Fun fact: a lot of PR money has been and will continue to be spent to convince working class consumers that the small things we do every day are "destroying the planet". Who pays for the PR? The actual biggest contributors to climate change. Heat exhaustion is a real threat, just turn the a/c on.

Wow. More than a century after the fight I chronicled in Right to Ride, when Black passengers challenged segregation on trains and boycotted segregated streetcars, Black passengers are now being told to move to the back of the bus? And threatened with arrest if they don't? #StudyingSegregation

Nobody arguing in good faith has believed the official numbers for well over a year. We knew that the IDF specifically targeted those who could keep track so as to obscure the true death toll.
A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza.
That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.
