Palestinians gathered in the ruins of southern Gaza to celebrate a mass wedding of more than 50 couples, a rare moment of hope after two years of war and tragedy.
hopelessness is tempting. look at Cubans fighting a 50-year blockade, Palestinians holding the line since the 1948 Nakba. there’s always a world to win, and no good reason not to keep going for it
no wars ended
cost of living still high
economy imploding
unlimited money to israel
trumps in epstein files
workers getting kidnapped everywhere
at least he banned trans athletes!
at least he’s canceling kimmel!
you’re an easily tricked adult and a fucking loser
JUST IN: Greta Thunberg before setting sail to Gaza:
Palestinians have been dehumanized to such an extent that they are only spoken of in terms of numbers and UN resolutions.
“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.”
“I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.”

ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face.
“See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.”
Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming. I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull. And with every step, that bull was closing in. Fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
UnitedHealthcare has dropped Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from its network, leaving 20,000 cancer patients (including me) without access to our doctors and life-saving treatment starting July 1.
Cancer patients cannot simply “go elsewhere.” Finding new specialists takes time many of us don’t have. This reckless decision will overload other hospitals, delay care, and endanger lives.
What kind of company knowingly disrupts cancer treatment for thousands of people? Shame on you, @UHC.
Israel doesn’t have a right to exist as a Jewish state (helpfully defined by the 2018 nation-state law) because that’s apartheid and it’s illegal under customary international law
