Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.
Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.
La responsabilidad pública también implica la obligación moral de no mirar hacia otro lado.
Es un honor otorgar la Orden del Mérito Civil a una voz que sostiene la conciencia del mundo: @FranceskAlbs, Relatora Especial de la ONU en el territorio palestino ocupado.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.
Sally Rooney: "I would like to ask my fellow writers & artists.. not to dwell too exclusively on what we stand to lose. There is another more important side to the story. To join in something greater than ourselves, to participate in.. a struggle for human liberation"

This is mostly a fact-checking internship. That means you spend most of your days reading interesting things and telling interesting people that they’re wrong. I think it’d be fun!
1/12 Bahrain is one of the gulf countries being hit with missiles, and as people follow the news, it’s important you understand the country, its context and history:
The indigenous population of Bahrain are the Baharna (بحارنة) – mostly made up of Arab Shia (it was one of the first countries to become Shia in the region in the 7th century). The Alkhalifa family (from the Bani Utbah tribe) occupied Bahrain by force in 1783 coming from Zubara (modern day Qatar) and have been ruling with violence since then. During the 2011 uprising one of the prominent chants was “go back to Zubara, your visit is over”, as the Bahrainis consider themselves occupied. This makes Bahrain the oldest ongoing occupation in the region.
