echoing every other adoptee i respect on this site to say that adoption is NOT an alternative to abortion they are separate decisions. as a pro-choice and pro-abortion adoptee i absolutely resent and reject being weaponized in anti-abortion arguments

[Think Global Health @ThinkGlobalHlth]

In Ukraine, some humanitarian organizations have stopped providing health care to civilians harmed in the war as U.S. cuts to foreign aid create financial instability.

The deep rooted paternalism, the white mans burden of it all - western pundits saying that Gazawis needs to be saved from Hamas, rather than settler colonial occupation, to the suggestion of adoption- the everlasting idea that the global south must be saved from its own savagery

[Alina @alinakasimovaa]

Palestinians are not asking to be saved by the west, but to be left alone, to simply exist peacefully and free of occupation, apartheid, and displacement from their historic land. And yet, westerners have the audacity to fantasize abt willfully displacing kids thru adoption

[Alina @alinakasimovaa]

sometimes the most generous thing we can do is to leave ppl alone! Keep our hands off of other people’s land and children, focus on our government and complicity, fixing ourselves.

[박주현 @hermit_hwarang]

Impossible not to think of Korean overseas adoption when I see tweets like this. 200,000 Korean children exported overseas as victims of an international trafficking scheme that began with US soldiers and missionaries “saving” kids from the destruction caused by the US in Korea

[Palestinian Youth Movement @palyouthmvmt]

Incredible scene here at Freedom Plaza right now. As speeches kick off, tens of thousands prepare to #MarchOnWashington.

In our thousands, in our millions WE ARE ALL PALESTINIAN 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

The unsaid part is: "I unconditionally support Israel, a nuclear power, in carpet bombing Gaza and will perform occasional sympathy for Palestinians but ultimately view Palestinian death as acceptable collateral damage" Fuck you Biden, Fuck the US for opposing a ceasefire

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Let me make myself clear:

The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas.

And Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.

@RepJayapal Please support the Ceasefire Now resolution. Stop genocide in Gaza

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

We must do everything we can to save lives.

@RepRashida, @RepAndreCarson, @RepSummerLee, @RepDeliaramirez, and I are introducing the #CeasefireNOW Resolution to call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Israel and Palestine.

I urge my colleagues to join us.

This is about ambience as well as the actual coffee

[Alina @alinakasimovaa]

Fuck this makes me miss seattle… but for me, The Station, La Resistencia, Eastern cafe, Kaladi Brothers, Herkimer, and hot take but monorail espresso makes the best cappuccino. Hello Em is an honorable mention if I’m feelin Viet coffee. Need to try Black Coffee when I’m back
