The richest man on Earth is sentencing kids in poor countries to death from preventable diseases, delighting in mass firings, destroying the program that keeps elderly from eating cat food and he thinks we should feel bad for him that his stock holdings are down.
APPARENTLY the fact that some 2 million people are facing death by
1 Having no drinking water
2 Starvation
3 HUGE bombs
4 Lack of medical facilities
5 Other means
IN PLAIN SIGHT,
And this is being done by an ally of UK with UK Govt's full support,
APPARENTLY this is NOT NEWS?!?!!
As we admire the cherry blossoms, gifts from Japan, remember: this country once put 125,000 Japanese Americans in concentration camps.
Today, Palestinians and their allies are being surveilled, silenced, and criminalized for speaking out.
Silencing dissent is a threat to us all.
This is how it starts.
Never again is now!
5:30pm in Harlem ICE abducts someone and a man intervenes
Be like this man. Intervene. Resist. Yell and make a scene. Record. Whatever you can do that slows them down, inspires others, and makes them hesitate to escalate. Esp if you're a white citizen
The same week that we were told that up to a million kids could die abroad because of cuts to the US aid budget here’s the official Twitter account of the GOP-led House Foreign Affairs Committee celebrating the death/killing of USAID. Hard to be more sociopathic than this.
JUST IN: Palestine Red Crescent Society says 11 more bodies have been recovered in Rafah, including six of its medics and four from Gaza’s civil defense. The eleventh victim is still being identified.
The rescue teams had responded to Israeli strikes over a week ago but lost contact after Israeli forces surrounded their vehicles and opened fire. Three PRCS medics and one civil defense worker are still missing.
Israel, which admitted firing on the ambulances, claims—without providing evidence—that Palestinian fighters were inside the ambulances and firetrucks.
Snatching an international student off our streets who is lawfully in our Country and attending one of our Universities and then bundling her off to an ICE detention center 1,700 miles away without a hearing is a sickening reminder of the Gestapo-like conduct from another age. I have asked for a full status report from ICE on the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, a legally authorized Turkish student at Tufts University. I will request her immediate return to Massachusetts.
We currently have about 80,000 foreign students attending more than 60 Colleges in the greater Boston/Cambridge area precisely because we have a reputation as a center of learning and intellectual, religious, and cultural tolerance. Let’s keep it that way.
All entry points into Gaza are closed. At the border, food is rotting. Medicine is expiring. Vital medical equipment is stuck. If the basic principles of humanitarian law still count, the international community must act to uphold them.
The top headline of one of Israel’s leading papers. It’s unimaginable that any major US outlet would have the moral courage to speak this candidly about Israel’s crimes.
