Only 73 aid trucks entered Gaza as officials call airdrops a ‘farce’ - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/only-73-aid-trucks-entered-gaza-officials-call-airdrops-farce

Truth tellers: Gideon Levy and @haaretzcom.bsky.social We need to call out the genocide deniers. They are making our nations complicit in the mass killing of a people.

One phone call to let #Israel know that the supply of weapons is frozen, the diplomatic cover is withdrawn and that sanctions are being imposed would stop the genocidal starvation of the people of #Gaza.

In which a Toronto cop gives $325 tickets to cyclists who slow-roll a changing red light, but two videos beforehand, ignores a driver who slow-rolls a stop sign because he’s a “fair and reasonable person.”

Israeli settlers, backed by the Israeli military, forced 30 Palestinians from a small town into homelessness through targeted attacks. Settlers went home by home, forcing the last 20 families out at gunpoint. This is ethnic cleansing.

I never used to see rabbits in Toronto. Then, suddenly, I began seeing them everywhere. Then I lost my mind investigating urban bunnies. Please read my a journey into the heart of rabbit madness. thelocal.to/more-rabbits...

“Reuters examined the data from the Gaza Health Ministry to look more closely at those who have died. It found that more than one-fifth of those killed in the territory were children under the age of 12. More than 1,200 families were completely wiped out”

Journalists who have taken until now to speak out about Israel's genocide have no excuses. All the evidence was there from the beginning. The likes of @scotnational.bsky.social called it right - and you treated them with contempt. A reckoning is coming 👇 thenational.scot/news/world/2...

Just let the scale of this depravity sink in.

Name them, shame them, charge them with war crimes. This is the face of a criminal regime. If Beni Aharon claims he didn't commit these atrocities he can turn himself in at the Hague. At least he will get a fair hearing. That is much more than Hind Rajab got from the Israeli murder squad.

Thank you, Greta Thunberg & @freedomflotilla.bsky.social for calling attention to the murderous Israeli blockade on Gaza! We are disgusted but not surprised at the drone attacks on your ship. The people stand with you and the world IS watching. #FreePalestine www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrOe...

File this under the genre of white folk not realizing racism existed before they were annoyed about having to learn that fact

A mob of Hasidic men in Brooklyn chase down a woman who came to protest Ben-Gvir. This sort of reaction has become normalized in NYC and LA, where violence against protestors has spiked enormously since October 7th. This largely isn't covered or addressed by media, despite how widespread it is.

Poilievre's actual announcement today: he'd amend the Criminal Code to give police power to charge people for living in a homeless encampment or a tent city He said these are places where "half-dead, contorted bodies lie on the ground on the verge of overdose from fentanyl" Compassionate!! /s

Over 600,000 children at risk of ‘permanent paralysis’ as Israeli blockade suspends polio vaccination campaign in Gaza - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/over-600000-children-risk-permanent-paralysis-israeli-blockade-suspends

NEWS | An 11-month-old Palestinian child died of hunger in Gaza this morning, as Israel continues to block life-saving humanitarian under its official policy.

No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days. Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.

“Comans made her decision after weighing a single piece of evidence from the government, submitted in court two days earlier: a one-and-a-half-page letter written by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.”

That’s something that’s rarely well-reported: the Israelis don’t just bomb the areas they tell Gazans are safe. They bomb the roads that lead to those areas. They then bomb the rescue workers who try to reach the bombed areas. It’s a game for them.

Most media outlets don’t show the maps that the IDF puts out daily to terrorise the people of Gaza. If you add them all up over 18 months you’ll see that the Israelis have constantly forced civilians to be on the move - what’s more, they regularly bomb the places they tell people to flee to.

Yesterday I shared w/ my students their rights should ICE come on campus. "Of course," I said, "that's just the law." Here's a woman who knew her rights. They protected her twice, because she knew they needed a warrant. The third time ICE came, the agent said, "“I don’t need to show you the order."

Video shows civil defense teams in Gaza rescuing a wounded Palestinian in Rafah under heavy Israeli fire.

This story is so horrifying it is actually also a perfect case study of media literacy. Look at this headline by the BBC. Is this how one should write the headline for the story of an army massacring medics, burying the ambulances, dumping the bodies in a mass grave, and then lying about it?

The UN says at least 100 children have been killed or injured every day in Gaza since Israeli attacks resumed on March 18, even as the US underscores continued support for Israel.

Phone footage appears to contradict Israeli account of killing of Gaza paramedics

Overwhelmed by the sheer depth of this evil — the unrelenting horror of what Israel is doing in Gaza and the monstrous complicity that enables it.

UPDATE: Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student in child development at Tufts University whose visa was revoked by the Trump administration, has finally spoken to her lawyer after being transferred to an ICE detention center in Basile, Louisiana.

UPDATE: Palestinian Red Crescent teams have recovered the body of Anwar Al-Attar, head of the Civil Defense mission in Tel al-Sultan, Rafah, after coordinating with the UN’s humanitarian agency (OCHA) to enter the area, following five days of blocked access.

This is what fascism looks like, folks

#MayDay in Toronto this year.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

BREAKING: The Israeli military has hit the Turkish Friendship Hospital for Cancer Patients in central Gaza, the only medical facility delivering cancer care in the besieged enclave. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/81f3yk

Israel launches Gaza airstrikes on second day of resumed offensive

URGENT: Israel has ended the ceasefire deal killing over 400 Palestinians, including children. This comes after they shut down electricity and blocked food from entering Gaza. Send a message to @mark-carney.bsky.social & MPs demanding an #ArmsEmbargo now: leadnow.ca/campaigns/ca... #FreePalestine

More than half of all fossil fuel carbon emissions came from just 36 companies in 2023. Major fossil fuel companies, including Saudi Aramco, Coal India, ExxonMobil and Shell produced more than 20 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2023. earth.org/36-fossil-fu...

Weird how Cass was splashed worldwide, but multiple countries produce reviews that all rubbish Cass and come to completely different conclusions (namely that PBs are effective and as safe for trans kids as cis) yet you wouldn't know about them if you weren't online and following people like Erin

The kind of local service provision socialist parties used to excel at: “The party came out with two apps, one to check heating bills, and one to check rent levels […] You could just scan and send in your heating bill and a party volunteer would look at it and tell you if you’re being overcharged.”
