Summary

U.S. airstrikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen killed at least 31 and injured 101, according to the Houthi health ministry.

The strikes followed renewed Houthi attacks on shipping, which they say are in response to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

A Houthi spokesperson vowed retaliation, stating, “Our response will not be delayed.” Trump warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis, while Iran distanced itself from the group.

The conflict has disrupted Red Sea shipping, prompting the U.S. to redesignate the Houthis as a terrorist organization earlier this month.

                I mean, literally, if only. Not the dude you’re arguing with. Am another dude.

                Sure we can dream up other ways to live, and we collectively could achieve them. But for many, many people it’s simply not possible right now

                  Right now is possible, but you would have to leave your couch, it would be uncomfortable, and you’d maybe have to get your hands dirty. Let’s just Uber eats instead.

                    I grew up working class with parents on welfare living in government housing. I did, in-fact, actually have to leave my couch in order to improve my living conditions and am acutely aware of the consequences of rising rent, rising energy costs, stagnant wages, and high food prices.

                    Most of us don’t get the choice to be full time internet activists unfortunately.
