🚨#BREAKING: Over 45,000 U.S. port workers have officially gone on strike from Maine to Texas for the first time since 1977
📌#Unitedstates | #USA
Currently, nearly 50,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) are on strike for the first time since 1977, stopping operations at the East and Gulf Coast ports of the United States, according to the Associated Press. The strike has disrupted the flow of many imports and exports, potentially making it one of the most significant work stoppages in decades. Dockworkers began picketing shortly after their contract expired at midnight, with no agreement in sight. There is a significant gap between the union's demands and the offer from the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), which represents foreign-owned shipping lines, terminal operators, and port authorities. The strike is expected to block the movement of a wide range of goods through nearly all cargo ports from Maine to Texas, including everything from toys and fresh fruit to furniture, clothing, household items, and European automobiles.
there are lots of people in Atlanta under a boil water advisory after a water main break. they can’t go outside to buy water because of the chlorine gas in the air from a chemical plant explosion. some won’t hear any of this news because they still have no power from the storm.
ahead of what appears to be derrick rose’s retirement tomorrow, thank you once again for everything you did with this city’s name on your jersey and treating the M like it’s your home.
it always will be. 💙

Israel hides it's military command centres, including Netanyahu's personal bunker, in the middle of Tel Aviv, under civilian infrastructure, to use them as human shields.
If this is the area I think it is, these trees are, at minimum, 500-1000 years old. The oldest is al Badawi, est. 5,000 years old. The Garden of Gethsemane olive trees are ~3000 years old, and these are their descendants. Colonialism’s erasure of history is ecological too
LEAKED DOCUMENTS show that the Biden administration knew Israel was blocking food from entering Gaza.
Antony Blinken lied because he didn't want to cut off weapons to Israel.
Have y’all sat down and thought about how traumatic it is to be a witness to this? And how many times folk have had to witness it before? The entire country has spent the last few days keeping up with countdown’s for this man’s execution. This is so dystopian
Former CIA Director Leon Panetta calls Israel's explosive pager operation "terrorism" in an interview with CBS today:
"I don't think there's any question it's a form of terrorism."
"When you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: what the hell is next?"
"The forces of war are largely in control right now of what's going on."
