@RHODLIMERICK I passed by the other evening, and looked at the plaque outside. It should be saved @moranjohna1

[Adil Haque @AdHaque110]

IDF "soldiers shot a 16-year-old boy and then ran over his body with a tank, mutilating it.

"a 15-year-old boy holding a white flag — and his brother who came to his rescue, as well as their mother — were shot by .338-caliber Israeli sniper rounds from 200 meters away"

[ADAM @adamemedia1]

NEW: 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 The UN has found that Israel deliberately targeted maternity wards and neonatal units as a direct strategy.

I have no words.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".

The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

So if you apply this logic to the 4,000 citizens of Lebanon that Israel has killed in their invasion, you’d have to ask how the US would react to an invading force killing 235,000 Americans, many of them women and children.

You really don’t want to do this calculation for Gaza.

@ahchoen @esiilaask Yes. I'd also like to know if the garden is north or south facing before making a decision
Probably 3 or 4 though

"Mr Mullin (62) of Albert Lodge, Stillorgan Road, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, is accused of the theft of Hermes perfume worth €158 from the department store on May 15 last."

The very same day Yves Sakila lost his life after also allegedly shoplifting perfume.

Nick Maynard: "Let me tell you about Zainab, a 7mth old girl.. we had run out of formula feed.. she died whilst I was there.. 4 days before she died a group of US drs had brought in formula feed.. they had every bottle deliberately removed by the Israeli border guards"

@Princesshikago @fatima_gunning That young man, only 21 years old, just about to graduate from university with a degree in computer science had his life stolen from him, his family devastated, and this is what *you* have to say about it.

[Lisa McCaffrey @WhenPigsFly]

@MylifeinMinutes @BussyKeaton I witnessed it in the lives of our next-door neighbours. The dad gave up work, the mother became a recluse. The two older children left home as soon as they could. The affected child (now adult) is in a facility as they (sadly) became aggressive/unmanageable at home. Reality.

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

Israeli gunfire killed a Palestinian infant and wounded his parents in the south of the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry reported.

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline

Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!”

He posted this without irony.

For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines.

We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague.

At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever.

Trump has the internet. He chose this.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.
