Incredible.

'It’s easy to forget that capitalism is a system based on violence; hierarchy; the domination of some groups over others. To understand what we’re witnessing in Gaza, we have to understand everything else.'

After plunging Gaza into a total blackout and facing global outrage over war crimes, Netanyahu launches a war with Iran — and calls on the U.S. to clean it up. Israel’s illegal strikes, settler colonialism, and genocidal campaigns run on American cover and cash.

"Israeli fire and air strikes have killed at least 58 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, many of them near an aid distribution site operated by the United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), according to local health authorities, the latest deaths of people desperately seeking food for their hungry families."

Melissa Hortman was a Democrat.

Murdered for being a Democrat.

Every headline should say so.

This was political terrorism.

This is Las Vegas. Suddenly, law enforcement officers decided to teach peaceful protesters a lesson by arresting them. The whole sequence was livestreamed.

“#Israel’s message [with these attacks] is that there is no political solution for anything in the region. By striking #Iran they want to sabotage the US-Iran negotiations as well as the international wave of support for concrete measures on #Palestine.”

"In the hours after #Israel attacked #Iran, food shipments and distribution in #Gaza stopped, and a French-Saudi summit meant to pave the way for wider recognition of a Palestinian state was postponed indefinitely."

A question for the physicists on #mastodon
Sound comes in waves - check
Sound is massless - check
How can wind blow sound towards or away from you?

PLEASE BOOST: Icelandair broke two wheels off my new suitcase. I'm stuck in KEF airport in Iceland. Is the reach of Mastodon powerful enough that it can find someone nearby who can help me get a new suitcase that has dimensions that can be checked on Austrian Air? I think that's 158 cm linear.

"Padilla stated, 'I am Senator Alex Padilla,' before attempting to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question.

That is...kinda really important.

As we speak, the right wingers over at FOX are convincing themselves that roughing up a US Senator was just fine and dandy because Padilla did not identify himself and bum rushed Noem. It is, of course, a lie."

I am joining the #NoKings protest on Saturday.

Why?

Because when a threshold of 3.5% of the population engages in a non-violent protest, the result is (consistently) major change.

You may not know but three cases that were brought by private schools & parents arguing that the imposition of VAT on private schools was a breach of human rights have been working their way through court... only to be dismissed today, with the conclusion that despite claims, the imposition of VAT did not impede children's access to education, it just reduced rich people's options to those enjoyed by most families.

Exactly!
