DO NOT TURN A BLIND EYE TO THIS. HOLY SHIT.
BREAKING: Israel is dropping white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in the village of Arnoun, Nabatieh, South Lebanon. These are internationally banned munitions — and Israel is unleashing them against civilians.

Gobsmacking statistic in this story: “While city pools and splash pads consume almost 2 million gallons of water over the course of a summer, a single Exxon plastics plant consumes 13 million gallons per day.”
NEW: Absent a biblical rainfall event this summer, Corpus Christi will be the first American city in modern history to run out of water. 💦 Schools & hospitals hope to drill wells. Lawns are dry. How will petrochemical plants handle it? We don’t know. kut.org/energy-environment/2…

washingtonians pushing back against the normalization of a military occupation of their city is not “the worst in people and society” — it’s a reasonable and justifiable position we should all be mad that the national guard is being used as political props by the president!
Twitter sadly can bring out the worst in people & society. I have deep respect for those that wear a uniform to serve our community & country; be it Metro staff or Nat’l Guard. Opine on politics or hate on me 🤷 but pls be nice to public servants who are just doing their jobs

Because they already saw the destruction of Gaza and the most powerful nations did nothing or aided in its destruction.
I don’t understand how the world is watching the destruction of Lebanon so comfortably.

Please name a non capitalist country that the capitalist countries left alone to develop naturally without attempting to sabotage or destroy them?

How lucky we are to experience boring, ordinary, uneventful days. Somewhere in the world, that kind of safety is unimaginable.

Festus, Missouri voted out every single council member who approved a data center against the community's wishes. Every. Single. One. That's the blueprint. From micro to macro.

Tbh I think it’s perfectly fine to diminish someone’s accomplishments if they committed sexual violence against children
The Afrika Bambaata talk can be really simple. We can acknowledge how important his artistry was to hip hop AND call out how horrible of a person he was. It can be both.

colleges had IDF members straight up on campus assaulting and using chemical weapons on 18 year olds and the democrats were like "it's possible that 18 year old girl was funded by iran" and I am not exaggerating in the slightest. IU had snipers on the rooftops around the quad

A lot of the things being discovered rn are things that were discovered long ago, but colonialism happened and we became convinced that our intelligence was primitive. It makes me angry all the time.

Y’all let these folks convince y’all burning down businesses is violence, but those same businesses and corporations that literally poison the air you breathe and the water you drink, is just the cost of business. Y’all have been convinced your lives are worth less than buildings

They’re not “performing tricks for her,” they’re playing together. Western/colonized versus indigenous mindset

The Black Panther chapter in Seattle started a hospital that’s still operating til this day. It’s a top tier facility. The free lunch program is in alot of cities nationwide. They didn’t live up to their potential because they were sabotaged but they didn’t fail
I hate y'all with that "the panthers failed cuz...." And y'all ain't read shit yet. Lol The panthers failed because they were targeted by the most powerful military force on the planet...and everyone of its intelligence agencies from the CIA, to the mutha fuck ATF.

We definitely need to reframe how we view violence. You telling your city council you don’t want a data center in your community and they vote for it in anyway, is violence. So beat the asses for it. They want to shave years off your life, return the favor
