β€œWalking corpses”: Israel's blockade starves Gazans, aid groups say "People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking corpses."

β€œAs the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. [H]umanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.”

Too many breezing by these headlines. Whether we notice or not; whether we care about these massacres or not; all of us are tethered to funding this. That will eat your guts out if you see it. If you pretend not to, a price is paid for that as well. And we lack an electoral option to make it stop.

Kat Abughazaleh Is the Gen Z Granddaughter of Nakba Survivors, and She's Running for Congress The 26-year-old is running to represent Chicago on Capitol Hill.

Her experience reporting on conspiracy theories has propelled her to call out antisemitism while also attacking any conflation of antisemitism with campus protests that have been central to the Trump administration's attacks.
"Most of them were extremely peaceful and also had a lot of Jewish leaders," she says, noting that she attended the encampment at GWU.
"To call that antisemitic is an insult to the protesters that were there. It's what authoritarians always do: They attack education, Jewish people, queer people, immigrants, any noticeable minority to try to pit them against other people," she says, noting the prevalence of the "great replacement theory" among senior U.S. officials.

Growing up in post-9/11 Texas, Abughazaleh notes the effort her father made to break cycles of trauma by ensuring his children were around Jewish people.
"I have lots of Jewish friends who also had the same thing, where their parents or grandparents, survived the Holocaust. There's no arguing with trauma. When you're traumatized and afraid, you lash out, you make notions that might never be dispelled. But your kids can do that. Now, our generation is kind of trying to continue the work and not just break the cycle, but join together," she says.

It's idiotic to think people are going to follow rules when people in power ignore them. It's an invitation to anarchy.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Anyone who has ever said the Holocaust was disgusting should be objecting to this. Loudly.

There are food trucks, waiting to deliver relief. Israel won't let them in.

Albanese says he received 'very warm' phone call from Donald Trump The prime minister says he received a "very warm" congratulatory phone call from US President Donald Trump, but says his first overseas visit in the wake of his historic election win will be to Jakart...

"My first international visit will be just like last time [and] my first bilateral was to Indonesia," he said... to check how the joint ongoing genocide against West Papua is going
And if indonesia will need to send troops here to quell 'Australian' riots when nothing improves under labor.

Biden never pressured Israel for ceasefire, as Israeli officials boast of exploiting US support The administration of former US President, Joe Biden, knowingly allowed Israel’s genocide in Gaza to continue long after it had lost any clear military objective, with senior officials in Washington.....

Confirmation that U.S. claims of working "tirelessly" for a ceasefire were false.
