Hey Charlotte land use crowd. My neighborhood has changed radically. Density is here to stay. Tree canopy is shrinking. New roads cut us off. We will use placemaking on @cltgov land to help our community reclaim control, create joy, and heal. I hope you’ll follow @derita3rdplace




This is the Israeli government’s best possible spin of what they’re doing to the civilians in Gaza and it still sounds like a war crime under international law to me.
💢 Israel’s Minister for Strategic Affairs explains that the starvation in Gaza is being carefully managed. Ron Dermer—Netanyahu’s lead on ceasefire talks—admitted that Israel is monitoring hunger levels and modulating aid accordingly: “You don’t have famine. You didn’t have…
🇺🇳DEVELOPING STORY: UN staff have decided to stay in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza—despite new Israeli displacement orders and attacks. The spokesman said: “That’s our humanitarian hub. Staff is dispatched from there to different parts of Gaza. That’s where our equipment is.…
Amid the hungry crowds, little Maryam stands clutching an empty bowl in her tiny hands, tears streaming down her face as she begs for just a little soup to take back to her family, worn down by the famine gripping the Strip.
"Sometimes I sleep on an empty stomach, and sometimes I don't sleep at all." Our reporters in Gaza are struggling to find food because of Israel's blockade on vital aid. Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud shows us what life in Gaza is like when he steps away from the camera ⤵️
“Starving people to death is a diabolical way of waging war. It must end.” — Pope Leo to Netanyahu substack.com/home/post/p-16…
“Screams Without Words” gave Western leaders and pundits permission to endorse Israel’s extermination campaign. WSJ’s claim that UNRWA was 10% Hamas helped usher in mass starvation. The people who published, and refused to retract, these pieces MUST be held accountable.
NYT’s “Screams Without Words” and WSJ’s ‘UNRWA-is-Hamas’ are the two most harmful pieces of laundered Hasbara we’ve ever seen. Palestinians died because of them. Will any editor involved in publishing, and refusing to retract, these pieces suffer any professional repercussions?
So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster startribune.com/new-details-fr…
Gaza | “Destroy everything. Destroy There are no houses in Gaza… We only left them a chorus» — Shared by an Israeli bulldozer operator on his account.
Bombshell report: The IDF admitted it destroyed and buried the contents of 1,000(!) aid trucks—because the supplies expired while Israel delayed and mishandled distribution. In case anyone telling you it's the UN's fault.
"‘People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive,’ an UNRWA worker told the head of the agency, Philippe Lazzarini, yesterday, ‘they are walking corpses.’ It should never have come to this. Thousands of trucks carrying food, fuel and medicine are waiting to enter Gaza..."
WHY IS BABY FORMULA NOT ALLOWED INTO GAZA?
NEW: 🇮🇱 Israel confiscates baby formula from foreign doctors at Gaza checkpoints — British surgeon Nick Maynard 'No formula allowed in. Every carton seized'
I asked Jeremy Corbyn if he felt vindicated after being relentlessly smeared for his pro-Palestine advocacy: "I have a house. I live a normal life. Somebody my age in Gaza doesn't even have water. It's about others, and it's our duty to use that privilege to support them."
People in #Gaza, including UNRWA colleagues, are fainting due to severe hunger. They are being starved. Meanwhile, just a few kilometers away from Gaza supermarkets and shops are loaded with food and other goods. Lift the siege. Allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention – named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide – says it plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."
The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU…

At @IRE_NICAR, journalists explained how oligarchs work with cross-border enablers and sophisticated tools to conceal their assets and government ties, and why reporters should take a collaborative approach to expose them & the public harms they generate. gijn.org/stories/tips-f…
For airdrops to work, there needs to be one airdrop every 15 minutes nonstop 24/7 There's a much easier alternative: Israel lifting its murderous draconian siege & allowing food trucks in But the international community would rather perform endless PR stunts than press Israel!
Airdrops of aid into Gaza are currently being discussed with three regional countries, I'm told by a senior Israeli official. One of those countries is actively planning to proceed with airdrops. These discussions started three weeks ago. This answer was in response to a…
"If more people came out 80 years ago for the Jews, fewer people would have been murdered." Jewish Holocaust child survivor, Agnes Kory, told MEE why she keeps coming out to pro-Palestine protests in all weather conditions, despite being in her 80s.
