@michael_hoerger@amymitchellart Are the directions to just tape the filter on one side and the shroud on the other? Does anyone have directions or a video showing how?
Remembering the extraordinary and fierce Chicana scholar Catriona Rueda Esquibel (1965-2024), who passed on February 7 of a massive hemorrhagic stroke.
@RustBeltRebel I know who you are and that you have been tracking our story for so many years, from when C was blogging about my cancer. In that light, I'm just even more devastated.
The Jewish Council on Urban Affairs union calls for a ceasefire:
"We pray for the safe return of all Israeli & Palestinian hostages... The Israeli military's ongoing campaign in Gaza is denying Palestinians their rights, systematically destroying the basic requirements of life."
The ICJ ruled the genocide case against Israel should proceed. It ordered Israel to immediately cease and prevent all genocidal actions in Gaza, including the killing of Palestinians, and not to destroy evidence. Specifically, the court ordered, by a 15-2 vote, that Israel must prevent the following actions against the protected "group," which the court defined as the Palestinians of Gaza:
"(a) killing members of the group; ( b ) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and ( d ) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group."
Israel is claiming a sort of victory because it denies it is committing any genocidal acts and therefore can continue its war. That is not what the order says at all. This is an open declaration to openly defy an order from the world's top court.
Israel committed genocide. The world saw it. South Africa took action. Even the ICJ couldn’t deny what is clear as day. The West can’t say it didn’t know. The West has been complicit. The US is shipping weapons. A lot of people have blood on their hands. We need a ceasefire now.
“The entire left owes a debt of gratitude to Black and Palestinian leaders.”
For decades, Black and Palestinian organizers have actively worked to change the dark parallels between the US's treatment of Black people and Israel's policing of Palestinians. https://t.co/uBTvzBkDCG
The planet-warming emissions generated during the first two months of the war in Gaza were greater than the annual carbon footprint of more than 20 of the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations. https://t.co/4bdczIKiVC
