Don’t become numb to these atrocities - there are not separate kinds of human beings - what is done to one is done to all .
Israel has claimed responsibility for bombing a wedding celebration in Gaza City yesterday that killed 7 people from two families, including a 4-month-old baby. Israel offered no explanation for violating the ceasefire, but acknowledged that “uninvolved civilians” were killed.

Now that Trump’s ban on @CNN, @MSNow, and @Politico has backfired, his DOJ is trying to weaponize antitrust law to pressure major networks to cover his every move. This is yet another way the administration is trying to chill speech. Watch @trevortimm explain:

I am in the accountability wing of the Democratic party. For the Epstein class. For rogue ICE agents. For pay to play corporations. For those who DOGEd our nation. For public officials & family members who enriched themselves. For DOD leaders ordering strikes on fishermen in Caribbean & a school in Iran. I am done with elite impunity. We need investigations & prosecutions. That is why I am introducing the first ever Truth and Accountability Commission. thehill.com/homenews/house/6…

This isn't over. One day, there will be an inquiry into Britain's complicity in genocide - and we will remember those who tried to get in the way of the truth. newarab.com/news/exclusive-c…

🚨🚨BREAKING: Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella Parton, says a Tennessee voting machine repeatedly switched her selection to Republican Marsha Blackburn, forcing her to correct her ballot THREE TIMES before voting. She’s not alone. Other Tennessee voters have reported similar problems while attempting to vote for Democrats.

La guerra contro l’Iran è sul punto di riesplodere… si profila una nuova escalation militare, con conseguenze pesanti anche per l’Italia. Secondo senatori informati sui fatti - Netanyahu avrebbe pianificato già all’inizio di questo mese una ripresa degli attacchi. L’IDF si sarebbe preparato una campagna di bombardamenti di diversi giorni, da condurre nelle prossime 2 settimane. Nel mirino NON ci sarebbero soltanto impianti nucleari e obiettivi militari, ma anche infrastrutture civili, comprese le centrali elettriche. A rendere il quadro ancora più allarmante: l’amministrazione Trump ha ordinato a tutto il personale delle proprie sedi diplomatiche in Arabia Saudita di lasciare il Paese. L’ordine di evacuazione immediata riguarderebbe inoltre i familiari del personale diplomatico statunitense negli Emirati Arabi Uniti, in Giordania, in Qatar e in Bahrein. Paesi dove ci sono basi militari usa. Gli 🇺🇸 non ordinerebbero ai propri diplomatici di lasciare i Paesi confinanti con l’Iran se la ripresa delle operazioni militari non fosse già nei loro piani. Questo e’ un segnale concreto che Trump considera il rischio di un’escalation non soltanto reale, ma imminente. Non più una possibilità astratta, dunque, ma uno scenario al quale gli USA 🇺🇸 si starebbero preparando.
The US State Department is preparing to order the departure of embassy staff and their families from across the Gulf amid fears of renewed regional hostilities, Reuters reports, citing unnamed US officials. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/r3rtel

Love moral Jewish-Americans trying to make a difference to help the Palestinians, like @bradlander. Honestly, since national media doesn’t care about Muslims and would never feature us, it’s critical to have Jewish voices on our side that the bigots in media value so much more.
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

WOW. New SEC filing: Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax, AND has signed an agreement to stay in the state for 8 years. Two myths down: no, billionaires won’t all flee, and yes, they can pay their fair share without losing their companies. Just 12 days left to win this! Holy shit this could be historic.
This is huge. A just-released SEC filing makes an extraordinary revelation: Mark Zuckerberg is getting ready to pay California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax and has signed an agreement to remain in California for 8 years. We are witnessing a global turning point unfold before our eyes. 🧵

Words have lost all meaning is you can’t call that evil
The world hasn’t seen anything like the destruction in Gaza since Second World War. Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives, equivalent of ~15 "Little Boy" ATOMIC BOMBS, on Gaza. Gaza is nearly the same size as Nagasaki, and Israel dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives, equivalent of ~12 "Fat Man" ATOMIC BOMBS, on Gaza. Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Berlin, and Israel dropped over 3 times more explosives than dropped on Berlin, over 25 times than what dropped on Hamburg, and almost 57 times what dropped on Dresden. Gaza is nearly 5 times smaller than London, and Israel dropped over 12 times more explosives than dropped on London, almost 20 times than what dropped on Paris, and nearly 45 times than what dropped on Warsaw. The destructions of Gaza cities is more severe than the destructions of European Cities in WWII. According to Article II of the UN Genocide Convention, genocide involves specific acts committed with the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." Wanton devastation not justified by military necessity; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction is also an act of genocide according to Article Il of the UN Genocide Convention.

The current situation reminds me immensely of the days before February 28. Intense talks were underway, mediated by Oman. Today, Qatar is playing that role. But just like in February, it seems to me that Trump has already made up his mind and that the ongoing diplomacy is just for show. Trump has, together with Netanyahu, already decided to restart the war. In February, Tehran agreed to major concessions, but it was all for naught because Trump thought he could get a better deal by simply removing the regime through war. Today, due to the misinformation space Trump lives in, he once again appears to have already opted for war because he believes it will give him better results than a diplomatic deal. Just like in February, it is a devastating miscalculation.

Of course it’s bullshit
Alex Gibney on Elon Musk: “I do think the space thing was the little kid looking up at the stars, but ultimately it becomes another con. Next year we’re not gonna be on Mars and we’re not gonna be on Mars in 10 years, we’re not gonna be on Mars in 50 years. It’s just bullshit”
