Yemen's Houthi government has indicated that of the sites US war planes bombed one was Cancer Center and another was the pharmacy wing of a major hospital.
Both obvious war crimes.
Striking these cites cause a tremendous civilian deaths while also depriving the community of important resources.
These strikes are likely in response to threats from the Houthis' to resume the full force of their shipping blockade of Israel.

#US / Discredited pro-Israel organization targets Wikipedia while ignoring its own documented bias
The ADL published a report titled "Editing for Hate" claiming 30 "bad faith" Wikipedia editors conducted a "coordinated campaign" to insert anti-Israel and pro-Hamas narratives. The ADL is demanding that #Google and other #AI companies refrain from using Wikipedia as a source until Wikipedia takes steps to combat what the ADL considers bias in its coverage of Israel.
Background
Right-wing figures are mounting a coordinated assault on #Wikipedia following #trump's reelection, with #musk calling to "defund" the site after it documented his Nazi-style salute at the inauguration, tech executives like #Perplexity's CEO demanding an "unbiased" alternative, the Heritage Foundation planning to use facial recognition and hacked data to "identify and target" volunteer editors, and the New York Post publishing an editorial citing a "bombshell report" claiming Wikipedia equates "true" with "left wing" - all part of what appears to be a strategic campaign to intimidate and undermine one of the internet's last major platforms for transparent, collaborative information that remains free from paywalls and corporate influence.
The infamously unreliable (as per the Wikipedia itself) pro-Israel Islamophobic organization whose CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, isn't bothered at all by Musk's sieg heil, has been accused of:
[…] Even though the ADL is integrated into community work on a range of issues, it has a history and ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, Arabs, and other marginalized groups, while aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence. More disturbing, it has often conducted those attacks under the banner of “civil rights.” This largely unpublicized history has come increasingly to light as activists work to make sense of the ADL’s role in condemning the Movement for Black Lives, Palestinian rights organizing, and Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar, among others.
The #Wikimedia Foundation responded that they found the ADL report "flawed" with "troubling conclusions that are not supported by the Anti-Defamation League's data":
[…] “The values of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation reflect our commitment to integrity and accuracy, and we categorically condemn antisemitism and all forms of hate. Though our preliminary review of this report finds troubling and flawed conclusions that are not supported by the Anti-Defamation League's data, we are currently undertaking a more thorough and detailed analysis. It is unfortunate that we were not asked to provide context that might have helped allay some of the concerns raised,”

Voting Midterms God New Gallup poll: 46% of Americans say #US not doing enough to help 
Ukraine against Russia’s war, marking a 16% increase since December to new high that dates back to 2022. At same time, proportions thinking US is doing too much (30%) or the right amount (23%) for Ukraine shrunk.
"AT FIRST WE WERE AFRAID, WE WERE PETRIFIED
KEPT THINKING WE COULD NEVER LIVE WITHOUT YOU BY OUR SIDE
AND WE SPENT SO MANY NIGHTS THINKING HOW YOU DID US WRONG
NOW WE'VE BANDED ALL TOGETHER, YOUR TARIFF MADE US STRONG
AND SO YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT SO GREAT
THERE'S NOT A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL WE'LL BE YOUR 51ST STATE."

And now the #bigotry in charge has blotted their contributions
Their webpages are now 404, and the URL renamed with "#DEI"
This stupidity and hate will not end. And will turn worse

American politics literally devolved into a "Hello I am a technician from microsoft I'm calling you because we found a hacker in your computer let me install this trustworthy software that gives us full control of your system to fix it" type scam.
Speak: "Hello I am the lap doge of the president of america we have detected fraud in your government let us install these trustworthy people that have full, unchecked control of the entire system to fix it."

#US / Columbia Journalism School Faculty condemns Press Freedom threats, including detention of Gaza Genocide critics
Columbia Journalism School faculty have issued a statement warning that press freedom in America is under threat, citing the detention without charges of graduate Mahmoud Khalil, deportation attempts against Palestinian journalist Mosab Abu Toha who reported on Gaza, and the administration's aggressive use of libel lawsuits against media organizations including #CBS, the #Pulitzer committee, and the Des Moines Register.
These actions create a climate of fear for 13 million green card holders and over one million international students who may now self-censor, alongside concerning developments like the Washington Post limiting editorial content and the administration hand-picking journalists for White House access.
The faculty calls for steadfast opposition to the intimidation, harassment, and detention of individuals based on their speech or journalism to protect First Amendment principles essential to democracy.
