It’s kind of hard to pinpoint which marker will be the precursor to the nuke, famine, pestilence, or “natural” disaster that ultimately extinguishes us, but this one is now in the running… 🫠

This is rich, coming from a country that has done so much environmental damage over the past two years, it will take decades to remediate and restore.

Given that we fund the largest extermination of journalists in any military action ever (in Gaza), it should come as no surprise when the empire turns that on its own.

Massive destruction can be seen following the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.

A wide view of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City shows massive destruction after Israeli forces’ withdrawal. The scene is filled with piles of rubble, collapsed concrete, twisted metal rods, and destroyed buildings on both sides of a dusty road. Most structures are heavily damaged or reduced to fragments, with only skeletal remains of walls and pillars standing under a clear blue sky.

Another angle of the same devastated area shows vast stretches of rubble and debris covering the ground. The remnants of buildings are scattered with broken concrete, tangled rebar, and fragments of walls, leaving almost nothing intact. The sky is bright and clear, highlighting the scale of destruction and emptiness left behind.

Even with the ceasefire, the #food system for people in #Gaza is significantly, and permanently disrupted in multiple ways.

May the aid flow in, and may they regain the ability to produce their own foods again, now that so much of their agricultural resources have been destroyed by #Israel #usa

Only socialism can defeat fascism. If you force people to choose between neoliberalism and fascism, the latter will win every time. The problem with having neoliberals in power is that they'd rather let the fascists win than ever cede power to socialists.
