Report: A British drone flew over Lebanon hours before & after the Israeli massacre that killed more than 300 people.

"The MQ-9B Protector circled near Baalbek before Israeli bombing killed at least 18 in the Bekaa Valley city".

The UK is the "number one gatherer of intelligence" in the Middle East. "Britain knows exactly what is happening because of those flights."

Middle East Eye
PSA: *reporting* Israel is bombing “Hezbollah” in Lebanon is like saying Israel is only bombing “Hamas” in Gaza — when we can all see them hitting civilians, apartment buildings, ambulances etc… all you do when you use their preferred words is sacrifice your own credibility.

Exonerated man fights to hold his newly elected post despite GOP challenge

A New Orleans man exonerated after serving nearly 30 years in prison has a new fight on his hands. Calvin Duncan has been elected as the city's new clerk of criminal court, but now Republican lawmakers are racing to eliminate the position. Duncan won the clerk's office by promising to fix a system that failed him when he was trying to prove his innocence. Now, Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are seeking to shutter the office Duncan won. Senate Republicans passed a bill Wednesday to eliminate the Orleans Parish clerk of criminal court, saying it's part of a broader judicial overhaul. New Orleans is a predominantly Black and Democratic city, while the state Legislature is mostly white.

Survivors have done their part. Now it's time for those in power to do theirs.”
