Gaza City is literally living through its final days, and every passing day makes life here more difficult and unbearable.
We are losing what little remains of our resources and capabilities, with no alternatives available. Dozens of essential goods and raw materials are still prohibited from entering. Every basic necessity of life is gradually disappearing from the city. I am not exaggerating; this is the reality we are living. Things you take for granted in your everyday lives, things you barely think twice about, are simply unavailable here.
It has reached the point where even lighters are no longer available. Wood, iron, cement, and all other construction materials are prohibited from entering. Bakeries, water stations, and shops are shutting down one after another because of shortages of fuel, oils, and raw materials. Even the agricultural sector has been almost entirely destroyed after approximately 70% of agricultural land was seized.
We are not simply facing a shortage of goods. We are gradually losing everything that allows a city to function, survive, and sustain life.
What is happening is pushing Gaza City towards complete dependence on external aid, rather than allowing it to produce its own necessities and provide for its people.
Write, share, and speak about what is happening. Do not stop amplifying our voices.

That isn’t what the U.S. government says on its internal documents.
Blunders? Your entire 67-year communist experiment has been one colossal blunder.
Blackouts. Breadlines. 800+ political prisoners. Millions fleeing Cuba while the communist elite—like you—live like kings.
Your boss just presided over your worst UN vote in 20 years.
The only fiction here is that communism works.

Do people imagine Mao *decided* to crash the agricultural sector and off tens of millions of people? When you have a highly populous and dense country which is also highly food insecure, famines killing millions tends to be an unfortunately common occurence.

In Hebron, 22-year-old university student Ahmad Imraish describes how Israeli forces forced his family out of their home at gunpoint and demolished it without warning.

See the thing about this is that if a white voter said “if this black candidate wins all white people will get murdered” you wouldn’t print that because you would understand that person to be a deranged racist freak and yet you printed this as a legitimate opinion
As I followed pro-El-Sayed Jewish canvasses, I found evidence that Rogers’s ethnic divide-and-conquer strategy was working with at least some Jews. Some expressed outright fear, with one saying that “if Abdul wins, there’s going to be another Holocaust.” jewishcurrents.org/in-michig…

Explain how the killing of two soldiers manning a checkpoint as a part of an illegal military occupation was a “criminal act” please
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

this is a fascist empire that values material, immovable, non-sentient objects more than it values human lives and bodies

Palestinians have an absolute legal and moral right to resist a genocidal and illegal military occupation. The only parties to blame for these killings are those who sent the occupation gunmen to terrorize and oppress Palestinians and those like @EUinIsrael and the US that fund them.

Jason Alexander says he feared visiting Palestine as a Jew until 10 Palestinians protected him during an Israeli army raid in Ramallah
“How much of a risk would I be taking as an American Jew walking into Palestinian cities? And Mohammed said, ‘The greatest dishonor that could happen to a religious Muslim is to allow harm to come to an invited guest’”
“And he said, ‘Jason, if they had to, they’ll take a bullet for you.’ And what was so interesting about that trip is, we were having lunch in Ramallah with a bunch of actors and artists at a sort of outdoor restaurant”
“And the Israeli army was conducting a raid on a bank that they thought had terrorist ties a couple blocks away. And they must have, to announce themselves, just shot into the air. And I remember 10 of those guys at the table surrounding me. And I went, ‘Oh my God, he wasn’t kidding. They’re not going to let me get hurt’”

As comptroller of Palm Beach County, Florida, Mike Caruso invested $1 billion of the county's money in Israeli bonds. That was 20% of the county's total money and Caruso boasted to reporters that it made Palm Beach County the largest holder of Israeli bonds in the world.

1950s: Automation = 15-hour work weeks (Keynes)
1970s: Computers = 4-day weeks (Nixon)
1990s: Internet = frictionless efficiency
2020s: AI = 3-day weeks
Reality? Hours were reallocated market expansion and intensified labor.
Nixon told a journalist in 1978: "We are going to have a four-day work week and a five-hour workday within 20 years."
Bezos is obviously marketing. But Nixons assumed productivity gains would be distributed as leisure. He was born in in an industrial era
Capital doesn't voluntarily give back time. Each tech revolution creates new extraction layers.
Efficiency usually expands what we consider necessary work.
