Israel is expanding its genocidal war to Lebanon.

It's been almost a year since Israel began its genocidal war on Gaza. To date, Israeli forces have killed over 42,000 people, and decimated nearly all of the enclave's health care facilities, educational institutions, and vital infrastructure. Unable to achieve its stated military objectives in Gaza, now Israel has turned its focus to Lebanon's Hezbollah which has maintained a Gaza support front since October 8.

After perpetrating a series of cyber terrorist attacks last week which killed dozens of people, today Israel launched a series of deadly airstrikes in southern Lebanon. According to Lebanese health officials, today Israel has killed at least 182 people and wounded 727, including women, children and paramedics.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember the Chilean poet, Communist Party member, and Senator of the Chilean Republic, Pablo Neruda.

Neruda died on a day like today in 1973, 12 days after the US-backed coup against socialist president Salvador Allende. For years, the official reason of his death was that Neruda died due to cancer complications.

However, many say that his death was not natural and that the military coup government killed him. In 2024, the investigations into his death were reopened and investigators are looking into the theory that Neruda was murdered by the Pinochet dictatorship because of his support of Allende's transformation of Chile.

At 6 pm today, the State of Missouri is set to execute Williams for a crime that he did not commit.

Marcellus Williams has maintained his innocence since the murder of Felicia Gayle in 1998. He was convicted of this crime without evidence, with the case against him resting upon two unreliable witnesses. Recently, DNA testing has confirmed that Williams’ DNA was nowhere to be found at the crime scene.

Yet despite the evidence, and despite the fact that Gayle’s family opposes the execution, Missouri Governor Mike Parson has denied clemency to Williams.

With all legal avenues exhausted in the state of Missouri, Williams and his legal team are hoping for a last-minute intervention by the United States Supreme Court.
