The Global Sumud Flotilla announces plans to carry out the largest nonviolent coordinated humanitarian intervention for Palestine in history.
On March 29th, thousands of participants (including doctors, nurses and teachers), and more than one hundred boats will disembark with intentions to aid Palestinian people and help rebuild what has been destroyed in these past few years.
Massive story developing in MN health care tonight. 600 Allina docs, PAs, NursePract unionized 2 years ago (very rare) citing broken health care system. They just authorized a strike. Live press conf tomorrow @FOX9 12:45. Would be the largest strike of its kind in US history.

BREAKING: Greta Thunberg before setting sail to Gaza:
"Palestinians have been dehumanized to such an extent that they are only spoken of in terms of numbers and UN resolutions."
Taylor Swift’s engagement announcement is now the most-liked post by a living artist in Instagram history, surpassing Zendaya’s birthday post for Tom Holland (28 MILLION).
🚨 FREE CHRIS SMALLS! 🚨
Chris Smalls, labor organizer and founder of the Amazon Labor Union, on July 12 joined the Gaza Freedom Flotilla aboard the Handala, a ship of activists and organizers carrying humanitarian aid in an effort to break the siege, end the starvation, and stand with the Palestinian people. On July 26, as the Handala neared Gaza, it was violently intercepted by Israeli occupation forces who boarded the vessel, arrested participants, and have now singled out, kidnapped, and brutalized Smalls for daring to confront the inhumane blockade imposed on Gaza.
We stand in full solidarity with Chris Smalls and demand his immediate release from Israel’s brutal occupation forces. Like the flotilla mission, we call for an end to the US-backed Israeli siege that has turned starvation into a weapon against the people of Gaza. We unequivocally stand with Palestine and echo the urgent call to lift the blockade, stop the genocide, and end this colonial apartheid. We stand with Chris Smalls as we fight for a liberated Palestine, free from the tyranny of occupation.
@ryanhallyall lots of great stuff in this thread. would also like to add this article about grok ai’s home base increasing memphis’s smog by <60% as an example of generative ai’s incredibly powerful environmental impact (and how it’s being used as a weapon against marginalized communities)
