The company that’s training IDF dogs to maul, kill and in some cases sexually abuse Palestinians is a Dutch company called Four Winds K9. Electronic Intifada reported on this in 2015. I learned of the dogs through the attack on a man w/ Down syndrome I will never forget.

Give A Shit About Nature
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
In 2020, a small city in Wisconsin told its residents they could stop mowing for a month. 435 households joined in. The bees came back the same spring. Appleton was the first US city to adopt No Mow May. The city council suspended its weed ordinance for the month so residents wouldn't get cited for tall grass. Around 40 acres of lawn across the city went uncut. Researchers from Lawrence University sampled the unmowed lawns and nearby mowed city parks in the same week. The unmowed lawns had 5 times as many bees and 3 times as many bee species as the mowed parks. Wisconsin is home to nearly 500 native bee species. Most people have never seen them because they don't live in honeybee hives. They're solitary bees, ground nesters, small black or metallic green insects that fit on a fingernail. Appleton's unmowed yards gave them food and shelter in the hungry early-spring window when almost nothing else is blooming. The experiment cost the city nothing. It saved residents fuel and labor. It produced measurable ecological results within 30 days. Dozens of US cities have adopted the practice since. Has yours?

The banks literally hired factories in Panama to mass fake paperwork that entitled them to the homes. The Obama justice department began investigating but was told to stop. Read a fucking book

Corey Walker 🇺🇸@CoreyWriting

This talking point is so tired and lame. What specific crimes should anyone have been prosecuted for in 2008? What specific statute of the law would Obama have used to jail them? This is just more populist slop detached from any real analysis.

it’s true the Ellisons are “Trump aligned” in that they produce fawning coverage for him to secure their patently illegal mergers but the funny thing is in the 2024 presidential election they only donated to one candidate and it was Joe Biden (David Ellison Apr 2024; $1 million)

@OGBlackRedGuard The Republicans are Democrats' greatest asset. They derive all of their value from being margnally better. The worse Republicans get, the lower the expectations and the better the fundraising. Democrats simply would not exist without Republicans.

@barbarismcrit @gayest_tone Health Insurance created a network of death for profit so pervasive and ubiquitous, that almost anyone regardless of age or even ideology understood the concept of social murder without reading a word of Engels. Centrists are still panicking about that moment it seems.

Everyone should read what the Israeli military did to journalist Amal Khalil today in this minute-by-minute account as the international community watched in horror. First the text messages threatening her then trapping her and a photographer in a house then bombing them then firing on international rescue crews, all with the world watching in real time. There are no words left for the horrors that U.S. political leaders are enabling.

🚨BREAKING🚨Israeli forces are now issuing direct death threats to Lebanese journalists on WhatsApp as well as besieging them. Al-Akhbar correspondent @AmalKhalil83, who has been documenting the devastation across southern Lebanon, received these messages from an Israeli number (+972 54-869-5113): “We know where you are… we will reach you… leave if you want to keep your head on your shoulders.” First message: “Alright, my lady, you are moving from one village to another, but you still haven’t gone to enough funerals or hospitals. There is a lot of grief & sorrow behind that smile you try to show on Twitter. Let’s see what your answer will be… Is your house still standing, Anisa (Miss)? I hope so?” Second message: “We know where you are & we will reach you when the time comes. Even though you are not important to us, in the end we will take everything into account. I suggest you flee to Qatar or somewhere else if you want to keep your head connected to your shoulders :)” This is not intimidation. This is the IDF issuing an explicit death threat to a journalist for covering their crimes. At the same time, Israeli forces besieged Amal al-Khalil & journalist Zeinab Faraj in al-Tayri, blocking the Red Cross & Lebanese Army from reaching them. They were in a delegate vehicle when a drone strike hit a vehicle behind them, killing two people. Both journalists were trapped at the scene. Amal contacted the Red Cross before her phone died. Her last message confirmed she was still safe. Rescue teams still cannot reach the two besieged journalists, Amal al-Khalil & Zeinab Faraj. They are just 500 meters away, but the road has been cut off by an Israeli strike, according to Red Cross paramedics. This is targeting journalists in real time. This is a crime. Pure state terrorism against the press.

Pro-Palestine rally at UW this morning where the crowd transitions from “Free, free Palestine!” to “Death, death to the IDF!” and I’m like “Can we not do the murder one please” 🙄

One of Obama's first acts as President was suppressing the UNHRC's Goldstone Report that documented Israeli war crimes in 2009. Following Israel's bombardment of Gaza during Operation Cast Lead, the US actively stifled the UN Human Rights Commission's 2009 Goldstone Report that documented the severe crimes against humanity and violations of Geneva Conventions. Officials from his administration actually met with Israelis in secret to find ways to disregard the findings. Ultimately Judge Richard Goldstone, who wrote it, was pressured into retracting it as nothing but 'allegations' that civilians were intentionally targeted by Israel. He not only gave Israel the largest military aid deal in history of $38 billion, he also facilitated Israel's bombardment of Gaza on multiple occasions; legitimizing and justifying the routine massacring of civilians, including children. That pattern of immunity/ lack of accountability from the American presidency laid the groundwork for the Israeli atrocities later committed under Biden and Trump; not only creating a basis for justifying it, but facilitating it full on.
Ali Abunimah@AliAbunimah

I know that @ZohranKMamdani knows that @BarackObama helped “Israel” murder 551 children in Gaza during 51 days in the summer of 2014. We haven’t forgotten that those hands Obama is waving around are soaked in blood. Zohran stop whitewashing war criminals.

This eye-witness testimony, on camera, is more evidence than we have related to 10/7 sexual violence. And there is far more evidence than this: medical reports, testimony from doctors and nurses, forensic evidence, and victim testimony also exists. That is the kind of evidence people have been asking for when it comes to 10/7. Instead, we get empty assertions and accusations of "rape denial" from the same people who will not say one word about the systemic sexual violence doled out to Palestinians in Israeli detention. Including by dogs.
Ounka@OunkaOnX

Krystal Ball just read testimony from an Israeli detention center. 'They stripped him. A captain sprayed something on his backside. They unleashed the dog. The dog raped the young man. It raped him, literally speaking, raped' This is not a conspiracy theory. This is documented along with many other. This is what Israel does And because the victims are Palestinian Muslims. So you don't see any coverage on Western media. This is the reality of Israeli detention and media complicity

Halima, a young woman from Gaza, lost her home and her entire family in the genocide. She herself was left wounded. Her only lifeline is her campaign, but now her Twitter account was suspended, and she can't even ask people for help. Please, support her 🙏 chuffed.org/project/132973…
