I don’t think people talk about this nearly enough. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it destroyed Gaza’s infrastructure including its sewage systems. Do people know how many deadly pathogens can spread through sewage-contaminated water? Hepatitis A, Shigella, Rotavirus, Polio, Cholera, and the list goes on. Israel has designed it so that every time it rains in Gaza, sewage floods the streets, contaminates more people so that they don’t have to bomb Gaza at the same rate anymore. They can solely rely on disease killing Palestinians at the same rate post 10/07. Think about it, israel destroyed the hospitals, clean water, and sanitation systems… they’ve literally eliminated any way Palestinians can seek treatment.
We are watching another phase of the Holocaust in Gaza. Tens of thousands of tents flooded in a matter of hours. Children buried alive when the ground collapsed beneath them. Families who survived the bombs now have nowhere to sleep, surrounded by sewage, exposed to disease and the freezing cold.
Israel has destroyed the infrastructure necessary for human survival and continues to obstruct the materials needed to rebuild it. This is what extermination looks like beyond the bombs. Through displacement, exposure, disease and the systematic destruction of the conditions necessary to sustain life.
I don’t even know what else there is to say anymore. We have watched every conceivable horror unfold before our eyes and still allowed it to continue. We have failed Gaza. We have failed humanity.

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

🇫🇷🚨- CENSURE (encore) : Notre post montrant des policiers déshabiller un lycéen, jeter son pantalon, puis le traîner au sol en caleçon afin de l'humilier a été censuré.
- Nous remettons la vidéo ici. Et nous continuerons de dénoncer la violence de la milice du régime.
🇫🇷🚨- CENSURE : Notre compte a été suspendu pour une durée de douze heures en pleine journée de mobilisation nationale.
- Nous avons notamment dû supprimer une vidéo où l'on voyait des manifestants (que nous avons qualifiés de résistants) se défendre et rendre les coups face à la police (qualifiée de milice).
- De nombreux comptes voient leur visibilité grandement restreinte lorsqu'ils postent des vidéos du mouvement en cours.
- Nous savons que le gouvernement a donné des instructions aux plateformes et a même envisagé d'interdire totalement les réseaux lors des manifestations.
- Nous continuerons de poster ce que bon nous semble et d'utiliser les mots que nous pensons justes.

En 1969, a sus 90 años, Elizabeth Cotten subió al escenario del programa "Guitar Guitar" y ejecutó "Vestapol" sin perder ni un solo compás.
Su historia es la de una autodidacta que, siendo zurda en un mundo diseñado para diestros, tomó la guitarra de su hermano mayor y la volteó.
Sin saberlo, estaba inventando un lenguaje nuevo: al haber empezado con un banjo con las cuerdas invertidas, su estilo de fingerpicking desafió toda la tradición musical, usando el pulgar para las melodías agudas y los dedos para las líneas de bajo.
Así, reescribió las reglas del folk y el blues desde la intimidad de su propia cocina, para ser descubierta por el mundo cuando la mayoría ya se habría retirado.
