Massive explosion as the israelis continue to target Palestinian families and children in Gaza in an attempt to kill and maim as many as possible

I will not share the last photo of Hossam, his body blodied and mangled after being hit by an Israeli strike while doing his job as a journalist.
I will share this moment instead, to remind you that he is not a number. He had a name, and a mother who loved him, just like you.

‘NO OTHER LAND’ co-director Hamdan Ballal has been beaten and injured by Israeli settlers then abducted from the ambulance he was placed in.
Yuval Abraham says there has been no sign of Hamdan since.

Nothing to see here, just a 49-page UN report documenting Israel's "genocidal acts" in Gaza and its systematic use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

Setakat ni Malaysia setelkan taik 1MDB yg ditinggalkan najis nazak sebanyak RM48.06b. Taik keseluruhan katanya melebihi RM50b. Berapa banyak RM50b ni? Ini sedikit thread anggaran ringkas buat bangsat-bangsat yg dok ulang ayat,
"Sakau-sakau dia pun, dia bg balik sikit ke kita."

If Assad fled and the army surrendered yesterday, why is Israel bombing government buildings in the Syrian capital? I have spent over an hour looking for why they did this and can find nothing. Please comment below if you can find it.

Climate change impacts you directly or indirectly and this is a yearly occurence. Food security, health, economic and non-economic losses are inevitable when it comes to the growing impacts of climate change.
Malaysians, brace yourself for another price increase.
Severe flooding in several states has caused vegetable prices to spike by 50-80%.
More than 100 hectares (or 250 footballs fields) of vegetable farms were damaged.
• Lettuce: RM3/kg ➡️ RM6/kg
• Sawi, Bayam, Kangkung: RM3.50/kg ➡️ RM8/kg
• Tomato: RM4/kg ➡️ RM8/kg
• Lady fingers: RM6.50/kg ➡️ RM9.50/kg
• Red peppers: RM14/kg ➡️ RM22/kg

“Every year, 6,000 people die on Malaysian roads.
Disturbingly, 70 per cent of them are motorcycle riders, many of them young adults.”
If an A380 plane sits about 600 people, this is 10 planes crashed every year. Why are we not demanding better public transport/road safety?
#NSTleader A death every 80 minutes calls for a serious rethink about road safety. The three common factors in every death and injury on Malaysian roads are these: roads, vehicles and humans.

The most underrated glow-up? Falling back in love with your life after a long period of uncertainty—finding joy in the simple things, choosing yourself unapologetically, and living in alignment with your most authentic self.

Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar:
“Does the world expect us to be well-behaved victims while we are getting killed? For us to be slaughtered without making a noise?”

So this is what national gaslighting feels like…when every single MP — except Muar MP Syed Saddiq from MUDA, the only one to vote against the regressive provisions in the constitutional amendment bill — completely ignored those provisions in their debates.
It feels like I’m living in some alternate reality.
Some MPs are even celebrating the bipartisan passage of the bill as a “historic” achievement — blithely ignoring the impact of the newly passed constitutional amendments in perpetuating generations of statelessness.
Or maybe it’s the politicians who are stuck in an alternate reality…far away from the hell on earth that they have condemned the permanent residents of Orang Asli/ Asal and people of Indian and Chinese origin to.
Not to mention the very mothers themselves who fought for the right to confer citizenship to their children born abroad — since the bill isn’t retroactive. This right will only apply to children BORN AFTER the bill comes into law.
I understand political realities and the whip, but if even one MP who participated in the debate had declared that they would vote “yes” on protest, maybe that might have been a bit easier to swallow.
The whip doesn’t control your speech; only your vote.
Now thousands of the most vulnerable and marginalised people of Malaysia will continue to suffer statelessness.
Their children and their children’s children have been doomed to the same fate.
They continue to live their lives in an inescapable cycle of poverty, far far away from Parliament, unaware that in the air-conditioned halls of this Ivory Tower, their rights were abolished in a mere 48 hours.
Dear god…what have all of you politicians done…

At this point, Klang Valley employers who insist on WFO even though staff can do their job while WFH are pure selfish.
• Spend 3h on the road in floods to do an 8h job.
• Increase traffic for everyone.
• Endanger staff (sinkholes, landslides, etc)

I lost all heart yesterday to make any comments.
How could 206 MPs fail us?
With 1 lone voice of humanity.
What happened to all the MPs I though we could trust?
How hard like stone become the hearts of those is power towards vulnerable children.

It’s illuminating that Israel can send drones up close like this to stare Hamas members in the face and yet they choose to drop 2000 pound bombs on crowded civilian areas.
