At least 1,900 children under 5 have died from malnutrition in Ethiopia’s Tigray region in the past year, says a study conducted by regional health officials.
The true number of child deaths is likely higher, a doctor involved in the study said. https://t.co/M9mSzhRGfD

It’s time the Senate passed the MORE Act, removing cannabis from the list of Schedule 1 substances, eliminating related criminal penalties, and taking several other major steps toward criminal justice reform, social justice, and economic development

@SorayaMcDonald @GovKathyHochul This is completely insane. We’ve lost our minds

Decidedly disappointed in the Progressive Caucus for endorsing a proponent of Israeli apartheid instead of Nina Turner, a true social justice warrior. 74 years of Palestinian anguish, paid for by American tax payers at the behest of Congress #ProgressiveExceptPalestine

[Iymen Chehade @IymenChehade]

@PramilaJayapal Really disappointed that the Progressive Caucus, under your leadership, decided to endorse a proponent of Israeli apartheid instead of Nina Turner, a true social justice warrior. Does no one in Washington have a soul?

@SecBlinken Our commitment is to apartheid and it needs to stop

[Iymen Chehade @IymenChehade]

The news cycle around Palestine these past weeks has been heart-breaking. Arbitrary shootings of unarmed civilians, an attack on worshippers at Friday prayer, and now Israeli warplanes bombing the open air prison that is Gaza. Our tax dollars fund ethnic cleansing and apartheid.
