Starving children with health conditions is actually as bad if not worse than starving children without health conditions. Idk how to explain this to a génocidaire defending a manmade famine though.

Benjamin Netanyahu saying he wants to sue newspapers because they depicted Palestinian children with health conditions being starved feels like the most two dimensional villain thing he’s ever said, but I’m sure he’ll come up with something worse in the next two hours.

The inside story of how America sent nuclear weapons to Britain Nukewatch UK explains how it tracked the bombs being flown across the Atlantic.

US nuclear weapons with three times the power of the Hiroshima bomb have just been transported to England, new evidence suggests.

The government doesn’t want the public to know.

Here’s how Nukewatch UK tracked the bombs’ journey.

A friend has asked for examples of libraries — public, private, academic, etc. — that launch inventive, esp formally experimental *exhibitions.* NYPL + BPL, of course. I also love the Philly Free Library’s hallway cubby exhibitions (below). I’d welcome other recs!

Israeli Military Attacks Handala in International Waters, Abducts 21
Unarmed Civilians
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirms that its civilian
vessel Handala, en route to break Israel's illegal, genocidal blockade on Palestinians in Gaza, has been violently intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters about forty nautical miles from Gaza. At 11:43 Palestine time the Occupation cut the
cameras on board Handala and we have lost all
communication with our ship. The unarmed boat was carrying life-saving supplies when it was boarded by Israeli forces, its passengers abducted, and its cargo seized. The interception occurred in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, in violation of international maritime law.
Handala carried a shipment of critical humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza, including baby formula, diapers, food, and medicine. All cargo was non-military, civilian, and intended for direct distribution to a population facing deliberate starvation and medical collapse under Israel's illegal blockade.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed via a press release posted to socials that Israeli naval forces seized the Handala. It claims the civilians aboard are safe. Meanwhile, crew members' pleas for help from their governments are being posted to @freedomflotilla.bsky.social.

Two war criminals, Trump and Netanyahu, plot to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank.

Two evil racist liars and crooks commiting GENOCIDE with your tax dollars.

Absolutely everything Conservative Christians say about Sharia law is what they want to do themselves in America. Banning women’s rights and LGBTQ rights is literally their highest priority. They just think they should be the ones doing it.

State Department Revokes Bob Vylan's Visa Over Glastonbury Performance The Department of State revoked Bob Vylan's U.S. visa following their performance at Glastonbury, where the duo advocated to 'free Palestine.'

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe.

The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

The only question about human rights applying: “is this creature human?”

If baroness harkonnen von chucklefuck can’t get that basic tenet right, she should have her land and title and all power stripped.

Opioid pills discovered in US-backed food aid, Gaza authorities say US-Israeli aid distributor the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been widely condemned for possible complicity in war crimes

Trump and Israel created this fake non-profit as a trap. The USA sent food laced with opioids. Why? Easier control and remove of Palastinians out of Gaza, if they aren't shot or don't OD from the drugs. The UN today said that the drugs are war crime by the USA.

Not teaching kids that queerness exists doesn't prevent them from being queer.

It will, however, hurt many of them and get some of them killed.

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives.

The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.
