Climate change, politics, security, and random assortments.

Americans literally just want to afford groceries, and here's Donnie BRAGGING about how much he loves the increasing costs families are facing. It's sick.

This is ISRAEL.

THIS IS WHAT THEY DO TO PALESTINIANS WHILE THE MEDIA RUNS COVER FOR THEM!

The U.S. just today’s morning struck two water reservoirs in Iran, disrupting its drinking water supply for local communities.

The U.S. has targeted schools, hospitals, universities, bridges, and other civilian infrastructures in Iran.

Destroying civilian infrastructures is not military necessity. The U.S. is totally unleashed with no red lines. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are not a target

If I criticize your side, you assume I'm on theirs. If I criticize their side, they assume I'm on yours. You are both wrong. My position is guided by principles and upholding the law rather than alignment.

But, is there an international law for the U.S. that is different from the international law for other countries?

Israel just executed Ali in South Lebanon.

He wasn’t a fighter.

He was a paramedic.

Israel killed him while he was on the frontlines saving lives.

Israel has now murdered over 135 medics in Lebanon in just 3 months.

And not a peep from the complicit international community.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

No se habla lo suficiente de que "Israel" está borrando la ciudad de Tiro, uno de los asentamientos humanos más antiguos del mundo, con orígenes que datan de 2750 AC, literalmente están destruyendo patrimonio de toda la humanidad.

En 3 meses "Israel" ha asesinado a más de 3.700 libaneses pero al mundo no parece importarle.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Horrifying scenes from South Lebanon.

Israel is carpet bombing Tyre, wiping entire civilian neighborhoods off the map.

No military necessity. No restraint.

Just relentless terror.

This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Let’s stop calling it settler violence. It is settler TERROR. These criminals roam the West Bank with impunity, and the world stays silent.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

The UN says violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank is rising sharply, with at least 44 Palestinians killed since the start of the year. A new UN report says settler attacks on Palestinian villages have risen by 130% since 2023.

Al Jazeera’s Joel Evans reports.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Well said Ian Wright.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is South Lebanon today.

Israel is carpet bombing Tyre — one of the oldest cities in human history.

Not military targets. Not battlefields.

Residential buildings. Civilian homes. Entire neighborhoods erased in minutes.

[Robert Barwick @RobbieBarwick]

Why did every Australian government from Chifley to Rudd, 1945-2010, not allow permanent US military bases in Australia?

Because when you allow bases you give up sovereignty.

Gillard changed it, and now, as a US diplomat told me, Australia is effectively under US occupation.

White House journalists need to defend their colleagues against Donald Trump’s attacks.

La seleccion de fútbol de Irán llegó a México, donde se alojará durante el Mundial. Si bien jugará todos sus partidos en EEUU, Trump les negó hospedaje y los obliga a salir del país apenas termine cada encuentro. La FIFA aceptó ese acto de mal anfitrión.

You don't blow up universities unless you're trying to destroy a people, their culture and their future.

Prof Jeffrey Sachs, American economist and public policy analyst. Columbia University:

"AUKUS is designed to bill the Australian taxpayers and enrich the US military industrial complex. You have been had Australia, sorry to tell you. And your politicians should own up it."

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Former environment minister Peter Garrett will lead a public inquiry into the Australian Government’s $368 billion AUKUS defence pact, amid growing concerns over the lack of scrutiny surrounding the nation’s most expensive defence project.

Every day, Russia commits terrorist atrocities against Ukrainian civilians that would cause outrage and catastrophe anywhere else. Unprovoked military attacks on innocents while the free world watches and talks.
