“Black lives matter” and “i stand with israel” are two things that can’t coexist. and no it isn’t that complicated. give them people they damn land back
Palestinians “attack” and “die”, but Israelis “retaliate” and are “killed”.
The hatred and racism of the BBC and other mainstream media is fully out in the open.
Palestinians are jailed for writing poems. Palestinians are shot for being journalists. Palestinians are beaten for farming their land. Palestinians are hunted and targeted and abused and executed and never are allowed to have a breath in peace. THAT is today's context.
Warning civilians to flee -- particularly when they have absolutely no where to go -- does not absolve a party from complying with the ban on deliberately or indiscriminately targeting civilians.
Israel has often used on these types of pretend warnings to justify massive bombardment of civilian areas resulting in huge civilian casualties in Gaza and Lebanon.

"If Palestinians stopped doing x, Israel would..."
Continue to occupy Gaza
Continue to expand illegal settlements
Continue to facilitate apartheid
Continue to beat, torture, maim and murder Palestinians
Whether or not Palestinians respond to Israeli oppression, it continues
Relationships aren't fairy tales.
We've been conditioned to believe that relationships should be easy.
They aren't.
Any close relationship will challenge you, trigger you, and they will require you to have uncomfortable conversations on a consistent basis.
Fairy tales sounds good, because all of us have a younger part of ourselves that wants to be rescued from life as we know it. This isn't our partner's job.
The true appreciation, respect, and mutual growth comes from getting doing hard things together.
AI is the future.
Master it now, and you'll be miles ahead of the world.

@eminietfeld Hi! Same-sex female couple here using a surrogate after many failed ivfs! I’m inducing lactation and plan to breastfeed our daughter. Would love to chat more about struggles same-sex women can have and choices we have to make.
🖤 Mursal Nabizada, woman parliamentarian in #Afghanistan, was brutally killed alongside her bodyguard in her home, in #Kabul.
I am sad and angry and want the world to know! She was killed in darkness, but the #Taleban build their system of Gender Apartheid in full daylight.
The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson
All of Canada needs to stop what they are doing, spare a thought for the child whose jawbone was found on the grounds of the Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School in Lebret, Saskatchewan. Bone is about 125 years old, Sask coroner says. Child was btwn 4 to 6 years. @fsinations
FOUND CHILD: Deputies located a child near the 12400 block of Admiralty Way in south Everett. He is non verbal and deputies have checked all the nearby schools with no luck. If you can identify him please call 911.
grief never goes away. the loss of someone’s presence simply becomes easier to accept with time. just because you accept this loss, it doesn’t mean it hurts less. things will remind you of them - it’s okay to cry or feel sad no matter how long it’s been.
BREAKING: Ohio Governor Mike Dewine just signed a massive voter suppression law that would enact stricter ID laws, slash the period of early voting, and restrict voting drop boxes. Anyone who cares about democracy should be outraged. This is why state elections matter.
People who are estranged from abusive family members face so much stigma and judgement. Family doesn’t mean allowing abuse. If you’ve had to make the heart wrenching decision to choose yourself, it’s an act of courage. Even if others don’t understand.
McCarthy just agreed to a deal with far right insurrectionists that would hold the entire US and global economy hostage to extreme cuts to everything from housing to education, healthcare, Social Security and Medicare.
Hard to overstate how dangerous this is.
