Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

These tiny sea stars (Parvulastra vivipara) don't get much larger than what you see here — and there's something else incredibly special about them. 🧵⤵️

An infrared view from JWST reveals stars being born in dusty cocoons. A matching image from Chandra exposes their violent side, as the baby stars create flares & jets that blast out x-rays. 🧪🔭

I'm devastated and heartbroken. Staff at the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) got the ax. Most likely means the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) is also cooked. USGCRP was the glue across the Federal family on all things climate - reducing duplication and making efficiencies.

Journalists: you cannot deport U.S. citizens out of their own country. Do not simply regurgitate the words of the administration if those words are inaccurate. To do so is spreading disinformation. Deportation, according to the govt itself, is for people with no legal right to be here.
