I’m going to make this very clear, if you live anywhere north of the 10 and west of the 405. BE READY TO LEAVE NOW. The fire departments have given up on structural protection outside of those boundaries. Please trust your local infamous fault. For Altadena and even Pasadena, do the same. #PalisadesFire #PacificPalisades #eatonfire #wildfire

As an expert on the global arms trade I can tell u that if the US, which supplies about 70% of Israel’s arms imports, were to stop all arms sales, the assault on Gaza would grind to a halt within days. And Israel couldn’t just replace the weapons with others from elsewhere, as its military infrastructure is so dependent on American matériel, which requires constant US spare parts, components and ordinance to continue to be usable. So a halt to US arms sales could end the genocide within days. In addition such a cessation would comply with international law and US domestic law on arms exports & human rights which are currently being violated
CBS News says they spoke to more than 20 doctors returned from Gaza who told them about the shocking number of children showing up at hospitals with gunshot wounds
Our first vet visit in our 3rd area of refuge!
We discovered a veterinarian in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. He’s originally from Rafah but has been, too, forcibly displaced due to the ongoing Israeli indiscriminate attacks in his area. He managed to grab essential equipment and medications with him to reopen his clinic in his area of refuge.
As expected, like countless humans and animals across Gaza, Tom is suffering from malnutrition, which has led to multiple health issues. Over the past few months, I've had to rely solely on canned mortadella from aid packages to feed Tom, as it was the only food available. The vet told me the vast majority of this aid is of such poor quality that "even animals shouldn't be eating it!" I heard this and thought, "What about the 2.3 million people who have no choice but to rely on this low-quality aid to survive?"
No wonder we've been consistently suffering from various health issues over the past nine months, including severe vitamin deficiencies, vomiting, diarrhea, and hepatitis, among others.

Just wanted to say my first night homeless escaping domestic violence I called a shelter and they told me they had a six month waiting list. In a major city.
New York City libraries are facing a $58.3 million budget cut that could force most branches to reduce service to just five days a week. On the Day of Action for Libraries, tell @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil: #NoCutsToLibraries
