Analysis: "Israel's biggest con trick: Hiding the true numbers it has killed in Gaza"

In addition to direct deaths from Israeli bombs, vast numbers of Gazans have been "indirectly" killed through starvation, disease, & destroyed homes, water, electricity, sanitation & hospitals.

The indirect toll is likely four times greater than the direct toll, ie, at least "350,000 killed in Gaza through Israel’s actions."

I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).

#Nato secretary general, Mark #Rutte, called on Europe to be ready to respond in a military way if the Russian army would attack Europe next.

He stressed that currently we witness the biggest war conflict in #Ukraine since the end of the II World War.

Mubasher is a U.S. citizen and ICE fascists kidnapped him. This denial of due process is the fascism Trump is enabling. We cannot tolerate this. This is indefensible.

"Nobody is coming here. Canadian tourism to the US has gone down 18 percent, and those staying in the Western Hemisphere are going to South America, Central America, or the Caribbean instead. Europeans aren’t coming here. Asians are going to Europe. As of September, we were set to lose out on somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 billion in tourism bucks this year. …

Shithole country status: activated."

When the CDC’s panel relies on vaccine deniers over experts and applies an impossibly high standard to evaluate vaccines, it isn’t empowering parents to make better decisions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/11/world/hepatitis-b-vaccine-vote-reverses-progress/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #vaccines #medicine #cdc #donaldtrump #robertfkennedyjr #health #hepatitisb #covid19

A billionaire owns WaPo. Another owns LA Times. Another owns Meta. And now one of the richest men alive controls CBS AND is openly trying to buy Warner Bros. This is not normal. This is not safe.

Israel is on trial for genocide at the International Court of Justice and its prime minister is a wanted fugitive.

There can be no real peace without accountability and restitution for the crimes committed in Gaza over the last two years: http://jacobin.com/2025/12/israel-gaza-genocide-icj-icc

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that Fed staffers believe federal data could be overstating job creation by up to 60,000 jobs a month—which suggests the jobs market might be shrinking https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/fed-chair-jerome-powell-says-u-s-may-be-drastically-overstating-jobs-numbers-741c635d?st=pe5yuk

Apparently my lovely government is in a state of histrionics over... fonts. Marco Rubio, a republican legislator has issued a stern memo to reverse changes to fonts described as more readable and accessible by some disability advocates.

Conservatives regard "inclusion" and "accessible" as dirty words.

(Were #picaTheCat and I your benevolent dictators all fonts would be fixed width so the ASCII art could look good.)

Thank your for your attention to this matter.
