I am South African, born during Apartheid. As were my parents. We were considered 'non-white', and thus treated as inferior. We lived in separate areas, taught in separate schools, lived separate lives - separate from whites. Those that stood up against the apartheid government
Got Omarchy? I'd love to see your workstation as a reply in this thread. Even if you've already shared it. Nothing like seeing the work in the wild to motivate progress 😄
Yesterday Israel killed 135 Palestinians, 43 of them at "food aid" points.
Today Israel has killed at least 39 so far.
Don't look away. Never forget. Never forgive.
At my wits end with @JHBWater . After weeks of waiting to replace a leaking water meter, they replaced it with one that leaks more than the first! 30+ minutes on the line only to be locked of at caller number. JWAPP-40006679
Israel marks the death toll in Gaza reaching 45,000 by attacking another U.N. school-turned-shelter, killing 13 and injuring 48. https://t.co/FWNsxVjolK
Ireland stands proudly as a country against genocide.
Our stance against apartheid, illegal occupation & ethnic cleansing has led to this decision.
To present it as anything else is fundamentally dishonest, something we have come to expect from this brutal Israeli government.
For the past 435 days, I’ve seen a dead body every single day. I’ve heard the screams of parents every single day. I’ve seen the flesh of children every single day. All this horror will change you, and I will never be the same.
Despite ICC arrest warrants & the ICJ's interim ruling, the UK continues to export components for F-35 jets, facilitates arms deliveries via RAF Akrotiri & conducts daily surveillance flights over Gaza.
The UK is not a passive bystander to genocide.
It is an active participant.
European diplomats are threatening Syria, saying they won't lift sanctions unless Russia's bases are closed.
Lol.
See? It was never about Assad (and even then, sanctions are evil and hurt the people).
You give these vultures an inch they take a mile. Syria is sovereign no more
I completely agree with @MarcoTroisi that most startups can get pretty far with just @htmx_org, @honojs, the new Amazon Aurora DSQL, and a few monolithic Lambda functions. Complexity be damned! #serverless https://t.co/0qq5kWGQEa
The Israelis are armed with warplanes, guided bombs, high explosive missiles, phosphorous bombs, tanks, armoured personnel vehicles, heavy artillery.
44% of those they have killed are armed with dolls, toy cars and teddy bears.
Let that sink in.
‘Israel's advances…included the occupation of nine Syrian towns in the Golan, where Israeli forces forced inhabitants to leave their homes & move deeper into Syria’.
In accepting this the US/UK have lost all moral authority to condemn Russia in Ukraine.

The rate at which Israel is killing in Gaza has not slowed, and incredibly, the proportion killed who are children has actually increased, from 42% overall to 48% last month.
In 1988, the US Navy shot down an Iranian airliner, killing all 290 civilians on board.
Recently declassified files show how the UK government offered immediate support to the US, and assisted in the cover-up.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a finalist on TIME magazine’s shortlist for Person of the Year 2024.
The man who has an arrest warrant out for committing crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The man who said he will turn Gaza into rubble and did precisely that.
What a sick world.
Trump just appointed a man who has a long history of making wildly anti-Islam, anti-Muslim remarks to be one of the top officials at the State Department. And it won’t make any news because Islamophobia has been normalized in our media and our politics. 🤷🏽♂️ https://t.co/sAdiD40fHL
Assad was an extraordinarily ruthless leader. Now that he's on the run, he needs to be brought to justice. Here is a summary of his crimes and an outline of next steps for prosecution. https://t.co/NdV0gbe0Xc
