This weekend marks 40 years since Live Aid took place. For all its flaws, it was a rare moment when the world of music united to take a stand against injustice, #poverty, and #hunger. I was a kid watching that spectacle, and I can’t help but reflect on how far we’ve slipped when it comes to protecting those in need. Four decades later, the children of #LiveAid do nothing as mass murder, hunger, and ethnic cleansing unfold in #Gaza.

"Getting #food in Gaza didn't used to be a free-for-all

For most of the war, hundreds of aid distribution centers across #Gaza would provide flour and basics. #UN agencies would send a text message when it was your turn to pick up food, you waited hours in line, and everyone received their share.

#Israel and the #US accused Hamas of diverting that aid, so they set up the #GHF [death trap]"

"At 2am the gunfire stopped. We took it as a sign that the site had opened. I ran with the crowds toward the #food distribution site, stepping over bodies.

...

The #Israeli newspaper #Haaretz quoted anonymous soldiers who said they were ordered to deliberately open fire at unarmed crowds on their way to the food sites. Israeli leaders denied the allegations"

Continued thread

"GHF doesn't have fixed opening hours. It opens and closes the site often within minutes... Many edge to the front of the crowd... despite the risk of Israeli soldiers perceiving them as a threat.

...a car raced down the road with food tied to its roof. The passengers yelled: GHF is open!

Crowds began running down the road toward the site, as cars and motorcycles raced each other. I saw people get crushed underneath cars."

Palestinians resort to eating grass as hunger deepens in Gaza

We are experiencing a severe shortage of food, and the lack of baby milk is a major problem.

Everyone in Gaza is suffering from hunger. This situation must end.

Some people have to eat grass and leaves due to food shortages.

All Palestinians endure daily hunger. This situation is not sustainable.

After Republicans passed Trump's giveaway to billionaires "millions of people are going to lose health insurance coverage, the insurance is going to be less generous, and providers are going to get paid less. Hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care providers that will be paid significantly less will result in reductions in services or closures ... The bill also cuts food assistance to the neediest Americans”:

Ich kenne nichts, was meine momentane Verfassung zur Situation auf unserem Planeten treffender zum Ausdruck bringen könnte als dieses Stück.

Denn es taugt überhaupt nicht, die Gefühle dazu immer und immer wieder zu verdrängen und davon krank oder hart zu werden.
Es ist Trauerarbeit.

"Acc to the USDA, 40% of all farmworkers in the US are undoc. That labor simply can't be quickly replaced (if at all) thru H-2A visas or the hiring of US citizens.

Mass #deportations would lead🚨to the closure of many farms & cause food prices to skyrocket."

Bus leaders fear economic downfall if Trump continues to allow #ICE to arrest employed undoc #immigrants.
