You've probably seen a lot of news about bananas going extinct lately. And then a wave of pieces saying, "no, they won't go extinct." BOTH takes are simultaneously true--YUP. And it will be either the best or worst thing for our 🍌. A THREAD 1/ https://t.co/nfbZN9zCMz @WIRED

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed in the House, but there's something that isn't getting attention, that is difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

Last week, I was expelled from @Columbia for protesting the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza. As president of @SW_Columbia , Columbia’s student workers union, I was also fired from my job. The Trump administration is pushing their narrative. Here’s the real story. 🧵

This is the BBC's banned documentary about Gaza. It was taken down after pro-Israel lobbying. Let's make sure we watch it - and share it. https://t.co/VFUP0Abdw9

One of the simplest and most important things you can do for anyone in your life is have them switch to Democracy Now's daily news podcast instead of the NPR or New York Times daily podcasts. Just that little change in propaganda exposure dramatically improves people's lives.

Doctors Without Borders just had access to the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza after the ceasefire, and this is the testimony of the emergency coordinator about Israel’s techniques of genocide: deliberate destruction of life saving machines to completely depopulate the area.

In any other country, a billionaire donor like Musk installing loyalists to seize federal agencies, access private citizen data and information about his competitors, and gut working class policies to fund his own tax cut would be called a coup.

Democrats were quicker to respond to students protesting a genocide than to the richest man on earth trying to unilaterally shut down a government agency

This is the correct takeaway. Democrats chose corporations and Netanyahu over stopping Trump and it’s time for the party to be honest about that. There must be a change.

My colleagues can no longer deny that this is genocide. We must follow our own U.S. laws. We need an Arms Embargo now.

They’re gonna spend 100x more manpower and money to find the UHC CEO shooter than they ever did investigating UHC’s unlawful practices and the deaths they caused.

I’ve seen a lot of good takes highlighting the fact that the murdered health insurance CEO was himself a murderer, and a much more prolific one than any serial killer or mass shooter that has ever lived. The only difference was that his style of murder was protected by the law.

Anyone who’s worked with @amnesty knows they’re extremely cautious about using the word genocide. Many criticize them for it, but it greatly magnifies the significance of statements like this.
