*Content Warning – S.A. & war*
So many legal events occurring today as well as surprise indictments from Arizona for those fake electors in the 2020 election; & Arizona’s third attempt to repeal their archaic abortion law. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments about “absolute presidential immunity” – even though the creation of our country was a direct response to ‘absolute monarchical immunity’. 🤷🏻♀️

If you’re following what is happening in Gaza, Hamas says they would lay down their arms if an independent Palestinian state is established. According to the AP, “the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel & that it would lay down its weapons & convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.”
It is unlikely anything will come of it. Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in retaliation for the attacks of October 7th & Netanyahu is opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state. (Sewell, 25.April.24, AP)
We shall return
From the destruction and hatred you sow
From every inch of our land
That hosted a martyr
We shall return
Despite of your killing and brutality and the collaboration of traitors who sold out
helping to realize your schemes in our Palestine
We shall return to our land to the land of our ancestors!

Back home in the US, the New York Court of Appeals overturned the 2020 rape conviction of Harvey Weinstein. The Court said, “prosecutors in the pivotal #MeToo case called witnesses whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.” That, apparently, meant that he was “unfairly tried for past behaviour.” The court has ordered a new trial. Thankfully, Weinstein remains in prison as he was convicted of rape in LA.
The Issue
“What is the issue? Government, money, abuse, SILENCE?
We’ve been silent for many reasons, but the issue is surfacing.
Silence No More!”

Climate Change & Sustainability News (nothing new, but really, I mean we REALLY should boycott all of these brands until they realize they’re not doing enough to mitigate their destruction of our world).

3. Nestlé (3%)
4. Danone (3%)
5. Altria (2%)
The above illustration shows the locations of the garbage patches in the Pacific Ocean: the Western Garbage Patch, the Eastern Garbage Patch, and the Subtropical Convergence Zone. “These large rotating ocean currents (gyres) contain marine debris particles and are characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris that have become trapped by the currents of the North Pacific Current.” (Source: NOAA)
