"Never again" they said, as they sat back and demanded no one interrupt while it happened again.

Spot on.

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Wow.

Our opponent’s mom is spending $2.5 million to oust me as LA City Controller.

Get ready to be bombarded w/ dishonest attacks and ads propping up our opponent, who oversaw the downfall of Radford Studios, defaulting on $1.1 BILLION‼️ He now wants to watch over your money?

“What has this country become?!” is such a white ass statement.

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

I ordered a cocktail like this by accident at a big dinner once. Not more expensive just super elaborate. It was… embarrassing

[Robert Smithereens @jotfdan]

Old enough to remember when black Friday was controversial. Before a few big chains pushed to make people work the day after thanksgiving in the 90s it was unthinkable and a subject of debate for several years

[Star seed @Starsee96357156]

Me too.

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

I just visited Dilley and met with kids who are too scared and traumatized to eat and go to the bathroom – let alone play. It’s horrific and should alarm everyone in our country. We can’t let them do this in our name. We need to shut down Dilley.

BREAKING:

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US and Israel struck another girls’ school in central Iran

The airstrikes on Khomeyn, central Iran, two hours ago struck yet another girls school, the Shaghayegh Girls' School.

Ironically, at the 33 second mark of the video, graffiti sprayed on the girls school reads "Long live the Shah."

Note, there were two airstrikes within minutes, indicating a double-tap.

If ever we needed a They Might Be Giants album about current events that time is now

[W.E.B. DaBoi @Tyre_94]

Crazy that universal healthcare and free college are both exponentially cheaper than a prolonged war with Iran

[Dr. Butch Ware @ButchWare]

Housing first means: nobody gets seconds until everybody eats.

In SF: 14 vacant properties for every homeless person.
In Vienna: 60% social housing, 25% of income on rent.
We're spending our whole paychecks. It doesn't have to be this way.

Housing is a human right. Let's build it.

If they can do this, they can automatically register people to vote.

The U.S. public loves to imagine itself as one election away from redemption.

That fantasy is one of the empire’s most useful products.

It allows every crime to be reclassified as temporary deviation instead of structural expression.

Four years later the bombs continue, the sanctions continue, the vetoes continue, the bases remain, the myth survives, and the public gets to feel disappointed instead of implicated.

That cycle is not democratic self-correction.

It is imperial emotional management.
