Nearly 30 years ago, Congress had the courage to take on the tobacco industry, whose products killed more than 400,000 Americans every year. Banning fast-food advertising marketed to children, could cut the childhood obesity rate by up to 18%. Congress must act.

This is policy in the West Bank: shoot first, ask no questions later. The US cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the illegal actions of the extremist Israeli government. We cannot allow American citizens and innocent Palestinians to be killed with impunity. We must act.

Prediction for November: "anti-Trump election officials are eating the ballot papers!!!"

The New York Times reports that there were no U.S. officials at the funeral of Aysenur Eygi, the U.S. citizen who was killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank last week. While it’s true that her funeral was a one-hour flight away from the nearest embassy or consulate, it would have sent a profound message if a U.S. official had attended. I say that while also acknowledging there are much more profound messages and actions, but these little things really matter to most people. Now, if her family asked that no U.S. officials be present, that is their right, but if they didn’t, this would have been such an easy thing to do.

This week: 19 people killed & scores injured in a strike in a “humanitarian zone” in Gaza. An American shot in the head in the West Bank. Now, another school bombed, killing 14 people, including 6 UN aid workers. Enough is enough. No more money for Netanyahu's war machine.

This is an excellent documentary. It follows a single cow. You watch her give birth to a calf, provide the milk we drink, you see her graze in the fields and socialize with other cows. And then when she shows signs of age and illness, you watch her human handlers, whom she trusts, shoot her in the head. I’m not a vegetarian, but I see the occasional discourse about it on here. I think if you don’t have some misgivings about killing nice animals and eating them you’re probably a little heartless. At the very least people should have better understanding of where their food comes from.

This is as monstrous as it is unnecessary in 2024… 💔

It happens every single time: the message from peaceful & righteous protesters gets drowned out by wreckers, possible provocateurs and morons whose juvenile emotional release is more important to them than the cause itself. But make no mistake, among the protesters yesterday were freed Israeli hostages and family members of current hostages. Six of them were arrested yesterday for protesting Netanyahu's lie-riddled speech. Disgusting how they're being smeared.

The ICC prosecutor is right to issue arrest warrants for political leaders who engage in war crimes. The global community must uphold international law. Without these standards of decency & morality, the planet may rapidly descend into anarchy, never-ending wars, and barbarism.

Americans are not blind. They see the bombing in Gaza, the starving children. Congress pretends we are powerless to stop it. But, the fact is, if we had the courage to stand up to some powerful special interests and use our leverage, we could stop the destruction NOW.

Only way to stop worsening war crimes & catastrophic conditions in Gaza is for nations to live by the humanitarian values they preach so that the UN #SecurityCouncil can take real action against the Israeli government - who are ignoring all pleas to stop killing civilians #Rafah

To Israelis still able to feel. Stop your government. Take to the streets to demand an immediate ceasefire. Enough is enough. theguardian.com/world/2024/f…

Full statement from Tal Mitnick, the Israeli 18-year-old sentenced to prison for refusing to enlist: "I do not want to take part in the continuation of the oppression and the continuation of the cycle of bloodshed, but to work directly for a solution, and therefore I refuse."

Gaza is being flattened, thousands of people are dying, this must stop now. We condemn Israel’s demand in the strongest possible terms.” - Meinie Nicolai, MSF General Director

🔴BREAKING: Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients. We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza. We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

One of the easiest and most significant things we can do and promote to address climate change is eating a lot less meat, dairy and eggs! This is in accordance with the Lancet Planetary Health Diet, etc Nowadays it's usually quite easy to just go vegan. #MEDINFO23 #MedTwitter

As fires burn across Canada, as choking smoke covers parts of the US, our government wants to add fuel to the fires. Doctors around the world should join our colleagues in Darwin to call for a ban on fracking. @CAPE_ACME @KlimaGesundheit @PSRenvironment @Mon4Kooyong @SophieScamps

Hi everyone, I don't know how many of my followers are real people who care about Ukraine and how many are bots. I would like to address the real people who choose to stand with Ukraine in these dark times. Could you please try retweeting as many of my posts about the Kherson region as you feel comfortable with? The world needs to see what is taking place there! The world needs to see the devastation Russia has inflicted on these poor people, their pets, and the wildlife in the region. Please help spread the word! Many thanks in advance! Thank you for your support! Natalka 💙💛

We tax and regulate other industries that harm, with the fossil fuel industry, not only is the tax minimal but we subside them! #SafeguardOurClimate #auspol
