I asked actor Neil Patrick Harris about political art at #Berlinale today. He didn't want to engage and said: "I'm always interested in doing things that are apolitical".
Pandemics give rise to fascism.
Pandemics give rise to fascism.
This isn’t new. We’ve seen it before.
When people are scared & lose control it’s easier for authoritarians to seize power.
When you designate groups of people as expendable, you’re making it easy for them.
I used to volunteer at the library and they had backpacks for kids experiencing different things like the birth of a sibling, death of a loved one, first day of school, etc. And inside the backpack would be a little care package, goodies, and books that talked about the situation and addressed their emotions in a child friendly way :’)
🔴 DW Noticias del 17 de mayo: Israel, acusado de limpieza étnica tras una de las jornadas más letales en Gaza
Más de 140 palestinos murieron en 24 horas por bombardeos israelíes, según fuentes sanitarias locales, elevando a más de 300 los fallecidos desde el jueves. Israel justificó la intensificación de los ataques como parte de una fase decisiva para "cumplir todos los objetivos de guerra en Gaza". Mientras tanto, el bloqueo total a la ayuda humanitaria refuerza el temor a una hambruna. El alto comisionado de la ONU para los Derechos Humanos denunció que la ofensiva busca desplazar a la población y la equiparó a una limpieza étnica.

evidence of genocide is not ""trauma porn"" and anyone trying to convince you it's "self care" to avoid witnessing the brutal contradictions of society THAT YOU BENEFIT FROM values their bourgeois liberal sensitivities and comfort far more than ending the holocaust.
Gaza: In the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century, Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one 'safe zone' at the time. With US and European weapons. And amid the indifference of all "civilised nations".
May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of intl law.
