Backed by #Trump, #Israel Shreds #CeaseFire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across #Gaza | Common Dreams

"This return to violence does not come as a surprise," said one advocacy group. "#Netanyahu has, from the beginning, signaled his intention to abandon the cease-fire process before it could become a lasting peace."

by Jake Johnson, Mar 18, 2025

"Muhannad Hadi, humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, said in a statement Tuesday that the fresh wave of Israeli airstrikes 'is unconscionable' and that a cease-fire 'must be reinstated immediately.'

"'People in Gaza have endured unimaginable suffering,' said Hadi. 'An end to hostilities, sustained #humanitarian assistance, release of the hostages, and the restoration of basic services and people’s livelihoods, are the only way forward.'"

Could we agree that #worldBicycleRelief 's #bicycle is not really #solarpunk ?

Sure, it's nice it's durable and given to people in need.

But it's not really repairable. Custom, copyrighted components designed to keep the company afloat, available only through controllable humanitarian channels.

I'd take well-standardized open source any day.

“People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True.
—

Organizations that provide vital care for desperate and vulnerable people around the world have been forced to halt operations, turn away patients and lay off staff. “I’ve never seen anything that scares me as much as this,” one doctor said.

Some thoughts I had today about President Carter (corrected): President Carter did some exemplary things as president: he appointed RBG to the US Court of Appeals for the DC District, brokered the Camp David Agreement between Israel & Egypt, and appointed a racially diverse federal judiciary, among other wonderful things. Of great importance to Alaskans and the world, President Carter signed ANILCA (Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act), which expanded the Public Land Order consisting of nearly 9 million acres established by Eisenhower to 19 million acres and renamed the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge or ANWR. His post-presidency was, I think, where we got to see Jimmy Carter, the humanitarian, Christian, and peace-maker. He walked the walk. I will forever be grateful to Jimmy Carter for serving in the US military, as Governor of GA, and as POTUS. He was truly one in a million and will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace, good sir.

#RIPJimmyCarter -- #Humanitarian #ClimateChangePioneer #NiceGuy. My late grandmother volunteered to get him elected and worked on his re-election campaign, and said he was the only decent human being to run for the office. We both thought he had been set up by the #GOP -- and it turns out, we may have been right!

New claim about #IranHostageCrisis sabotage may change narrative of #Carter presidency

Mar 20, 2023

"In the summer of 1980, a prominent Republican close to #RonaldReagan's campaign sought to sabotage then-President Jimmy Carter's reelection by asking #MiddleEastern leaders to get a message to the #Iranians: Keep the American #hostages until after the election, and the Reagan administration will give you a better deal.

"That stunning reporting this weekend by The New York Times is prompting a rethinking of presidential history."

Tragic Estimates of Human Losses in Gaza

Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza The conflict has led to devastating losses, with estimates suggesting over 186,000 deaths. Access to healthcare is severely limited, and urgent humanitarian intervention is needed. The situation is dire, with millions displaced and basic necessities lacking. We must act now! #Gaza #HumanRights #Crisis #Solidarity #Peace #Humanitarian #Conflict #Health #Urgency #Victims #HumanitarianCrisis…
