This is the horror that the US is funding

We HAVE to build a mvmnt that has the power to shut industries down thru strikes & work stoppages to stop things like this in the future

As of now- the most we can do is scream about it. Even then, many fear their livelihoods if they do

Jesus Christ. These are fascist death squads, just pure evil—the worst of humanity. This can’t go unpunished, and I’m sure it won’t. But I think we’ll all be judged together for these crimes by history. God help us.

During the massacre at al-Shifa Hospital, the Israeli army shot patients in their beds and doctors who refused to abandon the sick, separated people into groups with differently-colored bracelets, and executed hundreds of civil government employees.

Israel’s argument that they kill so many civilians b/c Hamas uses “human shields” is torn apart by the revelation that the IDF prefers to attack its “targets” when they are at home with their families. It is not Hamas using human shields, it is Israel deliberately hunting…

Sports media needs to cover this more: Oakland A's Esteury Ruiz was sent to the minors with a.429 batting average. Brent Rooker the A’s sole all-star, was benched. What they have in common is wearing wristbands in solidarity w/those protesting the move out of Oakland. Owners suck

The Israeli military used an artificial intelligence program known as 'Lavender' to develop a 'kill list' in Gaza with little human oversight. A second AI called 'Where's Daddy?' was designed to target Palestinian men on the list at home at night with their families.
