Obviously, we've already known since last year, but Haaretz has confirmed earlier reporting by Electronic Intifada on Israel's use of the Hannibal Directive. This admission deals a heavy blow to American and Israeli propaganda. 🔻🇵🇸 www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“The last time the people of Sudan faced a famine on today’s scale was in 1984. …The famine of 1984-85, which killed about 240,000 people across Sudan, most of them children, eventually became known as ‘Reagan’, after the US dispatch of food relief.” www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/ju...

In what is certain to be a shock to everybody who has vociferously denied that the IOF used the Hannibal Directive on October 7, Haaretz reports that the IOF used the Hannibal Directive on October 7

If they’re comfortable killing other people, they will eventually be comfortable killing you. You can learn that lesson the easy way or the hard way.

Nearly 2 million people have been displaced in Gaza – almost the entire population – after the Israeli military last week ordered a further 80,000 people to evacuate parts of Gaza City amid a renewed ground operation, the latest UN figures show.

Iʻm also thinking about people who have been wounded, injured, maimed and otherwise disabled, and then forced to flee, however they can. Hungry. Thirsty. Exhausted. Including the old and very young. One of many mass disabling events that is being conducted and justified right now.
And maiming and disabling people, especially the young, is a strategy—an explicit goal— that did not start on Oct 7. Chapter 4 of Jasbir K. Puar's "Right to Maim" discusses shoot to cripple, "policy of injuries" to cause disability for life, etc. Read Free Here jasbirkpuar.com/the-right-to...

They are an indefensible bunch of fascists, irredeemable and should not be listened to at all. And none of that is new. America has two fascist parties that disagree on the domestic social issues, as they bomb the world with impunity. youtu.be/4iFYaeoE3n4

Francisco's lived in Coachella, CA for 40+ yrs & irrigates lemon, date, mango & palm trees. "I've noticed the last few years that temperatures keep increasing. I had to stop watering mango trees today at 1:30 as temps were 111° - but felt like 116° between the trees." #WeFeedYou

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I came to my 14 year old with a concern about social media. He literally took his glasses off, rubbed his temples, and asked: “what have the moms on the internet said now?” 😯🫤😆

Are cherries on your #July4 menu? They come thanks to workers like Pablo who shared this pic from where he was harvesting cherries in Yakima WA. He works piece rate. This means he rushes to pick as many as possible while getting the quality growers require. #WeFeedYou

“Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis, when talking to children. They tell us, we’re waiting for our legs to grow again. Sometimes, it’s difficult to explain that that’s not going to happen.”

48-year-old fellow writer Leigh Dragoon is obsessed with me on a frightening level. She's incriminating me based on the WIKIPEDIA PAGE FOR MY WHOLE ETHNIC GROUP, dug up my personal Facebook, harassed and ranted about me on multiple platforms (including here), and trying to get others to do so too

Tangentially a white veteran on TikTok pointed out it’s absurd that in a country where so many suburban white folk leave the comfort & safety of their communities only to find themselves in war zones overseas due to Love Of Country that we act shocked that a guy whose mom got blown up joins Hamas.

Did this chucklefuck on the train just ask the conductor if we could express to get his scheduled stop because he has a meeting he can’t miss and we are stopped for emergency maintenance?
