<div class="field field-field-text"><p>As first light reaches the scattered tents and animal pens of Ras al-Ahmar in the northern Jordan Valley, the silence is broken only by the cries of thirsty livestock waiting for water that no longer comes.</p>
<p>Days after <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israeli</a> forces destroyed three of the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> community's main water wells, residents are scrambling to secure enough water for their families, crops and animals in one of the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/occupation" target="_blank">occupied</a> West Bank's driest regions.</p>
<p>For 60-year-old Ali Bani Odeh, the destruction of the wells was more than merely the loss of infrastructure. A father of four and grandfather of 14, he has spent decades farming and raising livestock to support his family in Ras al-Ahmar.</p>
<p>Now, like dozens of other families, he is uncertain how long they can continue living on the land without a reliable water supply.</p>
<p>"Water is everything for us," Ali told Middle East Eye.</p>

Israel has raised objections to the US-backed roadmap for the disarmament of Palestinian factions and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260803-see...
Trump says talks with Iran start this afternoon. Iran just said: No. We’re not talking to the United States. This is the same man who keeps announcing he’s “halting strikes”… while the strikes (and the threats of bigger ones) keep coming.
1,250 Palestinians have been killed since the so-called "ceasefire," Gaza's Health Ministry says.
This is the play in every single industry at the moment. A massive bailout for mediocre white underachievers .
Jake_VigAfter a middling WNBA career, blonde haired, blue eyed Sophie Cunningham has positioned herself for post-basketball success and riches as a conservative mouthpiece. This is the pattern that always works because conservatives are very very dumb and will latch onto anyone who promotes hate.

This is banana republic stuff - we all know that, right?
Kyle GriffinFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
Hundreds gathered outside Overland City Hall to honor former residents Glendy González de la Cruz and Nixon Perez Paz. The couple was found bound and shot to death in Guatemala weeks after reuniting following his deportation.
Mourners decry Overland couple's killing in Guatemala, call for ICE accountability“We need pathways to citizenship, but a pathway to better citizenship for us all,” said Yery Castillo, a friend of the late Glendy González de la Cruz. "Citizenship that provides us access to…www.stlpr.org
this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?
David HoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
The Trump DOJ refuses to deploy the FBI to investigate any leads from the Epstein Files. Blanche has been shown unredacted documents that provide evidence to pursue and he won’t do it.
MeidasTouchPhang: "Think about what could be done if the FBI was deployed to really follow the investigative leads that have come out of even these bullshit redactions that we have in the Epstein files right now."

"We turn Elon into the meme he wants to be because laughing at a buffoon is less terrifying than admitting an unhinged oligarch holds the reins of power. Mockery can be good resistance but it can also just be a defense mechanism. It lets us treat a major power grab like a bad reality show."

Do any of these people actually spend any time running the government? I don't get how they find the time when they're doing cable news hits seventeen hours a day.
