Quoting: @dropsitenews — (Drop Site) 🟢 NEW: Hamas Government in Gaza Administered Elections It Was Barred From Contesting The Government Information Office in Gaza issued a formal statement Saturday declaring full support for the first municipal elections in Gaza in nearly two decades — despite Hamas being officially excluded from running by Palestinian Authority decree. The statement noted that more than 500 government employees from across the Hamas-dominated ministries and institutions participated in organizing and securing the vote in Deir al-Balah municipality, calling the elections “a model for enhancing democracy, developing local governance, and strengthening community participation.” The office said it acted “believing in the importance of the peaceful transfer of responsibilities and the infusion of new energy” into local governance, and expressed hope the experience would be replicated across other municipalities in Gaza. Hamas administered the elections it was legally barred from contesting, as its political leadership was shut out by an Abbas decree requiring all candidates to commit to PLO agreements with Israel — a condition Hamas rejects. Despite its exclusion, Gaza police secured polling sites with armed guards, CNN reported. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem called the vote “an important and necessary step” and demanded that presidential and legislative elections follow — a demand echoed by Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, head of the Palestinian National Initiative. The Government Media Office statement reaffirmed Hamas’s commitment to “supporting all efforts aimed at strengthening the resilience of our great Palestinian people and improving the quality of services provided to them, in line with our national and professional responsibilities.” More details in linked post below ⬇️

Quoting: @gazanotice — (Gaza Notifications) 🚨 Gaza’s Healthcare System Collapsing Under Israeli Siege as 20,000 Patients Remain Trapped Around 20,000 patients in Gaza are registered for urgent medical travel abroad, according to Ministry of Health and WHO lists, but remain unable to leave due to the closure of crossings ,with only a very small number permitted to exit. More than 1,500 patients have died while waiting for treatment. Over 90% of hospitals have been severely damaged or are out of service amid the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, leaving critical services such as cardiac catheterization and open-heart surgery unavailable. More than 4,000 cancer patients are among the referral cases, alongside thousands of others in urgent need of care. What is unfolding is a systematic collapse of healthcare, with medicine and medical supplies blocked, worsening what many describe as a form of silent killing.

Quoting: @gazanotice — (Gaza Notifications) 🚨BREAKING : In a new massacre, Israeli drones directly targeted a phone-charging point run by civilian Imad Miqdad moments ago in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, killing him along with other civilians. With no electricity infrastructure left in displacement camps, solar-powered and improvised energy points have become essential for survival, yet they are being deliberately targeted, cutting civilians off from even the most basic means of living.

Quoting: @hadihtt — (Hadi Hoteit | هادي حطيط) Update: 5 Israeli airstrikes on South Lebanon, Bint Jbeil area, in less than 1 hour. Kawnin, Safad and Jmayjmeh. Many civilian casualties reported. This is happening while Israelis keep occupying many southern border towns and imposing a complete evacuation on about 50 other towns.

Quoting: @heidipett — (Heidi Pett) Israel has been systematically destroying the essential infrastructure for life in south Lebanon. These solar panels supply electricity (that also powers a water pump) to the village of Debel. This is a Christian village surrounded by Israeli troops whose residents have refused to leave, and where a soldier was filmed destroying a statue of Jesus. The Israeli military then made quite a show of apologising and replacing it, only to come back days later and do this. Just yesterday I was in Tibnine, where a nearby electricity substation that supplies it and 27 other locations was hit by a direct Israeli air strike. Even outside areas where it is occupying and detonating homes, Israel seeks to prevent return by making life unliveable for civilians in south Lebanon.

Quoting: @dropsitenews — (Drop Site) ⭕️ Three Palestinians, including two children, were killed in Israeli artillery shelling that struck the home of the Al-Tannani family near Kamal Adwan Hospital, north of Gaza City. Footage captured by Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed shows the aftermath at the hospital. Paramedic Mahmoud Abdel Rahman told Drop Site emergency teams responded immediately. “Up to this moment, we have recovered four injured individuals,” he said, adding that there are additional casualties at the site of the attack. “Most of them are civilians and children,” said Abdel Rahman, noting that despite the ceasefire, “This scene is repeated every day…This is a recurring event.” At least 13 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since early this morning, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. 🎥 by Mohamed Ahmed

Quoting: @edayforcongress — (Eileen Day for Congress) RIDGLAN FARMS—A breakdown of the problem, and what YOU can do to make a difference. There are three parts to this atrocity — and most people are only focused on the first one. 1. Breeder: Ridglan 2. Regulator: USDA 3. Buyers: Labs / Universities 1. Ridglan — the breeder Ridglan is forced to stop selling dogs in July, but that does NOT mean they are forced to fully shutdown, and it does NOT mean the dogs are automatically safe. Where are the ~2,000 dogs going? Who is taking them? Is there a written, documented plan? Are dogs still being sold before July? 🔴If you want to do something, contact: Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Wisconsin Attorney General’s office. Ask for the plan in writing. Ask what enforcement looks like if the terms aren’t followed. 2. USDA — the federal regulator Ridglan still has a FEDERAL license through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). That’s why this doesn't end in July. USDA APHIS Animal Care — handles inspections and enforcement under the Animal Welfare Act. (see thread for details) 🔴Here’s what to actually do: Go to the USDA Animal Care Public Search Tool and pull every inspection report, annual report, and enforcement record for Ridglan. If anything is missing, file a FOIA request with APHIS and ask for: – inspection reports – photos and videos – compliance letters – complaint records – enforcement actions – and any written plan for where these dogs are going Ask USDA directly: What would trigger restriction or revocation of this facility’s license? What happens after July? That is what determines whether this abuse actually stops or just shifts. 3. The BUYERS — labs, universities, pharma This is the part almost no one is talking about enough. 📢WHO IS BUYING THESE DOGS AND TESTING ON THEM? Ridglan exists because someone is BUYING. ➡️This is supply and demand.⬅️ If buyers stop buying, then breeders like Ridglan cease to exist. I found records compiled by Rise for Animals and The Marty Project and cross-checked parts of the data against NIH grants, institutional disclosures, and USDA inspection reports. See the attached list. Almost 1/3 of the list are major universities —the same places we send our kids, donate to, and support publicly. So if people want to direct their energy somewhere that actually matters, start asking those institutions: Do you use dogs in research? Do you source from Ridglan or breeders like them? Which grants are funding this work? What is your plan to stop? Contact: – Office of Research – IACUC (animal care & use committee) – compliance/ethics offices – and leadership 1⃣Ridglan is one part of the problem. 2⃣USDA is one part of the problem. 3⃣The buyers are one part of the problem. Most people are only yelling at the first one. If we actually want this to change, we have to go after all three — not just the one that’s getting the most attention online.
