Wild! Ppl throw away 80% of items purchased on Black Friday after few uses

Black Friday deliveries also generate 429,000 tonnes of emissions

Black Friday is built on exploited retail workers, migrant warehouse workers, garment workers in Bangladesh, forced labour in Congo

Community > capitalism!!

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.

That's more than 11 violations every single day.

The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.

Israel’s entire inventory of combat capable aircraft comes from the U.S.; Israel’s attack and transport helicopters are also all of U.S. origin.

Last Wednesday, Palestinians in Deir el-Balah held a mass funeral for 54 unidentified Palestinians whose bodies were returned by the Israeli military after months of being held. Today, Palestinians continue to hold funerals for dozens more loved ones, many showing evidence of torture and execution.

because global far right facist violence everywhere hinges on anti-migrant racism - from immigration raids to daily scapegoating of migrants thru supremacist racism - the uprisings against ICE destabilize global fascism at its core.

to be anti fascist is to anti border.

Fotoğrafta, uzun açık renk saçlı genç bir kadın yer alıyor. Kadın, şeffaf çerçeveli büyük gözlükler ve büyük halka küpeler takıyor. Üzerinde siyah bir üst var. Hafif bir gülümsemeyle doğrudan kameraya bakıyor. Arka planda tarihi Avrupa mimarisine sahip binalar, bir köprü ve su üzerinde yüzen tekneler görülüyor. Bu manzara bir nehir kıyısında oturduğunu gösteriyor. Hava açık ve aydınlık, ortam ferah bir şehir atmosferi sunuyor.

Over 1.1 million people in Gaza face catastrophic hunger. UNICEF says 9,000+ children are already acutely malnourished. Israel has not allowed any aid to enter Gaza since March 2. This is a deliberate, manufactured famine—and the world is letting it happen.
