BREAKING| Israel kills journalist Hiba Abadleh and her daughter in an airstrike that targeted their house in Gaza.
Calista McRae retweeted
12-year-old Dunia lost her leg in an Israeli airstrike that killed her whole family.
We filmed this video with Dunia during the seven-day truce, and yesterday an Israeli tank-fired shell killed her while she was recovering in Naser Hospital in Khan Younis.

As Abu Ahmad, waving a white flag, follows Israeli instructions and flees their house, his son is shot in the head.
"I told you, let’s stay at home, my son! Let’s stay at home!"
His son didn't make it.
A neighbor's son, no more than 4 years old, watches the whole scene. Damaged for life.

Shameful, devastating, racist. @DoselineKiguru is a brilliant and much-valued colleague - what she and her daughter have been put through is evil theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

🚨🚨🚨This is the most regressive piece of legislation in recent #bikenyc history and an alarming number of council members are signing on….and there are some surprising names.
This would be a disaster for people on bikes. A disaster.

The three populations most frequently invoked to justify automobile hegemony are the children, the disabled and the poor. These are the very groups most harmed by it. These are the exact populations most limited, trapped, immiserated, hit, hurt and killed by car dependency.

People who drive cars in this pedestrian-dense, transit-rich city are running a successful campaign of grievance politics to roll back every improvement we have made to New York City’s streets in the past decade.

5 Americans die an hour from cars
America has the world's safest air travel, but the safety record of our car-dependent ground transportation system is among the worst among wealthy nations.
ALT A chart shows the annual deaths from car crashes per 100,000 population as of 2021 in the following countries: Norway, Denmark, United Kingdom, Japan, Ireland, Germany, The Netherlands, Israel, Austria, Finland, Australia, France, Canada, Italy, Czech Republic, South Korea, New Zealand, Turkey, Chile, and the United States.

Here’s this poor warbler right after the collision — a good reminder that a bird sitting stunned on the sidewalk, no matter how bad it looks, can be helped. A paper bag makes a perfect ambulance to a wildlife rehabber, but use whatever you have handy.

Tragic Update : the 98-year-old newspaper co-owner, Joan Meyer, died today following the police raid of her home yesterday where police seized an Alexa speaker which served as an emergency contact device.
This story is wild & highlights several dangers of unchecked police authority.
- Small town corruption
- A police raid to shutdown the local newspaper
- Police endangering senior citizens in their 80s & 90s by seizing their emergency contact devices in the raid

Incredibly bleak stuff from the Marion County Record's report. The officers were literally just trying to shut down the paper and intimidate the staff.

Cats belong indoors, in secured enclosures, or on a leash & harness when outside - not freely roaming to harm & kill wildlife, or putting themselves in danger. They (and our wildlife) deserve better.

Just thought we'd remind everyone of some of the reasons New Yorkers might be out at 5AM.
For the overnight shift. For all New Yorkers.
In 11 days, on 8/1, speed cameras will begin issuing violations 24/7/365. #Drive25 and always yield to pedestrians and cyclists.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to right the wrongs of Robert Moses and heal our communities devastated by the BQE. New York cannot and should not let this opportunity go by.
Good morning. Let's bury the BQE. @CarloScissura @bdgcongress @BKBPReynoso @NYCCouncil38

Cant believe I’ve never heard about how the US government plants cyanide bombs all around the west in order to kill wildlife. The ranching industry is so, so evil.
“He killed my dog and he had nearly killed my child,” Mark Mansfield said about the Wildlife Services supervisor who planted an M-44 chemical weapon near his home. interc.pt/458zZmX

“parents’ rights” unless you are the wrong kind of parent or have the wrong kind of child

Moses was wrong when he built the BQE.
The question now is, will the state step up to right that wrong, or condemn our communities to another 80 years of toxic infrastructure?
