From the River to the Sea
Israel’s War on Gaza For 75 years Palestinians have been forced to live under Israeli settler colonialism and oppression in a suffocating Zionist apartheid regime. Since October 7th Israel has unleashed some of the worst violence on Gaza as a form of collective punishment for Palestinians daring to fight for their dignity and resist this occupation. As a result almost 2 million Palestinians are now refugees being forcibly removed from their homeland. Acts of Genocide Israel Occupation Forces cut Palestinians in Gaza off from food and water, electricity, and fuel. They bomb residential areas, schools and hospitals.

How to Make a CBD Infused Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Cóctel de Camarón)
This is my CBD infused spin on Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, or Cóctel de Camarón. It’s a great starter if you’re looking for something more filling than chips and salsa (but I usually make a meal out of it). The addition of CBD olive oil and hemp-infused hot sauce from Euphoria Eats make this edible cocktail a must-have item on your next party menu. While I love to serve it with lime-flavored tostones chips, plantain chips and tortilla chips are great options too. This Mexican Shrimp Cocktail is my go-to dish for Cinco de Mayo, but it can easily be enjoyed now and all summer long on your porches and patios.…
