Israel’s use of white phosphorus in south Lebanon does not only burn homes and flesh, it scars the land itself. Olive trees that have stood for generations are impacted, their soil poisoned. My friend @baydoun.bsky.social documents this destruction: whitephosphorus.info

Bellingcat’s J&A helped build mechanisms for open source research to enhance legal accountability, particularly in atrocity crimes. This is the final research to be conducted by @bellingcat.com as part of this team but GLAN is continuing its OSI accountability work. j-and-a.glanlaw.org/kharkiv.

Let's keep it out of our politics
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Hard to not see some truth in this
This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.
