If you didn't know, Israel is carrying out Nakba 3.0 in Lebanon. It is *self-admittedly* genocide, permanent land theft and ethnic cleansing to create Greater Israel. The Zionists intend to keep this land forever and massacre or displace everyone on it in the process.

Kyrgyzstan just banned gender transition, hormone therapy, and same-sex families and call being LGBTQ+ a disease. The WHO's ICD-11 says gender dysphoria requires medical care, not a ban. PLS repost & sign the petition if possible. 2 mins of your time could save hundreds of lives!

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel. Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone. No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life. thenation.com/article/politi…

that’s some real iphone 12 shit 🙏

It’s not getting as much publicity as the last one so it’s important we amplify it and keep the world’s eyes on. They are, as always, at risk.

Look how fast Russia got cut off from everything after Ukraine, sports, culture, etc. Meanwhile Israel commit genocide and still show up in Euros qualifiers, Eurovision, probably Copa America next, at this rate they’ll have an Israeli team in the NBA team soon

Each bee has four wings. So this veil took about 5,000 dead bees to make. A single healthy hive holds up to 60,000. Luci Jockel is a jeweler out of Rhode Island School of Design who only uses bees that died of natural causes. She found beekeepers who’d lost their hives and made a deal: she’d put in physical labor helping them rebuild, and they’d give her the wings from the bees that didn’t survive. A Rhode Island beekeeper named Paul Whewell had lost everything to a harsh winter. She worked his hives, learned to keep bees from him, then started her own colonies with her dad. Other wings came from rooftop hives at the RISD Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the MAD Museum in Manhattan. Each wing is about half the width of a dime. She glued them one at a time with archival glue, the kind museums use to preserve artwork, to create a material she calls “bee wing lace.” The pattern comes from Dutch lace collars she studied in 1600s portraits at the RISD Museum. Nine years of work. The finished piece is a mourning veil, made to grieve the bees it came from. Jockel started building this in 2017. Back then, US beekeepers were already losing around 40% of their colonies every year. Last year it hit 55.6%, the worst since tracking began in 2010. Commercial operations lost 62%. In raw numbers: 1.6 million colonies gone in twelve months, with damage above $600 million in replacement costs and lost honey production alone. Bees keep most of your food supply running. About 75% of US crop production depends on them. California’s almond harvest alone needs 1.4 million hives trucked in every spring, roughly 60% of all managed colonies in the country, for a crop worth $6 billion a year. Total annual value to American farming: $34 billion. She needed 5,000 bees and nine years to build one veil. One in every three bites of food you eat depends on the ones still alive.

🦔Google's plan to partly power a Texas data center through a 933-megawatt natural gas plant has been confirmed after Cleanview researchers uncovered the permit application. The plant would emit 4.5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, more than the entire city of San Francisco. Google pledged carbon-free operations by 2030 in 2020, reported a 48% rise in emissions by 2024, and by 2025 had quietly reframed its climate commitments as climate moonshots, a term it uses for speculative projects that may or may not happen. Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft are making the same pivot. My Take The climate commitments these companies made were always going to last exactly as long as they were cheaper than the alternative. Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft all pledged net-zero goals during a period when renewables were becoming cost competitive and climate leadership was good PR. AI changed the economics. The demand is too large, the timelines too short, and gas is available now. So the commitments are being quietly retired or reframed. Google's head of advanced energy was asked directly last week how natural gas fits with the company's clean energy goals. His answer was we don't have anything to say on that. These were always profit-driven businesses. The climate commitments were real when they were also good business. They are becoming inconvenient and so they are going away. Hedgie🤗

black looks tacky icl

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

White phosphorus ignites on contact with oxygen. It sticks to skin and burns down to the bone. It is very hard to extinguish. Israel is bombing Gaza and Lebanon with white phosphorus. Iran's strikes on Israel's white phosphorus factories are a service to humanity.

This is barely making a ripple…unbelievable
