A country that forces human beings to beg for food at pantries in order to avoid taxing the wealthy is morally bankrupt and has no future.

I don’t know if anyone will even care about what I’m saying now but the truth is harsher than any person can imagine.

A large number of children in Gaza are being born with shocking deformities: open spine defects, severe heart abnormalities, missing limbs, deformed heads, and faces that look as if they were burned inside the womb. They come into the world already marked by the war before they even take their first breath.

Mothers have been inhaling rocket gases and toxic smoke for months, drinking water contaminated with explosives residue, and living on soil saturated with toxins.

I saw photos and videos myself of children in extremely difficult conditions unbearable to look at. Babies screaming in pain during their first hours of life, their tiny bodies horribly deformed. Doctors say they have never seen such cases in their entire lives, and they warn: “These deformities are unprecedented and will increase because of the pollution.”

Here, we don’t just suffer from hunger and epidemics we are giving birth to an entire broken generation from the moment they are born. We live inside a giant prison, deprived of medicine, clean food, electricity, and even the basic right to have healthy children.

@JamieBonkiewicz For those of you saying, “If you’re in the country legally, you shouldn’t have any problems.” Understand, 170 US citizens were held in ICE custody last year. Some of us are 1st Gen, so the names our immigrant parents gave us can be a security trigger.

My friend told me something shocking… He said that anyone who survives Gaza and goes abroad, even with advanced medical tests, discovers cancer in their body. The number is staggering, countless people, and every day new strange diseases appear… Here in Gaza, these rare illnesses, never seen by doctors before, keep emerging without explanation, with no proper testing equipment and no treatment available.

How is this even possible? How can we live amid the destruction and siege, watching our bodies deteriorate with no way to understand or confront the damage? Here, we have no tests, no treatment, as if we are living experiments left to collapse.

The weapons dropped on us do not just kill immediately they leave survivors suffering for life. Advanced missiles, destructive munitions, everything is used against us without mercy, as if our lives mean nothing. Those who survive the bombing… will never truly survive the diseases that follow.

It is truly shocking and bewildering… We are in the largest human testing ground on Earth. Children grow up amid fear and pain, our bodies break down relentlessly, and the whole world ignores us as if we don’t exist.

Each day, our sense of helplessness grows, and every day brings a new shock at the scale of the damage that is almost impossible to believe.

I don't even know what to write about this one.

What am I supposed to say? "Hey everybody, they're lying to us about this war"? Everyone already knows that. Even the people who support this war know all the justifications for it are lies.

They know Iran isn't building nukes.

They know Iran poses no threat to the United States.

They know all that bullshit about Iran cutting out women's wombs and murdering tens of thousands of protesters was evidence-free atrocity propaganda.

Nobody needs me to tell them these things. Nobody needs me to tell them that this war is going to kill a whole lot of innocent people and inflict unfathomable amounts of suffering upon our species, both directly during these attacks and indirectly in the chaos and instability ensuing thereafter. Everyone already knows this.

Everyone already knows this, and it's happening anyway. They're just doing whatever evil things they want to do, without the slightest regard for public opinion or consent.

They're just going right ahead with a military operation to topple Tehran, after decades of inertia for fear of the horrific consequences it would unleash.

They're just choking off Cuba using siege warfare, which previous presidents refused to do because it would be a monstrous act of war.

They just kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation, which previous administrations had refused to do because it's plainly against international law.

They just helped Israel turn Gaza into a gravel parking lot and are now building a giant dystopian tech surveillance encampment to imprison the survivors.

They just designated an American company a "supply chain risk to national security" for the first time ever because the AI firm Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use its technology to operate autonomous killing machines and surveil American citizens — an open admission that the Pentagon plans on using AI to run autonomous killing machines and surveil American citizens.

There's an old Frank Zappa quote that's been popping into my head more and more lately:

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

We're seeing a lot more bricks lately.

That's all I can think to say right now.

I once got a text from a guy saying that he enjoyed our date but didn’t think we should see each other again and I replied with ‘No problem, thanks for letting me know’.

He responded again 20 minutes later saying ‘I thought you might like to know why’ and I didn’t respond. He then sent me a three paragraph long message saying that I’m his dream girl but he didn’t like that I didn’t offer to split the check and that he was going to pay but he felt like I just expected him to pay. I still didn’t reply, I wasn’t interested in playing this game.

Over the next few days he sent multiple messages saying he’d be happy to give me another chance and that he really thought we connected. Again, I never replied.

The date was fine, I would have likely gone on another, but trying to keep women insecure to see if they anxiously attach to you is a fools game that I wasn’t interested in playing.

I hope he’s since learned that women who know how much value they bring aren’t going to grovel and apologize for expecting value to be returned.

The dolphins are getting Alzheimer's from algae blooms
caused by warming waters and toxic runoff

and you could see the bloodstains in Sudan 
from space.

The cobalt is mined by children
and the music is made by robots

and the grownups are wondering
where the fireflies went.

It is an elephant with an eyepatch and a prosthetic leg.
It's a freshly emptied bed in the nursing home.

A hand offers you pills to numb the dissonance,
but you swat it away and howl naked in the thorns.

Somewhere there's an ibis on a piano 
in a junkyard in the rain.

Somewhere else there's a small boy
who has just learned the word "treasure".

"Look! Buried treasure!" he tells his dad.
"No. That's just glass worn smooth by the sea."

"Is that treasure?"
"No, that's just a shiny candy wrapper 
shimmering in the sun."

"Ooh! THIS is treasure!"
"No that's garbage. Put it down."

And the boy's vision changes
and he no longer sees the treasure in things.

He runs to join his dad 
and they walk together down the shore

through a dying world
of fading wonder
full of worthless beach trash.

"He is wrong," you whisper 
as the blood leaves your body.

"There is treasure everywhere."

Israeli settlers were filmed torturing lambs which belonged to Palestinians in the West Bank.

Gouged their eyes out. Smashed them with cinder blocks. Beat them to death in front of their mothers.

Lambs.

It’s not the most evil thing the Israelis have done. Not by a long shot. Hell, all of human civilization subjects animals to cruel abuses every minute of every day through the horrors of factory farming.

But this particular incident shines a special sort of light into exactly what’s going on behind Israeli eyes over there in that sadistic society.

Think about the hatred and savagery you’d need to summon up within yourself to gouge the eyes out of a living baby sheep. Think about the kind of person you’d have to become to do something like that to an innocent creature.

Those lambs didn’t know they were Palestinian. They didn’t know anything about Hamas or October 7 or the Nazi Holocaust, or any of the other reasons Israelis generally cite for their abuses of human beings.

They were just sitting there, doing absolutely nothing that could possibly be construed as harmful by even the most talented hasbarist.

And those settlers went in there and inflicted completely gratuitous suffering upon them.

This, to me anyway, just says so much about the level of vitriolic hatred by which the state of Israel is sustained. It’s baked in to the way the whole state is set up.

Israel cannot be sustained without nonstop violence. The violence cannot be sustained without hatred. The hatred cannot be sustained without systematic indoctrination.

That indoctrination teaches Jewish Israelis from birth that the victims of their genocidal state are all inhuman monsters who would rape and murder them all if Israel ceased its apartheid abuses, militarism, and incessant violence. It teaches them that killing off their empathy and compassion is essential for their survival, because only the Jews who are willing to do whatever it takes to survive are going to make it.

Just in case their childhood indoctrination isn’t enough to sway them, Israelis are also made to serve in the military where they spend two years killing off any remaining sense of human decency within themselves as they inflict acts of unfathomable cruelty upon Palestinians as part of their duty to the state.

They are trained to believe they must have cold hearts and hard hands, because that is what’s necessary to do what must be done.

Those settlers who tortured those lambs believed they were doing what needed to be done. They believe they need to terrorize the Palestinians and make life so nightmarish for them that they go somewhere else, which will allow for more Jewish settlement on Palestinian territory.

Those tortured lambs were the product of everything that Israel is as a state. Which could of course be said about every victim of Israeli sadism over the last eight decades, human and non-human alike.

This is Israel. This is Zionism. This is what it looks like when Zionists get everything they want. You’re looking at it. This is it.

Israel can’t keep going like this. Humanity can’t keep going like this. We need better systems. Better ideologies. Better motivators driving our behavior.

All our systems which drive cruelty and abusiveness around the world need to go the way of the dinosaur. Zionism. Capitalism. Imperialism. All our competition-based systems which pit us against other people, other ethnicities, other countries, and our own biosphere.

We need to move into collaboration-based systems which advance justice, equality, and well-being for all of earth’s creatures. Because what we’ve been doing clearly isn’t working.

🚨The victim of Israel's gang rape on camera has been identified (I'll withhold his name until he speaks on the record)

IDF soldiers raped him so violently until they exploded his intestines & raptured his rectum

He underwent 20 surgical operations, inc. colostomy & urostomy, & is still suffering medical complications until now

Israel released him 3 weeks ago without him ever being charged or tried. They likely released him so he wouldn't be able to testify at court against his rapists who are still at large.

The victim is now fearful for his life; he could be killed in any Israeli strike to cover up this atrocity

The IDF top lawyer who opened a sham investigation into this incident a year ago has just been fired, disgraced, detained & is herself now being investigated. Her only reason for launching a probe into this rape incident (out of hundreds of others that are never investigated) is because this one was caught on camera & the victim was hospitalized with a detailed medical record, so she started her "investigation" to prevent the ICC from intervening
