Madleen proves that Gaza is closer to us than Israel wants it to be. Israel seeks to keep Gaza distant, isolated, and inaccessible. Yet Madleen shows that you don't have to be a superpower to reach Gaza. All it takes is the will and courage to stand against tyranny and injustice

On the 610th day of the Gaza genocide, the whole world is waiting to see if the IDF will open fire on a lone aid boat crewed by peace activists and filled with food and medicine for intentionally starved and maimed children. This is the world we’ve allowed Israel to create.

If the "left" can't break away from the democratic party when it's literally committing a genocide is it really a left, or is it an appendage of the democrat party

Kamala hasn’t given you fools one inch. Not one concession on Gaza. Nothing. Just doubling down on the Biden/Harris policy of blank checks and endless shipments of 2,000 pound bombs while repeating the same empty commitment to a ceasefire. You’ll voting for her anyways. Pathetic.

A Kamala win would signal to the oligarchy that as long as there's a Trump or worse, they can use fear to shift as far right in the Dem party as they want. It moves us deeper into fascism. If mass atrocities and genocide aren't a redline, that's a horrific reality. What's next?

No other country crafts such a delusional mythology about itself, wrapped in saccharine sentimentality, or extends this myth-making to politicians who serve corporate, lobby & military-industrial interests. A bipartisan delusion, but Democrats exemplify it in their performed earnestness.

The Democratic Party, has shifted so far to the right this seemed like more of a Republican Convention. Having Republicans speak on stage, ignoring protestors, bragging about policing and military interventions. Zero policy about living wages, health care, or student debt relief.

Kamala is to the right of George Bush.

This is what her speech means to many people around the world.

Breaking news: France became the first country in the world to explicitly enshrine abortion rights in its constitution — an effort galvanized by the rollback of protections in the United States. wapo.st/43j4OGd

@amanda_rossi Acontece sempre que vou, e eu vou várias vezes no mês, há anos, comprar medicamentos de uso contínuo. O desconto que só consigo dando (vendendo) o CPF é tão grande que seria um absurdo cogitar pagar o valor cheio. Esse desconto é totalmente atrelado ao CPF.

Me ajuda a espalhar? A RaiaDrogasil enviou documento para a Secretaria Nacional do Consumidor, do Ministério da Justiça, dizendo que não exige CPF para dar desconto em remédio. Não foi o que aconteceu quando você foi comprar seu remédio? Pode compartilhar seu relato?

The Israeli military’s repeated, apparently unlawful attacks on medical facilities, personnel, and transport are further destroying the Gaza Strip’s healthcare system and should be investigated as war crimes. trib.al/J6JWV7F

According to the latest figures from the @UN, more than 74% of the 11,078 Palestinians killed in Gaza are children, women, and the elderly: ochaopt.org/content/hostil…

More than 750 journalists from dozens of news organizations have signed an open letter published Thursday condemning Israel’s killing of reporters in Gaza and criticizing western media’s coverage of the war. wapo.st/478Qota

The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour the UN had stockpiled in the region, a Gaza-based U.N. official said. But the main refrain now being heard in the streets is: "Water, water." apnews.com/article/gaza-h…

We have to admire Jewish people of conscience everywhere who are refusing oppression & violence undertaken in their name. It is a tremendous act of courage to stand up to power in one's own community, particularly when that community has a very real history of shared suffering.

Independent human rights experts: “We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide. The time for action is now. Israel’s allies also bear responsibility and must act now to prevent its disastrous course of action.” ohchr.org/en/latest

#Gaza – Given the high number of civilian casualties & the scale of destruction following Israeli airstrikes on Jabalia refugee camp, we have serious concerns that these are disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes.

If ceasing to kill 10 children every hour would “amount to a surrender,” it might be worth asking what exactly you are fighting for.
