Israel has captured the Rafah border crossing with tanks and troops and begun air strikes. Israel says that they are targeting Hamas but residential homes were hit and at least 23 Palestinians were killed.
Israel says that they have killed approximately 20 Hamas fighters and that Rafah had been used for “terrorist operations” but they have provided no evidence of this. Given the long lead time for this attack, it stands to reason Hamas was not a readily available target.
How can aid be delivered to survivors now? Rafah was one of the only functioning aid delivery port but now it is not.
As awful as this is, the U.S. says that it’s not as bad as they’d feared. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Israel gave the U.S. assurances that this is an “an operation of limited scale and duration.” Does that make you feel better?
Kirby said that a ceasefire may still be brokered after Israel rejected a ceasefire that Hamas agreed to. “Everybody is coming to the table,” Kirby said. But it will be too late for many civilians.
AstraZeneca Pulls It's Covid Vaccine For Killing Too Many People
AstraZeneca has been sued by victims and their families who were severely harmed or died after taking this vaccine. In court, the company “acknowledged that its vaccine 'can, in very rare cases, cause TTS'. TTS is short for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome – a medical condition where a person suffers blood clots along with a low platelet count. Platelets typically help the blood to clot.”
AstraZeneca said that they are pulling the vaccine due to low demand because there are new varieties of the Covid vaccine on the market. They of course admit no wrongdoing or danger nor will they face any consequences because they were given immunity when the vaccine was rolled out. The victims in lawsuits will be paid by the government, which means the taxpayers.

TikTok is suing the federal government over a recently-passed ban on the social network. They said that they would and they did. Get out the popcorn.
The lawsuit claims that the bill violates the constitutional protection of free speech in the name of national security. We all know that the ban has nothing to do with national security. I’ve got a bridge to sell you if you still believe that.
“For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide,” TikTok says it the suit.
