I am not sure if I should directly link, but there is a Palestinian mother on here whose young son was a victim of one of these drones. These victims are real people who you can actually talk with on here (despite the best efforts of bluesky moderation).

They deserve a real, safe childhood.
All this in defense of an Israeli arms company that makes the drones Israel has used to hunt, injure, and kill children. To play the sounds of women and children calling for help to lure people and shoot them.

This is what Starmer and Lammy want to defend.
Israeli drones lure Palestinians with crying children recordings then shoot them
Locals report Israeli quadcopters drawing people out of their houses by playing sounds of women and children in distress

Ever notice that when you tell a lot of older folks that people shouldn't have to work to survive, they can't even understand what you're saying to them? It's like capitalist propaganda and decades of wage slavery have destroyed their ability to envision a better world.

For the Olds, I think it's directly tied to all of the cold war propaganda. The USA went so hard on demonizing socialism and communism and propping up capitalism as the best thing ever. They made people's entire existence revolve around their job. Its why so many boomers won't retire.

London is planning to leave Homeless People out in -9C weather because they claim at one point during the day it will be 0C.

I think the word for this is Social Murder.

But the Social bit is probably a bit unnecessary.

This is an incredibly important graph and post which a large part of the climate science community is intentionally ignoring and trying to hide.

Our climate is in a much more dangerous state than main stream climate scientists are willing to acknowledge.

Many climate scientists know that our planet’s climate is in an incredibly bad place but are too afraid to say so because they think most of us will just give up instead of trying to survive.

Watching this makes a bigger case for how the USA is all about the individual, and not about the whole.

The safety tests, regulations, it's about keeping the person inside the vehicle safe, not the ones outside.

So built it like a tank, don't care if it destroys the car you're going to hit.

Imagine losing everything to war and still having to pay rent. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a.

Tinyurl.com/samaasfamily
My home was destroyed by the occupation, and now I am living in a rented place.

I need to secure $500 to pay the landlord — if I can’t, we will be evicted.

This amount means a safe roof and security for my children. If you can help… your support is life to us.

10 - 15 years ago, California Governor Jerry Brown was interviewed at the AGU meeting. He was asked what natural disaster kept him up at night with fear. Earthquake? Volcano erupting? No, he said, he lost sleep worrying about catastrophic levee failures

West Coast levee failures show growing risks from America’s aging flood defenses
Levees protect more than 7 million buildings in the US today, yet they got a D-plus grade in 2025. A new study found 487 cases where rising water overtopped levees in the past 15 years.
