More photos from my trip up to the @baseballhall Induction this year. Included here are Hall of Famers Dave Winfield, Tony Oliva, Roland "Rollie" Fingers, and George Brett. (I'll live the rest of my life knowing I peaked with the luck of that Oliva shot).
I went to the @baseballhall Induction weekend this year and took a ton of photos (that I've slacked on posting and am now trying to rectify). Here are a few of the former @RedSox that were in attendance at the Parade of Legends.
I’ve been in four wars, as a soldier or reporter, and seen a lot of atrocities and abuses. But dressing up in the clothes of the women and girls you’ve killed or displaced is a sick and twisted practice wholly unique to the murderous perverts of the Israeli army.
Palestinians didn’t “leave” in 1948. You “leave” a restaurant.
We weren’t “displaced.” You can be “displaced” by a hurricane.
We didn’t “flee.” A criminal “flees.”
We were expelled for being the wrong kind of people. There’s a specific name for that:
Ethnic Cleansing.
Use the right words.
Burmese genocide scholar returning from Palestine & Israel: "I've never seen a situation where genocidal paradigm or policies and practices are so creatively pursued and so total. What I've discovered there is what I would call a vast ecosystem of genocidal methodologies."
@CitiField@ATEEZofficial The longer it takes the postpone/cancel this evening, the more infrequently the trains begin to run. It's past the point of mitigating peoples' disappointment, but not too late to mitigate logistical disasters for everyone trying to get back home/to lodging.
I get that flights get canceled and have to be rebooked, but it's absolutely predatory of @united to make you pay AGAIN for your seat upgrade (twice) & checked bag and charge EVEN MORE FOR THEM. Transportation is a mess, and it's unconscionable to further exploit consumers.
You might have noticed fewer videos & posts by Gazans on the atrocities happening right now from the Israel Defense Forces. It's because so many journalists & everyday people are dying.
Stay focused and don't look away

Important to remember the horrific war crimes in Gaza aren’t being done by “the Jews” but rather by a particular murderous right wing Israeli administration. Many brave Jews in Israel & abroad condemn the slaughter. Our fight is against oppression. No room for antisemitism.
Hobey Baker was America's first hockey star and a heroic WWI fighter pilot.
What’s lesser known is his love for another man and the struggles he endured in the early 20th century.
Listen to "Searching for Hobey Baker" now wherever you get your podcasts.
Season 2 of We Are Lady Parts is a tour de force. This show and the dearly departed Reservation Dogs seem like spiritual twins in representing the humor, heart, and sometimes anguish of marginalized cultures that don't get showcased nearly enough in film/television.
I survived the Bosnian Genocide and then went on to spend 15 years collecting testimonials and researching those horrors and that of other genocides too.
& I can unequivocally say that what I am seeing come out of Gaza is some of the worst horrors I’ve seen.
BREAKING: Belgian TV channel interrupts Eurovision to address Israel’s genocide:
“This is a union action. We condemn the human rights violations committed by Israel. Additionally, Israel is destroying press freedom. That is why we are pausing the broadcast for a moment.”

Incidentally if anyone's interested Macklemore's "Hind's Hall" is laid over samples from Fairuz' "Ana la habeebi wa habeebi il" (I belong to my love and my love belongs to me) which you should all listen to & which makes me cry
