Columbia students were arrested, suspended and expelled for protesting this.

Does anyone still have doubts that Palestinians are being tortured and raped? This is how Israel treats international protestors in public. What they do to Palestinians in private is a million times worse.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Good. (And it’s antisemitic, btw, to conflate Jewish New Yorkers with Israel.)

the fact that we witnessed this in real time and yet the world is still so silent is absolutely enraging

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.

Just thought y’all should know.

A scene like this in any European or North American capital would be reported with one word as the headline.

One of the worst collateral consequences of mass production was the death of artistry and niche masters of various bespoke goods. The death of beauty.

[Sasha Meets Russia @sashameetsrus]

Now imagine if Putin had said about Ukraine what Trump is saying about Iran.

In 2004, George W Bush bombed the Iraqi city of Fallujah with white phosphorus and depleted uranium weapons. 22 years later, Fallujah has the world's highest rate of birth defects. Higher than Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the U.S. dropped atom bombs on them.

this world is filled with beautiful people and art and the capitalist-imperialist class looks at it and says "let's bomb it all for oil"

Your eyes can only see the moon in gray. It's actually covered in color, blues and oranges and pinks, all from different metals sitting in the rock. You just need a camera and some patience to pull them out.

These photos are called "mineral moons." A photographer points a telescope at the moon, takes hundreds or thousands of pictures, stacks them on top of each other to clean up the image, then slowly turns up the color intensity in editing software. The colors that show up were always there. Too faint for your eyes to catch on their own.

Each color is a different metal. The blue areas have a lot of titanium in them. The orange and brown zones have more iron. The pinkish-red patches around the edges are the oldest parts of the moon's crust, full of aluminum and calcium.

That deep blue region on the left side is called the Sea of Tranquility. Apollo 11 landed right there in July 1969. When Armstrong and Aldrin brought back 47 pounds of rock from that blue titanium zone, scientists cracked the samples open and found three minerals that had never been seen on Earth before. They named one "armalcolite" after the three astronauts (Arm-Al-Col: Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins). They named another "tranquillityite" after the landing site itself. For 40 years, tranquillityite was known as "the moon's own mineral" because nobody could find it here. Then in 2011, a geologist in Western Australia spotted a speck of it inside a billion-year-old rock.

Andrew McCarthy, a photographer in Sacramento, once stacked 150,000 separate pictures of the moon to build one color map. Each splash of blue or orange in these images is a real metal deposit on a surface that's been getting hit by space rocks for 3.5 billion years. The moon was never gray. We just couldn't see it.

This is not Al, Trump actually said this.

"We don't lose wars. Sometimes, we don't fight to win. We'll stay around a country for 15 years, just bomb the hell out of everybody, make everybody miserable.Nobody knows why we're there."

U.S. sanctions since 1979 have blocked medicines to Iran. So Iran developed its own pharmaceutical research and manufacturing to take care of the Iranian people. Now the U.S. and Israel are bombing Iran's medical research facilities and pharmaceutical factories. Pure evil.

[🎒Shailja #FreePalestine Patel @shailjapatel]

Your scheduled reminder that the U.S. bombing of Baghdad in 2003 burned Iraq's National Library and Archives, which housed all the PhD dissertations ever written by Iraqi women.
