In the US, a teacher (Mary Garza) instructed her students to set their phones to loud mode. Each time a notification was received they’d stand up & tally it under a suitable category. This occurred during ONE class period. Each mark is a learning disruption #edchat
@mgeist Funny that the 200 million they stand to gain from 5 % of the tech giants looting of our culture is the exact amount that the govt pissed away to Mckinsey for literally zero return . All theatre to let the oligarchs keep the system going in their favor
So online ganling ( esp sports ) is insane and promoted everywhere we look now. Yet governments are doing nothing now. Mental health emergency just incubating. https://t.co/CZqi1gaUIv @SharedHealthMB@BUBrownC

There are mass desertion amongst Israeli soldiers who refuse to participate in the genocide.
This commander is trying to motivate reservists who refuse to fight.

all took an OATH, they now refuse to honor
Veteran Haaretz journalist Amira Hass has reported from the Occupied Palestinian Territories for decades and says the Israeli public is "drunk with the will to take revenge" on Palestinians, spurred on by a far-right government dominated by "extreme fascist settlers."
This is carnage and nothing short of a war crime! Congress must pass a resolution calling on Israel to cease and desist targeting civilians and children immediately! There is no moral high ground associated with targeting hospitals and refugees fleeing war zones! #Gaza #BaptistHospital
