@mattyglesias Bro just comes right out and says it: some human lives are worth more than others, based on where they are from.
Forgive the outdated term but this is a mask off bigotry moment if ever there was one.
Hamawy has won — meaning a doctor who treated the victims of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza is headed to Congress.
He refused to leave his rotation, even as Israel surrounded the hospital and cut off the water supply, until a new rotation of doctors was allowed in
@scoobthethinker@GusSaltonstall Unfortunately Darius has been incarcerated for years. You can send him mail at 140 Old Orangeburg Road, Orangeburg NJ 10962. He likes cards with photos of trains a lot!
Just found out that Take Me Out to the ballgame is actually a song about a woman who loves baseball wanting to go to a game for a date instead of a show??
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.
the siege on MN is where you really see the west bank occupation tactics on us soil.
constant militarized ice presence on the streets. illegal detentions, killing ppl trying to defend their neighbors & labeling them terrorists.
fascism is colonialism turned inward. it’s here.
Denying medical assistance is unacceptable under any circumstances.
Israel’s threat to withhold registration from MSF & other INGOs is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organisations from providing services in Gaza and the West Bank, Palestine.

The media’s continued indifference to the massive under death count of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the genocidal Netanyahu—embraced for the 5th time this year at the White House—by Dictator Trump. The total death count coming from the most intense bombardment and starvation (food, water, medicine and healthcare) of a human population in military history in the tiny enclave is not nearly 70,000. It’s about 600,000—or slightly over a quarter of the civilian population.
What other ethnic group would be treated with such indifference or ignorance or bias? Especially a devastated population, with the heaviest casualties among babies and children, by U.S.-made weapons. -R
Don’t forget about Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. It’s been over a year since he was abducted by the Israeli military. Our healthcare colleagues have been systematically attacked, killed, and abducted in Palestine.
Israel has issued a demolition notice for the Aida camp football pitch near Bethlehem, a vital space for some 500 children to train and play, and one of the few open spaces in this crowded refugee camp.
Kids found the notice at the gate in December, threatening the pitch’s removal. Voices including Ms Rachel, the high-profile children’s educator, are amplifying this crisis, urging athletes, including FIFA soccer players, and journalists to spotlight the demolition threat and stand with the Palestinian youth.
Local leaders and former Bethlehem officials say the land was legally leased and the pitch built with community support, Al Monitor reported.
🇵🇸 The last Columbia University protester still in ICE detention, Leqaa Kordia, describes conditions inside the Texas facility where she has been held for the past nine months.
KORDIA: “Right now, we’re 87 people and the capacity is 37. A lot of people are sleeping on the floor.”
“Another word for this place is a big bathroom. It’s open. Everything is open. There’s no privacy.”

A judge has twice ordered Kordia’s release. Both times, the government appealed, accusing her of supporting Hamas. Kordia has denied that in court.
She told her cousin:
“I came to America looking for freedom and freedom of speech - freedom of everything. You know what I mean? To be held here in this place for saying - free Palestine, ceasefire now - that was, kind of a shock to me 'cause that's not the America that I heard of.”
🎥 NPR shared the audio from a recent call between Kordia and her cousin, Hamzah Abushaban, who speaks to her nearly every day.
If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes.
Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.
