@inaya I was a shelter manager during Hurricane Katrina. The ARC did nothing, but had 2 reps who sat in chairs at the shelter. The SA brought us blankets even though their own building was completely flooded and they had nowhere to go. When the public shelters closed, the RC opened 2 of their own, pretended they’d been open all along, and took all the press. It was disgusting. @irenes@mastodon.social @merileedkarr @housepanther

==
The “lung float” test claims to help determine if a #baby was born alive or dead, but many medical examiners say it’s too unreliable.
Yet the test is still being used to bring murder charges — and get convictions.

Bad: Asking small content creators why they deserve financial support.
Good: Asking everyone why billionaires deserves billions of dollars.
Great: Draining the bank accounts of the ultra rich and distributing their wealth among the masses like some kind of modern day tech-savvy Robin Hood.

Rand Paul is the reason there are no US ambassadors in Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Lebanon.
No representation, no insight, no official relations.
Rand Paul is holding the appointments hostage because he wants documents on the origins of covid19.
How can he and Tuberville, both minority senators, jeopardize US security so easily?
The woman whose body was seen in the video in the back of a van driven by terrorists to Gaza has been identified. The terrorists stripped her, and she is probably no longer among the living.
30-year-old Shani Look was a German citizen who visited Israel to participate in the music festival held near the border fence in Gaza.

@housepanther While I agree with you in general here, when an emergency hits, the Salvation Army hits the ground and helps everyone, unlike the American Red Cross which sits back and watches until it’s almost over and then races in to take credit. @irenes@mastodon.social @merileedkarr
@EyalL The important part of the article is towards the end where it reminds us “The map is labelled “British Mandate Palestine”, yet fails to show that the Mandate initially included Transjordan. Furthermore, the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine did not commence until 1922. At the start of 1917 , Palestine was still part of the Ottoman Empire, following whose defeat in World War 1 the area came under interim government by the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration.” @Miriamm
