The United States is the only nation among the 48 competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup that does not guarantee universal healthcare for its citizens. The Green Party has long advocated for a single payer, improved and expanded Medicare for All, eliminating the abusive role and profits of insurance companies. No co-pays, deductibles or premiums. https://t.co/homajDolHr
@923TheFan Because this has nothing to do with the defensive coordinator who got the man a DPOY and the sack record getting passed over for the HC position...
This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO
Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
The BBC just released a documentary on Israeli snipers shooting children in the head.
168 cases. 95 shot in the head or chest. Over two-thirds under age 12.
This has been happening since October 2023.
It is now April 2026.
I'll never forget how the Israelis bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023 and the world was shocked and horrified. Israel denied it, saying they would never commit such a heinous crime.
Then they went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza.
Now they are doing the same in Lebanon and Iran. The Israelis have bombed at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon. In Iran, the US and Israel have bombed 25 hospitals and medical centres.
In Lebanon, they are committing double tap strikes to kill medics and rescue workers, just as they did in Gaza. Medics are forced to delay their responses.
These monsters are normalizing war crimes that were once unthinkable.
"Hace años, un estudiante le preguntó a la antropóloga Margaret Mead cuál consideraba ella que era el primer signo de civilización en una cultura. El estudiante esperaba que Mead hablara de anzuelos, ollas de barro o piedras de moler.
Pero no. Mead dijo que el primer signo de civilización en una cultura antigua era un fémur que se había roto y luego sanado. Mead explicó que en el reino animal, si te rompes una pierna, mueres. No puedes huir del peligro, ir al río a tomar algo o buscar comida. Eres carne de bestias que merodean. Ningún animal sobrevive a una pierna rota el tiempo suficiente para que el hueso sane.
Un fémur roto que se ha curado es evidencia de que alguien se ha tomado el tiempo para quedarse con el que se cayó, ha vendado la herida, le ha llevado a un lugar seguro y le ha ayudado a recuperarse. Mead dijo que ayudar a alguien más en las dificultades es el punto donde comienza la civilización". (Ira Byock)
🚨NEW DATA: When a Democratic president joined with Republicans & corporate donors to pass NAFTA, it killed the working class - not just figuratively, but LITERALLY.
NAFTA may be memory-holed - but it is the sliding-door moment that explains American politics today.
