After 2 years of war, 98% of tree cropland and 75% of greenhouses in Gaza have been destroyed. Remote sensing maps tracking the progression of damage can help identify the best ways to remediate the land & rebuild Gaza’s agricultural sector. #AGU25

98% of Gaza’s Tree Cropland Destroyed by Israel - Eos
Maps based on remote sensing analysis could inform remediation efforts by identifying whether agricultural lands were damaged by bombs, debris, or forced displacement of its caretakers.

The administration has unlawfully terminated over a hundred immigration judges and is intent on replacing them with “deportation judges” to speed up their mass deportation agenda.
I’m introducing legislation to restore proper guardrails over who can serve as a temporary immigration judge.

Imagine being a goy and standing up and telling Jewish people they don’t know or understand their own fucking history. That Jews are ignorant and too uneducated to have correct opinions about the Jewish issue of our time that has broken families and communities. You absolute piece of trash.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

a funny aside: last year I visited Montgomery and saw the statue of Rosa Parks at the stop where she boarded the bus, and the man showing me around noted 'now that bus musta had about 50 seats yet about 100 people have told me they were on that bus when Mrs. Parks refused to give up her seat' 😂
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.
