💚💚 We stand with & support our brave EPA colleagues who took the courageous step to sign a public Declaration of Dissent to their administrator. They do this BECAUSE of their commitment to protecting the environment and American people. Tonight, the EPA illegally fired many of the public signers.

At least 159 Palestinians in Gaza have starved to death amid Israel's ongoing siege blocking most humanitarian aid from entering the territory. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to kill scores of Palestinians on a daily basis, including at food distribution sites widely described as "death traps."

A retired U.S. soldier who worked at Gaza aid delivery sites said, “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland. We, the United States, are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza.”

Border Patrol says he was at the red mark, 65 feet south of the border, when he "made an abrupt starboard turn and struck the port bow of the Coast Guard small-boat," causing him to capsize. He says that's ridiculous, he was in Canadian waters and was going to shore to talk when they hit him.
A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell. In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
