.@UNICEF’s @1james_elder has returned from Northern #Gaza. There, he met a newly orphaned boy who kept closing his eyes..

“He was just so terrified he's going to forget what his mum and his dad look like. So he wants to keep picturing them…”

(Contains distressing details).

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

“Today, I didn’t speak to a single person who hasn’t lost a loved one.”

UNICEF spokesperson, @1james_elder, reflects on the children and families he met in Gaza recently.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

“Nowhere is safe in Gaza and nowhere will be safe until this humanitarian pause is turned into a lasting ceasefire.”

UNICEF spokesperson, @1james_elder, from Gaza.

Our teams on the ground are doing everything they can to deliver life-saving supplies. UNICEF continues to call for a humanitarian ceasefire and protection of aid workers—and the children and families they serve.

If Colony did not exist there would be 0 deaths in Police Custody. Instead there's thousand of unfullfilled lives cut short. Severed Songlines. Broken families left to deal with wounds they should never have had to know.

Capitalism is when a vaccine to a deadly pandemic exists but we can’t create or distribute enough of it because two pharmaceutical conglomerates refuse to lose out on shareholder profits by sharing the patent information.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Black and Latinx people have seen much higher infections and deaths from COVID-19 and are now getting vaccinated at much lower rates than white people. "It's quite simple. What we're seeing illustrated is about 150 years of medical neglect," says @DavidHayesBauti of @UCLAHealth.

[Senator Briggs (Biblically Accurate) @Briggs]

Remember when @ScottMorrisonMP took a holiday while the country was literally ON FIRE? And one of his arguments was “a Dad made a promise to his kids”. And he thought it would disarm everyone with his 7th Heaven Hillsong moment? But everyone was like “this cunt?”.

[Senator Briggs (Biblically Accurate) @Briggs]

.@ScottMorrisonMP First fleet argument equates to “Yeah I punched you in the face but I broke my knuckle. Call it even?”
