@TheAmandaGorman eloquently captures the heartbreak of this ‘victory’. The fact that it took this long, that the veridict wasn’t guaranteed & that the black community continues to bear this trauma is gut-wrenching. The fight on white supremacy, racism, and injustice continues✊🏽❤️

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

A reminder that victory would be George Floyd being alive. Every day Black Americans worry if they will be next is another day without justice.

I grew up being told “the older you get, the more conservative you become.”

I’m finding that the older I get, the more I just want our society to be more tolerant, charitable, kind, peaceable, and ensure that everyone has what they need to survive and thrive.

BREAKING!!!!
Israel is bombing Gaza again!
Will anyone stop these maniacs?
Where are the ministers and heads of state who were celebrating “peace” just last week?

This Banksy, which appeared overnight on the side of the Royal Courts of Justice building in London, is extremely powerful.

Mariam Dagga, killed by Israel today, was an incredibly talented photographer. She relentlessly and courageously documented the genocide. I'm going to share some of her images. Graphic content included.

A stolen service and support dog has been safely reunited with his blind human after more than two months. Bam Bam, a 14-year-old dachshund, was taken from Angel Santiago's Chicago yard the night of June 5. Santiago had let Bam Bam out to potty when he heard two men enter his yard through the gate. He tried to stop them and was able to grab one of the suspects, but they got away with his beloved companion. Bam Bam's human never gave up searching for him, walking seven miles a day and posting flyers that captured the city's attention. "Let your eyes be mine and look out for Bam Bam for me please," Santiago pleaded on the news. Last night, an unidentified man and woman dropped Bam Bam off at Chicago's 16th Police District station, and microchip data linked him back to Santiago, who was able to pick him up at 9:30pm. The police investigation into Bam Bam's theft is ongoing, but for now Santiago is thrilled to have him home. “The entire city has been searching for this dog,” said John Garrido, a former police officer who runs a rescue foundation and was helping facilitate Bam Bam's return. “He is safe and sound. … I am told it was a happy reunion.” 14/10 welcome home Bam Bam

I'm gravely alarmed by the decision of the Israeli Government to "take control of Gaza City".

This marks a dangerous escalation & risks deepening the already catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians.

It could further endanger more lives, including of the remaining hostages.

I reiterate my urgent appeal for a permanent ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access across Gaza & the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages.

@DrNeenaJha Let's continue.
Breathe through the pain and continue to pressure for a real and sustainable change.

Israel is starving all of Gaza and there isn’t even a whisper from the media. If you refuse to report crimes against humanity, you are complicit in them.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

More journalists killed in Gaza than World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam, Yugoslavia & Afghanistan combined

Before his death, Pope Francis donated the popemobile to be turned into a mobile clinic to help Palestinian children in Gaza.

Israel won’t even let that enter Gaza.

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

The murder of a journalist in a hospital bed is a double war crime that ought really to be a news story - and of particular concern to journalists.

As far as I can see - not a squeak in western media.

In Australia, the captain of this football team went into the stands after his team won the championship to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together.

Pope Leo XIV calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Rough day for some American Catholics, who no longer have an excuse for not understanding what the Pope says about caring for the poor, the imprisoned, and migrants.
