World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza.
…
Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit
…
This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable
…
The seven killed are from Australia, Poland, UK, US, Canada, and Palestine.

Loved watching Christiane Amanpour growing up. But she got this all wrong. Brutal erasure to say that there are no independent journos in Gaza (because 🇵🇸 journalists apparently can't be independent).

The Middle East Eye (this clip is their's btw) & Al Jazeera have award winning teams in Gaza composed of locals closer to the story than any westerner could be. But go ahead & waltz into Gaza, claim to be the eyes/ears of the world while totally lost without the Palestinian fixers flanking you.

My #Dad, aged 27, at #RefugeeCamp in #Indonesia - 1979. Photo was taken by humanitarian aid workers to help #VietnamWar #refugees get sponsored to go to Europe, Canada, USA & Australia, under asylum.

My Dad passed away June 9, 2023.
He went through hell & back, several times. He beat almost all odds. Until #covid infection in hospital in 2022. #LongCovid killed him last year.

I miss him very much😪❤️‍🩹💗❤

"Gaza Is Starving - The chief economist of the World Food Program explains how the scarcity of food may tip the territory into famine."

> "Gaza needs more food coming in. On a good day, aid groups are bringing in maybe twenty-five to thirty per cent of what they need. [..]"

Christopher Lockyear, Secretary General of Doctors without Borders addressed the UN Security Council yesterday. Among his points:

"Children who survive this war will not only bear the visible wounds of traumatic injuries but the invisible ones too—those of repeated displacement, constant fear, and witnessing family members literally dismembered before their eyes. These psychological injuries have led children as young as five to tell us they would prefer to die."

Whether I see auras, you ask?

Yes, I love seeing auras!

Truly one of 3M's best products.

Looking for a DNS provider that supports .de, .eu, .info TLDs, Dynamic DNS (incl TXT records for Let's Encrypt).

Preferably .de / .eu based.

Looks like hosting.de could do it (they've got a fairly extensive REST API), if their DynDNS supports wildcards.

Anyone else ...?

How many more blatant atrocities will the US shrug off, while we continue to ship weapons to the perpetrators?

(And yes, I know the atrocities being committed against the Palestinian people are orders of magnitude greater than one strike against a humanitarian aid convoy, but it’s blindingly obvious the US gov’t doesn’t give half a shit about Palestinian lives.) https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/112200175765614232

Apparently the humanitarian workers of World Central Kitchen who were killed in Gaza this past night were not hit by just one strike, but rather a series of three drone strikes over the course of multiple minutes.

Videos of militarized police at student protests. This never stops being a bad look. And ominous.

"The Kent State shootings were the killing of four and wounding of nine unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State University campus. The shootings took place on May 4, 1970, during a rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into Cambodia by United States military forces as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus and the draft."

I'm creatively cussingly illustrative in my rage full passion for my lifelong fights for global human rights.

You all should be much more offended by atrocious violent massacres on innocent peoples - in several areas of the world - than be offended by the fact I use a lot of cuss words to describe ongoing inhumanities.

Seriously, fuck the hell off if you think policing my cussing is more important than you ignoring & not helping ppl suffering from famine & genocide.

Seriously, fuck right off.

Aaaah yes. That annoying, yet predictable time of year where hegemonics who probably voted for Trump and hated everything MLK jr was about… start posting up vanilla quotes from him in order to deflect and deny their inherent, intense anti-Black hatred.

Please send help in advance. Thank you.
