BBC reporting 42 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza City, this atop 22 killed in “safe zone” al-Mawasi yesterday, in case anyone thought this was slowing down.

Poor people aren’t fundamentally broken, or making “bad choices,” or lazy or stupid or reckless or incompetent; they just don’t have the resources (cash) to make good choices.
As the 72738th study demonstrates, the answer to poverty is cash

My story on how Biden has alienated young voters through his stance on Gaza, failure to combat climate change, banning TikTok, ignoring the ongoing pandemic, boosting police funding, and more
Gen Z influencers who supported Biden in 2020 turn against himwww.washingtonpost.com The Gaza war, lack of progress on climate change and a potential TikTok ban are spawning anti-Biden content — even among former supporters.

Let housing market "slowly acclimate" to climate risk, Fannie Mae exec says. “If we go 20 or 30 years without taking real climate action, then I think you have built up a real challenge.” Sorry, this won’t work. The housing market is vulnerable THIS YEAR to a rude shock; at most, we have 15 years.

The New York Times hired an actual genocide supporter who'd never even been a journalist to co-author atrocity propaganda about mass rapes on October 7. If the western media actually told the truth and reported the news, this revelation would be a major international story today.

While people are facing famine & genocide, the genocidaires are blocking aid trucks from reaching them, camping out & doing parties & dancing to block trucks. What kind of sick psychopaths do this? They are your doctors, lawyers, neighbors, teachers, pundits, politicians & their offsprings. Vile.
As Gaza strains under a food crisis, some Israeli protesters are trying to block aidwww.npr.org The World Food Program says one in four people in Gaza face extreme hunger. But in recent weeks, a small movement has emerged in Israel that is intent on stopping humanitarian aid from flowing in.

Human history is but a blink of an eye in the grand timeline of the Earth. We need to ask ourselves if we want to be wiped off the surface like millions of species before us ... or wake up? I'm just so annoyed that politicians do. not. understand. Or do not care, because elections, blabla.

The bar used to be "I hope Joe Biden loses". The bar is now "I hope Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Avril Haynes, John Kirby and others are charged with war crimes."
