It turns out that decolonization actually was a metaphor

Memorial to the Palestinian journalists killed by Israel, outside the White House Correspondents Dinner which is filled with the those who sponsor this slaughter and those who provide the propaganda for it.

UN Special Representative Pramila Patten states in her report that her mission viewed fully 5,000 photographs and 50 hours of footage of the October 7 attack supplied to her by the Israeli government and available in open sources. This digital evidence, from every conceivable angle and by every conceivable electronic device (bodycams, dashcams, individual cellphones, CCTV, and traffic surveillance cameras) DIDN'T YIELD ONE SINGLE IMAGE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE. The report also states that it COULDN'T LOCATE ANY FORENSIC EVIDENCE of sexual violence. The report also states that it was UNABLE TO MEET A SINGLE SURVIVOR of sexual violence on October 7. What does Patten then conclude? "There are reasonable grounds to believe that multiple incidents of rape, including gang rape, occurred." Isn't it time for UN Secretary-General Guterres to appoint a Special Representative to investigate Pramila Patten?

Don't worry, it's OK if your zipper is open, if you have a stain on your shirt, or if you say something embarrassing in a meeting.

I've already seen you be silent on a genocide.

Just found out that one of the creators of The Last of Us rooted the story in his perspective on Israel’s occupation. He grew up as a settler in the West Bank and the story is largely rooted in a settler’s perspective on the futility of “cyclical violence” and I hate it so much.

When folks say the US doesn't have the money to fix infrastructure, forgive student loans, provide universal healthcare, etc. Just remember this pic & where the $ goes

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

ENOUGH!

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Today, the US will spend more than $2 billion on war. Today.

Then again tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after…

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

That means $54,000,000,000 to Ukraine in less than 4 months.

“How will we pay for it” never seems to apply to wars, just the basic needs of the American people.

[Dr. CBS @drcbs_]

There is enough if we share (and share alike).

@gpettey @Breaking911 Even if he was appointed to a faculty position, “full professor” is a designation for the highest level of the tenure track (assistant, associate, full). It requires (a) earning tenure and (b) being promoted first to associate (5-6 year process) and then to full (5-6 more years).
