1/5 We are extremely concerned over the fate & wellbeing of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital who was detained by Israeli forces along with others during a raid on the hospital on 27 December. He must be released immediately and unconditionally.
The problem is not the H-1B guest worker from India or the tomato picker from Guatemala. The problem is the oligarchs who became billionaires by exploiting workers, suppressing wages & shipping jobs abroad. Billionaires want you to wage a culture war while they win the class war.
I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.
Save the Children is devastated & outraged at the killing of staff member Ahmad Faisal Isleem Al-Qadi in an Israeli airstrike in #Gaza. Our 2nd colleague killed in Gaza. “We condemn this attack in the strongest terms & demand an investigation,” CEO Inger Ashing @Save_Children
When a woman is diagnosed with cancer, one of the many things her oncologist must explain is that her husband will probably leave her.
Now it seems that a woman is lucky if her partner simply leaves, instead of “putting her out of her misery.”
The quotes below are sickening. They were made by judges to men who “mercy killed” their wives. All 12 were given suspended sentences, btw; the judges were falling all over themselves trying to excuse these men for violently murdering sick and disabled women who wouldn’t have stood a chance even had they been healthy.
And men wonder why we’d choose the bear.
The Hand of Genocide.
This is the reality.
The US Ambassador Robert Wood vetoes a @UN Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Robert Wood has raised his hand on behalf of genocide repeatedly. What must it feel like to lie in bed at night and know that you have sanctioned the further murder of thousands till the next resolution comes for you to put your hand up.
This is the hand of genocide.
Responding to the US Veto, Ambassador Majed Bamya tells the US Ambassador: “Maybe for some we have the wrong nationality, the wrong faith, the wrong skin color. But we are humans and we should be treated as such.”
