Yup. That’s the one.

With full support from the US government, 2 million people are being threatened with starvation, as the state of Israel continues to carry out the ongoing ethnic-cleansing of #Palestine.

We've created a list of on-the-ground mutual aid groups that are doing direct support and distribution of supplies, with easy links so you can boost, support, and amplify.

All of us can organize benefit events and show material solidarity with people in Gaza organizing to provide mutual aid.

Very Serious

About 9 million years ago, a natural inbreeding in the wild between tomato plants and a potato-like plant species in present-day South America gave way to what we know as the potato.

The findings are detailed in a study published July 31 in the journal Cell.
