It's the 1,000th day of war since a Hamas-led attack on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza. Both Israelis and Palestinians are weary of the strain. The fate of over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, largely displaced and living amid ruins, remains uncertain.

Gaza war’s 1,000 days: 90% of strip ‘destroyed’, 80% ‘seized’ by Israel https://aje.news/dnstzj

The US Presbyterian Church has just voted to divest from Palantir & GE Aerospace; recognize the genocide in Gaza; and call for an arms embargo and boycott of genocide-complicit Israeli companies. Cites Palantir & GE's tech being used by human rights violators like ICE, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

Remember Aaron Bushnell

Aaron Bushnell tried to warn us that our military had begun participating in barbarism. taskandpurpose.com/news/airman-...

This was an unprecedented act of dissent by an active-duty USAF serviceman

Remember the US secret service agent who drew his firearm on Aaron Bushnell while he was burning? The claim is that he drew his firearm to protect two other agents as they were attempting to extinguish the fire, like the young man burning and screaming “free Palestine” was a threat.

"Even as we fund the genocidal war machine rolling across Palestine we are required to remain as silent as the thousands of children who lie beneath the rubble." Thanks for speaking up Mr @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social

#PenelopeKeith * www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Penelope Keith had the extraordinary ability to poke fun at the cruellest qualities of Englishness, without ever making the material cruel. She created characters who were ludicrous, superior, bigoted, without ever being unlikeable or cold. It is one of the greatest magic tricks an actor can pull.

RIP. Not sure anyone ever captured English suburbia better. Those silly sitcoms were invaluable social history

RIP Penelope Keith Sheer class.

Penelope Keith, 10/10, no notes. RIP youtu.be/S-5Lp8v2t5A?...

Rest In Peace ❤️🕊️

not even funny, it’s the way these two look at each other the entire movie. it’s chemically indistinguishable from romance, how aware and alive they are to the knowledge they’ve caught lightning in a bottle

How might H5N1 (bird flu)—now in at least two Australian states—affect native wildlife and ecosystems, and compound Australia's extinction crisis? Some thoughts from me 👉 theconversation.com/bird-flu-has...

'Woinarski says if the #birdflu arrivals of recent wks do not spread into native animal poplns now, it will happen sooner or later. “And it is a gruesome death. The birds lose their coordination.. have a tortured death... More than 1,700 species & unique habitats are considered threatened in Aus'

Today is the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Around 10,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons, including 3,500 people imprisoned without charge or trial and at least 340 children. Plus thousands more disappeared in Gaza.

Get ready for our week of prison broadcasts during this year’s Beyond the Bars. Hear directly from First Nations inmates across Victorian prisons in conversation with 3CR’s First Nations broadcast team. Daily from 11am during NAIDOC Week 6-10 July. #communityradio #prisonradio

Grateful to have Overland Journal's that's given us powerful writing like this one that I keep sharing “The labour of constantly translating grief into acceptable language, of remaining calm, generous, and persuasive, is carried by those least able to set it down.” Please chip in if you can!

Great to hear, but the people imprisoned there have simply been moved elsewhere, so their suffering continues.
