"Those investments began to diverge sharply along red & blue lines, with conservative lawmakers often balking at public #health initiatives they said cost too much or overstepped. Today, people in the #South and #Midwest, regions largely controlled by #Republican state legislators, have increasingly higher chances of dying prematurely compared with those in the more #Democratic#Northeast and #West." #GiftArticle https://wapo.st/3PJpoZI

#Herzog speaking as if #Palestine was already a "nation" when it isn't because of #Israel & the #West. All that follows in his reasoning is pure hare-brained ideas. And they have risen up against the real evil regime oppressing them : the one from himself & his fellow #Netanyahu.

A helicopter carrying President #EbrahimRaisi of #Iran & his foreign minister crashed on Sunday in the country’s mountainous northwest, acc/to state media, deepening the turmoil that has gripped the nation on both the international & domestic fronts in recent months.
#Raisi, 63, was traveling from Iran’s border w/ Azerbaijan to inaugurate a joint dam project.
#Raisi is a hard-line religious cleric who came of age during the #Islamic revolution. Under #Iran’s #theocracy, Raisi, as president, is the 2nd most powerful individual in Iran’s #political structure after… #Khamenei.
After becoming president in 2021, Raisi consolidated power & marginalized reformists who wanted to defuse tensions w/the #West. He repeatedly said he pursued a policy of “strong diplomacy,” forging closer #economic & #security ties w/ #Russia & #China.

If you're going to read on thing about #Israel and #antisemitism, make it this one. A really clear view of how Israel has come to symbolise all that is #evil in the #West - this time it's #colonialism.

"I have a feeling of déjà vu. Just like in February 2022, as columns of troops approached my city of #Kyiv, I have a feeling of impending apocalypse. Back then, my worry was the #Russians. I was thinking of my inevitable death, of soldiers laying their hands on me, torturing me just because I am #Ukrainian.
This time, the sinking feeling comes from the #West. Our allies, who promised to support us as long as it takes, have other problems to deal with."
