Our deliberate obliteration of the Cuban health care system and economy has led to a major outbreak of dengue fever and chikungunya — which is now surging in Florida because diseases do not stay put.

We shouldn’t need a selfish reason to not punish an entire civilian population, but it’s worth understanding that we are also harming ourselves when we do it.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The death penalty is a moral stain on our country and must be abolished.

[Abigail Miller @Abigail_M2050]

ICE blinded me for life. My skull is shattered beyond repair - I can't even sneeze or cough without risking death.

They pulled a nickel-sized plastic chunk from my eye, with metal, glass and plastic still lodged behind it. It's a miracle I survived.

A Change dot org petition wants Pink removed as a UNICEF ambassador.

It started after Macklemore’s pro-Palestine set opening for Ed Sheeran. Pink shared a post calling the show anti-Israel propaganda and asking that he be pulled from the tour.

Come on world leaders! 50 children are under the rubble

We're not asking for thousands of rescue workers or a global coalition like the Oceangate Titan sub or the Tham Luang cave rescue

Just pressure Israel to allow excavation equipment, machines & fuel into Gaza immediately!

Hackers ripped a Flock camera off a pole, dumped what was stored on it, and handed the files to WIRED and 404 Media.

One camera. 21 days.
~50,000 vehicles. 1.6 million images. About 3,300 cars a day. Peak day: 4,454.

Flock sold this as “license plate readers” with on-device encryption. The software on that box wasn’t just reading plates. It was tagging vehicles, bikes, and people. Dozens of shots of a single car. Bumper stickers. Even an American flag patch on a motorcycle bag.

They put the encryption key on the camera. Then acted shocked when somebody opened it.

@MattWalshBlog Maybe you and Charlie Kirk shoulda stopped telling them college is a bad idea, dumbass

[onion person @CantEverDie]

rightwing men being fed that college is a liberal scam for the last 15 years might be why

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

Over 90% of right wing commentators are just paid mouthpieces for various evil lobbying groups. None of them have any real opinions and policy ideas.

Today, 100 South Florida residents alongside Noura Erakat, Oliver Larkin, and former US State Department Official Charles Blaha came to give public comment during the Palm Beach County Budget hearing against Israel Bonds.

[Oliver Larkin @OliverALarkin]

PBSO arrested @4noura to make an example of her—an example of how Palm Beach County’s $1 billion investment in Israel bonds comes before our freedom of speech at a budget meeting.

This is Israel’s largest municipal bond investment on earth.

We showed up because we don’t want our tax dollars funding genocide.

But the county commissioners would rather shut down a public meeting, clear the room, clear the building, and ultimately clear the county government building grounds of 100 South Florida and county residents with sheriff’s deputies than respect our First Amendment right.

The Trump administration is selling Israel the largest-ever package of 2,000 lb bombs -- $2.8 billion for 40,000 bombs -- eclipsing Trump's 2025 sale.

The blast radius is up to 400 yards. They leveled whole blocks in Gaza at the height of the genocide.

[Dr Rhonda Garad Difficult by Design @RhondaGarad]

The problem for Pink and Ed Sheeran now is that every time they sing about a better world, kindness or empathy, no one will believe them.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

*Four* acts have now withdrawn from Ed Sheeran’s tour in rapid succession:
FINNEAS
Lukas Graham
Beoga
Aaron Rowe

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

mike rogers is running out the clock and running away from abdul and michiganders with the hopes that fox news, donald trump and aipac can carry him to victory. this response is unprofessional and embarrassing. roop raj is a respected, experienced and impartial moderator.

Kentucky bourbon makers are almost shut down because they can’t export to Canada and Europeans are so mad at Trump their sales are way down there too. Plus in the U.S. people are drinking less after binging too hard during covid.

Now Trump is going to let duty-free Irish Whiskey in. Basically everything he does has the outcome of harming American producers, it’s kind of incredible.
