For all the anti-BDS people who said “there’s no point in the Starbucks/McDonalds boycott.” Both boycotts had a significant impact on profits. Every risk management firm in the world then told their clients to avoid business in Israel. Israel is now a massive liability. BDS works
White phosphorus bombs dropped by Israel are burning South Lebanon’s forests, olive trees, and farmlands, poisoning the soil, animals, and water.
This is ecocide.
And yet, the ‘international community’ remains silent, as always.
Repeat after me: bifurcated economy.
The top 10-20% are riding the stock market, benefiting from ludicrous housing costs gains, doing A-OK & spending like nuts.
Those whose hourly went up $3/hr but whose grocery bill doubled & rent increase by $400/mo, not so much.
a former child influencer tells me about the cost of a life lived online – the first menstrual period turned into a sponsored post, the pressure to appear perfect, the endless work, the confusion of what was real and what wasn't

Israel has killed Shabab Baalbek’s Lebanese defender Mustafa Gharib in an airstrike in Lebanon.
Two footballers in a single day. No response from @FIFAcom. Do you have any loyalty to your players?
4 years ago today, the WHO declared COVID a pandemic.
Today we will rightfully remember tens of millions who have died. We must never forget.
But we must also remember COVID is still killing, disabling, and excluding too many.
We are still in a pandemic. We still need to act.
Israel admits: Biden's Gaza seaport has been Netanyahu's idea all along
And it's part of Israel's plans to dismant & replace UNRWA as well as permanently cut Gaza off from Israel, the West Bank & the world & contain international outrage against Israel's war & starvation of Gaza
Once you have walked an unhoused person who wants housing through the "services" available, you will never stop shaking with fury every time you hear politicians try to blame them for not being housed and calling them "service resistant".
Not enough people bring up the fact that Albert Einstein, a Jew whose name has become universally synonymous with genius, stated emphatically that Israel’s ruling parties were Nazi-like and fascist, and genocidal towards Palestinians.
The US isnt turning into a police state. Dont be silly.
We ARE a police state. 64 cop cities being built/planned. The national guard in the subway pissing on ur 4th. Biden gave them billions & our covid money. Face masks, hijabs, houslessness, criminalized.
This guy is 100% right. It's an embarrassing thing he's admitting to and society should be nicer to people with legitimate struggles which he obviously has
Right now young people are blocking the Swedish parliament to draw attention to that the climate crisis and underlying social injustices are killing people, and the situation is only getting worse.
We've had enough of those in power not listening to the science and our voices 1/6
