Only here to keep up with the world. I mostly retweet stuff since I don't have anything to say of substance.
(Occasionally I rr about work to myself here)
It’s honestly heartbreaking how much we’ve failed as a nation. We don’t feel the pain until we’re the ones getting hit. 300–400 lives lost in floods, yet no one’s talking about it - no celebrity, no public figure raising awareness or sharing donation links, very selfish tbvh.
German twitter falling over itself this weekend praising Israel for doing things Germans used to enjoy but aren't allowed to do any more. For many Germans, solidarity with Israel is just a projection of their own secret nationalism. It has little to do with real people out there
The thing that is so deeply admirable about Greta Thunberg is that she possesses this remarkable ability to make people three times her age psychotically, violently mad. And it’s largely because of an unwavering commitment to saving this planet and the people on it.
🚨BREAKING: Israel has kidnapped the entire crew of the Madleen humanitarian vessel, including 6 French nationals. Among them is @RimaHas,a Member of the European Parliament.
The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces while carrying aid to Gaza.
i’m sorry the apartheid ethno religious supremacist settler colony you want to defend so bad is doing a livestreamed genocide of mostly women and children which can be often repulsive to people with a conscience. no one think you’re a victim in this.
zohran's platform, including and beyond this plan, is the only one among the mayoral frontrunners that would make me feel safer (or safe at all) in our city as someone whose life was irrevocably altered by violent crime in new york when i lost my partner to murder
I haven’t been able to get these images of Mohammad Abu Tawila’s torture ridden body out of head since I first saw these images. And he’s just one of countless who’ve emerged from Israeli captivity with scars of brutal torture across their bodies.
Calling them prisons is an obfuscation of they functionally and intentionally are: torture camps.
