MOVE bombing, LA '92, Ferguson, Standing Rock, NoDAPL, Stop Cop City, etc etc etc

[Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior]

So much talk about Project 2025 when Project 2024 is right here and it is monstrous. This night is but one piece.

Tyranny is tyranny. You cannot excuse it because your preferred political party is the one building and backing the police state this time.

Read this thread! @BlessAmysHeart speaks clearly and passionately about the need to fund Newport schools. We cannot expect improvement without resources and we cannot allow our elected officials to act surprised when long term lack of investment comes back to bite us.
