Why does Planned Parenthood contract with Raytheon? (prismreports.org)

To the dismay of many sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice workers in the U.S., many movement organizations had to be pushed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza or otherwise voice support for Palestinians who are being murdered en masse by the Israeli military. This includes Israel’s recent assault on Rafah, a...

This is so confusing. It doesn’t look like AI because all the print is clear and relevant. If it is a Photoshop it is very very good.

Fears rise of another landslide and spread of disease in Papua New Guinea (www.npr.org)

The U.N. agency has officials at the scene in Enga province helping shelter 1,600 displaced people. The agency estimates 670 villagers died, while Papua New Guinea’s government has told the United Nations it thinks more than 2,000 people were buried. Five bodies had been retrieved from the rubble by Monday....

‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank (www.bbc.com)

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

These groups are like the Israeli Hamas - religious fundamentalists who just want violence. The only thing that separates them in my mind is the lack of political power and billions in funding. Unfortunately, they are gradually increasing in both power and funding under the likes of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir.

Hamas has an annual budget between $600 million and $2.5 billion.

Yes, that is exactly how radical right fascists define the upside down flag. What does she think this proves?

This has been a symbol among right wing anarchists and whìte nationalists for years that liberalism and immigration have placed the nation in peril. The fact that a supreme court justice believes that the US government needs to be dismantled should be immediate cause for dismissal.

A generation ago, most funeral homes were mom-and-pop places, often in the business for generations; think “6 Feet Under” if you ever watched it.

Like most other industries, they have now mostly been eaten up by conglomerates that have no connection to the community and only care about the bottom line. Companies like the $10-billion Service Corp Int’l or Assurant, Inc. (which literally sound like 90s TV villains) have wrecked the industry.

It’s an expensive thing that most people will only use once or twice in their lifetime (the family makes the decisions more often that the deceased). It is an area in which most people are ignorant, so they just sort of trust that the people providing the service are doing what they say. If you’ve never paid for a coffin, you probably have no idea what one costs. You don’t know the difference between a good one and a bad one. So imagine an industry where the customer is usually in a mentally vulnerable state, has little to no information, little ability to make a price comparison, is ready to spend thousands of dollars, and will never inspect or verify the product.

Now add that it is a multibillion dollar industry and you can appreciate how easy and how enticing it is for big companies to drive out the family businesses. Those sort of practices also pressure small operations to operate dishonestly in order to compete, and create room for fraudsters to muscle in.

I don’t care if you are having your ashes spread in the ocean or shot into space, or if you are donating your body or being buried in a cardboard box. Find a local, family owned funeral home, set an appointment. They can help you with whatever your plans are.

Wow, thanks for that. So, what do you recommend about finding a good one?

I’ve seen a lot of people put off finding one or just using whoever shows up first on Google - and often they are worse off for it. I’ve always lived in cities and been involved in the kind of communities where I have a relationship with high quality directors.

I haven’t been able to find any explanation from Harvard about who the specific students were, or why they were singled out for punishment. Does anybody know? Were they the leaders of the protest? Were they accused of specific acts that were considered more serious than what other students did? I saw one article that said two of them are Rhodes Scholars, but I can’t find much more information.
