The White House Gave Israel Coordinates to Save an American’s Family. Then Israel Bombed Them Again. The Alsayed brothers lost their mother in the first bombing. They thought the White House could help save the survivors.

The White House gave Israel the coordinates of an American family in Gaza, ostensibly to protect them. Israel used those coordinates to bomb them.

Democrat Frost slams DOGE: Billionaires ‘cosplaying as government officials’ Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) criticized President-elect Trump’s choices to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), saying it’s “two billionaires who are co…

DOGE is nothing more than two billionaires cosplaying as government officials. I’m all for making government for efficient, but these guys just want to slash resources for agencies that help working people.

Israel attacks hospital in northern Gaza, leaving bodies lying in streets, director says

Hi Lexi! So happy to see you on here @lexialex.bsky.social. Have been missing you and your voice on X.

Over two million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic levels of famine due to Israel's continued blockade on humanitarian aid and severe shortages of food and flour.

The lack of flour has caused prices to skyrocket, making it unaffordable for many families, 1/2👇🏻

This is so morally depraved. I can't even begin to think of what this must feel like.

We were telling you before this genocide.

Israel just brought down a full residential apartment block in the Basta area in Beirut without warning, at 4am in the morning. Families sleeping soundly in their beds, to wake as their ceilings collapsed in on them.

This is the US-Israel axis of evil at play

Washington post editorial board: the international criminal court is not the fifth place to hold Israel to account The icc is needed to help resolve war crimes in Russia, Sudan, Myanmar. Targeting Israel makes that harder.

Nasty work here from the editorial board.

The Observer view: ICC’s Israel arrest warrants are a test the world must not fail International criminal court’s intervention must be supported if global rules-based order is to have a meaningful future The decision by the international criminal court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, and…

It is fairly devastating for the future of humankind that the richest person in the world is a not so smart but extremely vain and narcissistic alt right extremist. And perhaps even a full-blown white nationalist.

Everyone wants to go viral but no one wants to stop a virus.

Grateful to her for saying this. Tired of no one taking COVID seriously. When your child's life may depend on societal protections and community care to minimize viral harm, it's depressing to see the world turn away.

Riaan gets more video calls on my phone than I do!

The indictment makes clear that Donald Trump and his accomplices planned to seize power by force and then maintain that power through the mass murder of American citizens by their own military

One of the scariest aspects of our modern era is how much blatant lying has been normalized.

I've never had a good experience with one.

Just read today that an ABC producer - a middle-aged white man - was charged with possessing child porn, among other things, and once bragged about "raping a toddler girl." It's not possible to feel more disgusted by men.

This month:

-Hottest month in recorded history
-Maybe hottest month in tens of thousands of years
-Study warns of potential collapse of critical Atlantic Ocean circulation
-Study warns CO2 removal might not reverse some climatic changes
-New IPCC head says world is guaranteed to pass 1.5 degrees

It’s hard enough to mandate human working conditions for farmworkers in heat and smoke, such as water breaks, shade, protection from smoke inhalation, or work stoppages due to hazardous conditions.

ENFORCING those mandates is an entirely separate uphill struggle!

Hey John

This is such a horrifying and scary tragedy.

This rhetoric, enslaved people learned skills that contributed to their betterment, is a big part of prison "reform" on the right and left. While they're in jail they've gone to school, learned skills, etc. as if they could not have done those things without being incarcerated or enslaved.
