So Israel broke the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, as I knew they would. It's not like the US has ever held them accountable, and now it's even worse with Trump blathering about deporting all Palestinians so he can do his obscene resort idea. I expect Russia will do the same in Ukraine, so I hope the EU's forces will be able to mobilize in time. Canada probably will align with Europe to to counteract the chaos in America
Meanwhile, Unilever fired Ben & Jerry's CEO, which is the latest blow in their many disputes over Ben & Jerry's pro-Palestinian stance. I hadn't eaten Ben & Jerry's ice cream since their brand was bought out, but this is just blatantly politically motivated interference. So I'll be boycotting more of Unilever's brands. I've already been avoiding lots of corporate brands in my search for palm-oil free products, so this will just involve me being more careful to check for the Unilever logo on the back of things in the grocery store. Thankfully I found new alternatives for bar soap since Ethique discontinued some of their products.
I hope more protests and boycotts will make Trump and Musk back down on things. It's disgusting how they're targeting trans folks and immigrants. My family are immigrants too, and things are getting ugly and dangerous.
