Doctors and aid workers say Gaza is a 'catastrophe' after 2 months with no aid. Children malnourished, diseases are spreading and those who are injured cannot be treated properly, the workers said. "We're being forced to make impossible decisions," one doctor said.

The UN warns of a "slaughter of the innocents." Israel boasts that "Gaza will be completely destroyed." Here are notes from doctors in Gaza. They document the crimes against humanity being perpetrated against the sick, wounded and children. Please share. charlieangus.substack.com/p/gaza-eyewi...

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, says EU’s former top diplomat

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

With rising temperatures, the atmosphere can hold more moisture, meaning precipitation has a tendency to fall at more extreme levels.

Donald Trump’s hefty new tariffs represent an unprecedented shock to the economy, and they are being accompanied by policies that run directly counter to the goal of promoting American economic dominance.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters flooded the streets in all 50 American states over the weekend to oppose President Trump and Elon Musk, calling for an end to a “billionaire takeover”

Eviscerated retirement savings. Blown-up supply chains. Pissed-off allies. sbg1.bsky.social writes about the aftermath of Donald Trump’s tariff announcements.

Almost amusing to see her huffing and puffing about the rule of law. It's never been her cup of tea anyways.
