#Israel 🇮🇱
Yahya al-Sinwar, the head of Hamas in Gaza, says they have received all the military, missiles, weapons and training capabilities from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Without the Islamic Republic, Hamas would not have such a missile capability. We have received Fajr missiles and Grad missiles from the Islamic Republic.

So yeah keep screaming Israel should ceasefire

Hamas official Ghazi Hamad says they will repeat October 7-like attacks until Israel is annihilated.

In a first, EPA survey puts a number on lead pipes around US

'Florida, with an estimated 1.16 million pipes, was a surprise to one expert. Industrial states like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania are more typically associated with extensive lead pipe issues.

Illinois ranked second in Tuesday’s survey, with 1.04 million lead pipes, followed by Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and New York.'

Anyone who doesn't believe that we are in a dangerous place in our nation's history has their head in the sand. #Antisemitism #Hate and #Racism are on the rise.

And when their own acute crises come, and they look for help from others, they'll find themselves swept under the rug by their erstwhile friends who were always there in fair weather.

The key to dealing with suffering isn't denial; it's realizing the your suffering and the suffering of others are not intrinsically different, and that addressing other people's pain gives you a better ability to deal with your own; and that many problems are best dealt with collectively.

I’m so proud to support my rep Adam Schiff for U.S. Senate! Adam is my Congressman since he 1st started in Congress from 2000 & onward! Adam leads with empathy, integrity, courage, intelligence, defending democracy, advocating for the people! #FreshResists #DemVoice1 #ONEV1 #wtpBlue https://secure.actblue.com/donate/abs-website

How long before you'll have to register your uterus in Florida like you do a new car?

Since the House MAGA maniacs have removed the magnetometers from the House chamber, Biden and Harris should insist on extra Secret Service protection, and maybe bullet proof glass enclosures. Wondering how many of those MAGA fools will be wearing their AR-15 lapel pins.
