Amazon: Stop censoring LGBT+ books! @amazon is blocking vital LGBT+ resources in some regions, silencing voices & denying access to critical stories. 🖊️ Sign the petition now to demand change! Together, we can stop this harmful practice. https://t.co/PJPThxUiUP

Biggest causes of learning loss in the USA:
-homelessness
-childhood hunger
-parental chronic illness + lack of healthcare access
-medical bankruptcy
-poor labor conditions resulting in multiple parental jobs & limited time home with kids

Spare me disingenuous pandemic concern.

William Schabas, author of the 741-page textbook, "Genocide in International Law" - says it's a genocide in Gaza.

John Quigley, author of the 300-page book, "The Genocide Convention: An International Law Analysis" - says it's a genocide in Gaza.

@martinshawx, author of the books "What is Genocide?" and "War and Genocide" - says it's a genocide.

@dirkmoses, author of the 600-page book, "The Problems of Genocide" - says it's a genocide in Gaza.

Raz Segal, author of "Genocide in the Carpathians" - says it's a genocide in Gaza.

Amos Goldberg, author of books on Holocaust, says it's a genocide in Gaza

@bartov_omer, author of several books on Holocaust and genocide, says it's a genocide in Gaza.

@FranceskAlbs submitted two well argued reports on genocide to the UN.

@amnesty wrote a 300 page report concluding it is a genocide in Gaza.

@hrw wrote a 200 page report concluding it is extermination and genocidal.

But why to listen to the experts in law and genocide studies? Why to bother to read the extensive human rights reports?

Listen to @piersmorgan instead; he has a gut feeling.

Absolutely appalling. Israel has struck a Lebanese civil defense center near Baalbek tonight, killing at least 12 rescuers. The center’s chief, Bilal Raad, is still under the rubble.
HRW has denounced Israel’s repeated attacks on medics in Lebanon as “apparent war crimes”.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

Here is the photo of the victims from yesterday’s school massacre in Gaza, carried out by Israel, in which 12 Palestinian civilians were killed.

On the anniversary of genocide, security or facilities took down all posters calling for ceasefire and showing solidarity with Palestinians tho they’ve somehow left other posters up like the slice of watermelon one. I thought Edinburgh University was big on Academic Freedom? 🤡

[🇵🇸Sara☭ @SADCommie1]

1/8 @EdinburghUni has cancelled (for the 2nd time) a room booking I made for members and supporters of @revcommunists on campus to discuss the war on Gaza/Lebanon and how to resist imperialism today. This is politically motivated and is an attack on students' freedom of speech!
