I'm a loving, creative, and inquisitive kind of gal with geek, and/or nerd tendencies. Life, for me, often brings forth a sense of childlike awe and wonder.

I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”

It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.

Residents had to be evacuated from their homes in east Belfast following fires.

One top military officer provided a plausible explanation, behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, The Intercept has learned. In the briefing, a high-ranking officer on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff stated that some of the people killed by the U.S. military may have been the victims of human trafficking.

Everybody who did this should be arrested. It’s an obvious war crime. It’s terrorism against civilians.

Currently all info on the website for the Selective Service System (the draft) about Conscientious Objection is a dead link. This denies 19 million draft-eligible youth vital facts about their rights.

🚨NEW: Iran Declares Strait of Hormuz Closed to All Shipping, Warns Any Vessel Will Be Targeted

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the armed forces’ top operational command responsible for coordinating joint military operations, said:

🔹 “Following the criminal aggressions of the American enemy, and considering the launch of new attacks by the invading army of that country on areas in the south of Hormozgan province, from this moment, due to insecurity in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is declared closed for passage for all types of vessels, including oil tankers and commercial ships.

🔹 “Any movement of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted.”

🔹 “The American claim regarding the passage of a ship through the strait is false,” the statement added, appearing to reference new IRGC Navy claims that two vessels attempting to violate the closure have been struck.

🚨 U.S. Launches Strikes on Iran

U.S. Central Command announced it began launching “self-defense strikes” against Iran at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday at President Trump’s direction, in response to the downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. CENTCOM described the mission “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.”

BREAKING:

Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine.

A village that has stood for thousands of years.

A place where Jesus once walked.

Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world.

And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever.

Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car.

Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother.

In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.
