'Are They Going to Ban the Air Next?'
IDF Reiterates Ban on #Gazans Entering the Sea, Last Remaining Source of Relief for Many Palestinians

The #IDF reiterated its wartime ban on entering the Mediterranean Sea yesterday, warning that swimming could 'endanger' lives. #Palestinians in #Gaza say the sea was their last reprieve from #Israel destructive military campaign, as well as one of the few places to bathe or escape heat

[unbelievable cruelty and cynicism]

Los Angeles: Thousands Denounce ICE Raids in July 4 Protest

from #WorldOutlook
July 5, 2025

"The article below first appeared in the #LosAngeles Times on July 5, 2025. The protest the article describes was a fitting way to mark #US Independence Day, given the #Trump administration’s intensified workplace raids and #deportations of undocumented #immigrants. L.A. has been the epicenter of many such protests over the last month since the White House picked the city to launch its aggressive dragnet, carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement #(ICE) agents, targeting millions of workers across the country.

As a recent article published by the #WashingtonPost revealed, ICE arrests have more than doubled since Trump took office in January, compared to the same period last year."

From Mark Friedman in Los Angeles writing about a Cuban solidarity event in LA ------

Dayren Santamaria is a Cuban grammy award-winning concert violinist played for us May 30 at the Machinists Union hall, where the LA Hands-Off Cuba committee hosted two diplomats from the Cuban embassy.

A successful meeting of 60+ marked new advances in Cuba solidarity work, including the medical aid campaigns.

A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.

For 20 years, Carol Hui has served waffles, raised her children and embraced the small town of Kennett, Mo. Her detention and pending deportation to Hong Kong has hit the community hard.

No, I'm not against Jews, but against Zionism, and I believe Hitchens thinks the same way.

And the allusion to "bitch-slap" isn't so good either. 🀨

@Peter_Link@expressional.social You are right about the jew/zionist thing, badly formulated on my part, but I still think the ZIONISTS need a god Hitch-slap, which in my mind is an education in human rights and the freedom of religion including the option of ateism or anti-theism!
I'm very much anti war, and think the Israeli fascists should be forced to stop their genocide in Gaza by diplomatic and economic means, but as that seems very unlikely with the western democracies moral abdication, intervention could be necessary to stop the Israeli onslaught and killing of the innocent.
But what countries should intervene? Most countries are so morally corrupt and greedy that they'll rather keep on selling armaments to fascist Israel. And with Israels many fascists friends in high places, like tRUMP, which countries would risk intervening?
I hope some countries will put their actions where their moral ought to be
AND STOP THE ISRAELI FASCISTS AND THE GENOCIDE!
