Almost 400,000 people missing in a population of 2.23 million people.
That's rough 20% of the population missing - most of them children.

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.

Genocide.

I'm not an American (obviously) but why would National Guards be in Syria??

I thought these were like reservists who are for domestic military stuff only??
President Donald Trump vowed retaliation for the killing of two U.S. Army soldiers and an American civilian interpreter in Syria on Saturday. U.S. officials told PBS News that the shooter had ties to ISIS and had infiltrated Syrian security forces.

Incredibly funny how many people are reading this as Indiana GOP being woke, and not that they know they'll lose net seats with the proposed redistricting lol
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith (R) tells NewsNation's Blake Burman that he endorses the Trump administration's plan to primary the state senators that voted against a gerrymandering plan.

"We’re gonna find some really good America First candidates to run in this next primary season."

The genocide isn’t over. Israel may have slowed the rate of direct killings it is committing by bombing Gaza, but the indirect killings continue unabated. And so does the Israeli-engineered “debate” in the West, one designed to obscure and excuse the mass murder of Gaza’s population.

NHS: We would suggest you do not get pregnant again.
Wife: That's not a problem. We're done having kids.
NHS: Great.
Wife: Actually, since it would also solve my chronic pain issues, could I get a hysterectomy?
NHS: Oh no no no, you're far too young. What if you wanted more kids?
Wife: ...I'm sorry?

The Palestine hunger strikers in jail are moving into the period where irreversible damage can be done and death becomes a real danger.

I had not understood how serious the situation is.

None of them are convicted, and there is no need to keep them in jail at all.

Happy 70th birthday to the European flag 🇪🇺

Back in 1955, the Council of Europe reviewed more than 100 designs, and chose this one as the winner.

The 12 stars stand for completeness, not countries. The design was chosen so it wouldn’t change with borders or new members.
