As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

Personally? I’d like it if AOC didn’t take a position that is the opposite of what all Palestine advocates demand and subsequently whine that she’s being misunderstood, that it’s unfair, that her critics are liars, etc. We can all read what she said!
AOC says that she supports, as a matter of principle, the US supplying Israeli air defenses. Her primary rationale for opposing the amendment is that it cuts off the flow of these arms. She also admits this is a “simple and clear difference of opinion” with her critics
MSM is insanely framing Columbia’s capitulation and Gaza mass starvation as separate stories. Defenders of Israel smeared student movement protesting Israel’s extermination of Palestinians as antisemitic precisely to protect bipartisan US support for what you’re seeing right now.
"I witnessed the IDF firing a main gun tank round into a crowd of people, destroying a car of civilians...I witnessed mortar rounds being fired at crowds of people...They are criminal. And I have fought ISIS...In my entire career I have never witnessed [this] level of brutality."
This is extraordinary. A GHF ex contractor, former US special forces lieutenant-colonel, tells @BowenBBC he never saw brutality against civilians like he did at the hands of the IDF and US contractors in Gaza - and he fought ISIS and the Taliban bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…
BREAKING: Axios’ Barak Ravid reports that the Israeli military will implement “humanitarian pauses” in certain areas of its attacks on Gaza’s population Sunday to allow UN aid trucks in—a clear admission that Israel had been blocking their movement for 21 weeks.
🚨🚨🚨The IDF is going to implement humanitarian pauses in the fighting in several population centers in Gaza starting Sunday morning and until Sunday evening to allow the UN and other aid organizations safe access for the delivery of aid, Israeli official tells me

This puts the July 20 massacre of aid seekers near the WFP convoy in a very sinister new light. It now appears to have been calculated to shut down WFP deliveries to subsequently blame the UN for the famine. Any reporter participating in this should examine these claims extremely…
Oh I see—it's a coordinated rollout: the IDF, GHF, and complicit outlets like @Jerusalem_Post are all pushing the new line: yes, there's starvation, but it’s the UN’s fault for refusing to play nice with the GHF. Expect this talking point to be everywhere soon.

🛠️ Expanding paid political leadership in DSA will pay dividends for our capacity to build the organization and the socialist movement. Convention delegates should support Resolution 35: For Working Class Member Leadership. socialistcall.com/2025/07/24/lea…
because marxism is an objective description of the capitalist mode of production & how society is designed around it. fascism is a suicidal ideological movement that promotes a mythical supremacist ethnic/religious/national ingroup dominating & murdering "inferior" outgroups
If you call yourself a fascist, you lose your job. If you call yourself a Marxist, you get elected.
before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. that way, you can take revenge on two different guys, twice as much revenge. which is great.

Officers are deployed at key points along the route as well as the form up point. There are additional officers in the vicinity of the counter protest. This week we have also distributed leaflets and deployed signage as a clear reminder about relevant offences.

The thing that’s incredibly annoying about this is that she made it clear she WOULD vote for military funding for Israel as long as it was “defensive” instead of “offensive”. She can’t have it both ways. Either she supports funding the iron dome or her detractors are liars.
Google is free. If you’re saying I voted for military funding, you are lying. Receipts attached. Drag me for my positions all you want, but lying about them doesn’t make you part of the “left.” If you believe neo-nazis are welcome and operating in good faith, you can have them!
