US sends troops & weapons to Taiwan. Is it preparing war on China?

Israel has ended its assault on the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, because there is nothing left to assault. The facility - the largest medical complex in Gaza where hundreds of civilians had been sheltering - is now an empty, unusable, burnt-out husk. Witnesses report hundreds of corpses in and around the complex, with video footage showing human body parts protruding from the earth and bodies with zip ties on their wrists.

Israel's Savage Destruction Of Gaza's Healthcare System Is Exactly What It Looks Like

Six months of this now. Half a year.
Half a year of genocide apologia.
Half a year of the most outrageous lies you can possibly imagine.
Half a year of seeing children's bodies ripped to pieces and starved to skeletons on our social media feeds.

Six Months Of Hell On Earth

Stop telling us about the president’s feelings. Stop telling us he’s “angry” and “frustrated” with Israel. No one cares. Nobody gives a shit how Biden’s feelings feel about the government he’s helping carry out a genocide. All that matters is that he’s helping them commit genocide.

How the US is waging economic war on China

The main reason I've focused so hard on Gaza these last six months isn't so much because of how evil and horrific Israel's mass atrocity is in and of itself, but because it's so intimately intertwined with all our world's other problems, and with the future of the human species.
