Israel uses video from Gaza genocide to market arms to European, Asian countries - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-uses-video-gaza-genocide-market-arms-european-asian-countries

A group of students and staff members of Leipzig University have demanded that their institution suspend cooperation with its Israeli partners until they “recognise the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people” and “end all forms of complicity in violating Palestinian rights” #israel #Palestine

Of note, it was Democratic presidents, especially Biden, that gave Israel totally unchecked power. “Israel receives treatment that no other ally or partner enjoys. When other countries buy U.S. weapons, the sales are subject to a bevy of U.S. laws; Israel has never truly been compelled to comply.”

685,000 NYPD stops on the predicate of collecting guns. Only 2% produced weapons. 85% of stops involved Black & Latino men. 3 terms with Bloomberg. Now these same wealthy New Yorkers insist that young & working class voters defer to the alleged “superior” judgment of the millionaires & billionaires.

Rescuers and aid workers fanned out across Jamaica on Saturday to distribute food and water and reach communities still isolated four days after Hurricane Melissa hit the island.

AI is elderly abuse to be honest. It's impossible to explain to someone over 80 why they can't believe what they've just seen.

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

hope the waltons burn in hell for how they’ve worked to keep it low and gotten taxpayers to subsidize their billions

working 14 hour days with no money left after rent really beat it in to me how exhausting it is to exist on $30 of groceries for half a month.

even if something “just costs a dollar at the store” it also costs time. bus fare if the bus can even get you there. energy you don’t have after work.

i did my americorps service at a place called bridging, where people got to shop for free for home goods when they had little to nothing. abuse survivors, fire victims, people getting their first secure housing silverware, cooking utensils—they were like gold. people got their first pan.

it gets tiring to keep explaining what it means to be poor to people. it is not that poor people don’t know that cooking is cheaper: cooking costs time. it costs pots and pans. it costs a working stove and your utilities on. it costs you’ve been on your feet all day and your babies are tired.

Also people tend to assume a level of family support that poor people are less likely to have hence their struggles to say afloat

Every time I forget for a few minutes she's a fuckin chucklehead, she rushes to remind me.

If your medication was made in a contaminated factory, the FDA won’t tell you. Even ProPublica reporters hit a dead end when trying to track down where a popular prescription drug (atorvastatin, which treats high cholesterol) was made and whether the factory had a troubled record.

If you want to stand up for marginalized populations, the first step — before any action — is: LISTEN. Be aware that groups more vulnerable than your own have a better understanding of the risks they face than you do. Don’t decide *for.* Act *with.* 3

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

'...Hind Rajab Foundation... identified 3 Israeli commanders & 22 soldiers involved in the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab. The soldiers... were identified using a combination of forensic evidence... including material posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoA_...

Israel is an apartheid state, hates Christians. assaulting Christians during Holy Saturday processions in Jerusalem—beating, detaining, and turning worshipers away from their own holy site.

your bill was atrocious, your policy positions re: immigration are violent and oppressive, and you should be embarrassed to be so very functionally indistinguishable from the GOP.
