I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth. Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks

My feed is full of near-identical posts by people shilling for Samsung, which apparently launched a new phone. Does Samsung know that these posts make me less interested than ever in their products? Do the people posting this drek feel good about being reduced to a human 'bot'?

I don't think you can understate just how impressive this heat dome is. It covers 2/3 of the nation in which 80% of the country's population over the 7 day heatwave period will hit 90+ for a high temperature (~260 million people) The peak intensity of the heat dome was record

My last tweet said this report is unserious. In fact, this report is a clear example of scientific fraud. Absolutely every single section is aimed at selling a narrative, and will find some angle to build up that narrative. It ignores well known objections to almost all of their

"With roughly 60 percent of the world’s mining companies headquartered in Canada, the federal government has long operated as an enabler of corporate power abroad, often at the expense of environmental stewardship and democratic decision-making in the Global South."

Another humanitarian group – this time, Doctors without Borders – concludes Israel is deliberately killing the very people it has been starving by shooting them as they queue for aid. Its report is titled: "This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing." msf.org/not-aid-orches…

To avert further deaths and inhuman suffering by starvation, Israel must immediately restore unimpeded access to Gaza by impartial humanitarian organizations, including UNRWA and UN OCHA, UN experts said. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
