It's so easy to blame Biden for the genocide in Gaza.

But:

Palestinians are governed by a brutal, unhinged, Iran-backed terrorist organization. They are intercepting aid and hoarding it or selling it for outrageous prices.

Israel is governed by a power-hungry wannabe dictator backed by a blood-thirsty, trigger-happy IDF.

Biden is trying to broker peace with these two batshit crazy groups IN ORDER TO PROTECT OUR OWN US NATIONAL SECURITY.

Dang. Covid wastewater levels in my county have basically doubled in a week.

We are close to 50% of the omicron high.

I can't even with this headline...

"Supreme Court will consider when doctors can provide emergency abortions in states with bans"

And how does #SCOTUS know jack shit about women's medical issues? They're LAWYERS.

Women are being tortured by the system. Vote for Democrats in 2024 to end this shit and make Roe the law of the land.

See below. It means Mike Johnson is a threat to #America #NationalSecurity

"The document says the outcome of Russia’s war in Ukraine will “to a great degree determine the outlines of the future world order,” a clear indication that Moscow sees the result of its invasion as inextricably bound with its ability — and that of other authoritarian nations — to impose its will globally."

And the next sentence should have been

"Therefore, the US will withhold all aid to Israel until this concrete plan is communicated, created and implemented."

The more I hear about this Israeli attack on World Central Kitchen workers, the more I think it was intentional. I don't care what Israel says.

It was in a deconflicted area. WCK was coordinating with the IDF. They were so clearly marked as food relief. Israel has precision weapons.

No.

This was intentional. Israel does not want Gazans to have food.

It's time for the world to unite and stop Israel.

They are out of control.

CaroltheCrone, to Israel
@CaroltheCrone@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

Well, I'm done .

My red line has been crossed.

Israel killed 5 World Central Kitchen workers today.

Israel needs to be cut off and stopped. Whatever defense support they may have had is gone.
I hated what they were doing before, but now I am actively against Israel.

They are on their own.
Let the world work together to stop Netanyahu.

I stand with World Central Kitchen.

Folks talk about the two earthquake zones: Pacific Northwest and California...

I find the New Madrid quake to be the the one that is going to be "the one"... so many people in what will be the affected zone.

The last big one here was 212 years ago. Reversed the Mississippi.

So much has changed in the surrounding States - and all the houses & buildings not built to earthquake zone standards.

Lots of information - both written and video available. Start here:

For anyone who's had questions about this whole "Threads" and fediverse business, this is a very helpful blog post. (below)

My only question after reading it is this:

If my public posts end up on Threads for whatever reason...hashtags, followers, boosts, etc...can Meta use my words for their own profit, like AI?

I imagine yes if my post is global. But I don't know a thing.

Here's the helpful article:

Chef Andres and WCK have managed to deliver 200 tons of food to Gaza.

On the Open Arms boat from a Spanish charity.

500,000 meals.

It's not enough as there are 2 million people.

But he's figuring it out, while the governments argue and waste time.

Shout out to him. Let's make sure he has the funds to keep going.

He is the hero of our times.

Yesterday the dishwasher flashed "Error 6" and we discovered that part has been discontinued.

Last night the humidifier began to whine.

This morning, the roomba announced (in German, no less) that it, too, was having an Error 6.

I suspect the Internet of Things is staging a revolution.

This might be the beginning of the end.

30 years ago, Ukraine got rid of its nuclear arsenal...a substantial one...in exchange for a guarantee from the US and UK that they would protect Ukraine.

(Russia agreed too, that's how much you can trust Russians)

Ukraine trusted the US for protection.

AFP—US will not send troops to fight in : White House

CaroltheCrone,
@CaroltheCrone@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@GottaLaff @GeorgeCarlinWasRight

Sadly, it's the US. The GOP is in the US and is in our Congress.

Also, just because our troops will not fight in Ukraine does not mean we won't end up in Poland. Or another NATO country.

I'm not really arguing. I'm with you. Just frustrated that more US citizens don't get it. And maybe Biden ought to tell people that we WILL be on the front lines if a NATO country is next.
