Most interesting thing here is that the Israeli Foreign Ministry now acknowledges the Nakba happened. They just think it was justified. A shift from the long history of Nakba denial that said Arabs fled of their own volition because their leaders told them to.
Following a Nitro chemical site emergency that left two people dead and an estimated 30+ more seeking medical care, the Trump administration aims to eliminate chemical safety and reporting requirements that loom large in the disaster-prone Kanawha Valley: https://t.co/inhESAXZ6B
Gobsmacking statistic in this story: “While city pools and splash pads consume almost 2 million gallons of water over the course of a summer, a single Exxon plastics plant consumes 13 million gallons per day.”
In just one month, these Lebanese journalists were killed by Israeli strikes while doing their jobs. Their voices were silenced, but their work remains. 🕯️
This afternoon the young man seen running from the vehicle received a call from the Israeli army telling him he could die alone or die with his family in the car.
He ran from the vehicle into a field and was struck and killed by an Israeli drone.
This is not the first time that the Israeli army has used this tactic. It is pure barbarism. Abject terrorism.
I can’t stop imagining making the choice to run as far as you can from anyone you love so you can hopefully be killed alone. I just. I’m so fucking angry and sad. This is something beyond evil.
The world is too comfortable with Israel bombing ambulances, hospitals, wiping out entire villages and massacring whole families. This isn’t normal. Future generations will look back at this era in shock and disbelief.
West Virginia is a resource-rich state with some of the poorest people in the country. Resources are extracted by wealthy corporations, and the residents pay for it.
i hope none of u ever have to experience calling ur entire family to see if they’re ALIVE. and i hope that if u ever do the world won’t be silent for u like they were for lebanon.
I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
"The sniper who shot my friend Jihan's 3 year old daughter Noor, shattering her tiny legs while she was in her mother's arms in Gaza, is a hateful, racist ghoul -- I understand that's one of the things I've been criticized for saying. And I double up on it, frankly. But the rage, the disgust even hatred that Jihan or I feel toward that sniper is not racism. It is not anti-Jewishness. It is not anti semitism. Nor are her feelings toward the tank operator who blew out the back of her son Arhab's head, making her fingers sink into his brains when she tried to pick him up. Our feelings or words in response to 78 years of this barbaric, colonial violence are not 'reprehensible.' They are not antisemitic. And they are not anti Jewish. In fact, despite everything they have done to us -- despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Jews both inside & outside of Israel support this zionist carnage & domination -- we still have the tender human sense to recognize those Jews, however a minority they may be, who do not support Israel. And to embrace the far smaller minority who are anti zionist, in fact."
ICE thugs have been leaving children, actual babies in cars and in homes, as their parents are dragged away. Teargassing babies in cars, holding mothers with newborns in their arms at gun point, and taking 12-year-olds into captivity. And politicians talk about compliance.
Holy Crap these were People that were detained by ICE & are now DEAD! These people are from all over the World & their families still don’t know why they died! Most of these people are young like in their 30’s so it wasn’t from natural causes or old age! Are they killing them too
I will say this far in advance so that y'all don't try to bully me into voting for him because "electability" or whatever:
I will not, under any circumstances vote for Gavin Newsom. PERIOD.
I don't care who he's running against. Vote for him during the primary at your own risk.
Keith Porter Jr’s death isn’t getting much media attention.
His shooting wasn’t caught on video.
An off duty ICE agent shot and killed him on New Years Eve.
That’s two US citizens killed by ICE in two weeks. Not to mention more than 30 people dying in camps.
