true story: Ratko Mladić's own war time diary was used as evidence in his war crimes tribunal. In it, he wrote of the arms and training supplied by Israel to Serbia AFTER the international arms embargo, during the genocide, shortly before the Srebrenica massacre.

Journalists, international investigators, and human rights organizations documented extensive physical and circumstantial proof on the ground, which heavily corroborated the transactions hinted at in Ratko Mladić’s diary. They recovered spent artillery shells, mortar rounds, and specialized ammunition with distinct Hebrew inscriptions, found at Serb military positions surrounding besieged Bosnian cities, including Sarajevo.

When human rights lawyer Eitay Mack tried to petition to the court to declassify Israeli archives to ascertain the extent of the weapons transfers, Israel's High Court refused, claiming that the truth could damage Israel's reputation.

nah he's very American bc he's too stupid to learn how to pronounce his own name

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

a country that doesn’t punish this kind of behavior must be punished itself- weapons embargo and bds are the floor btw. meanwhile in the western world, the only people who get punished are those who call this evil out.

Fact: He traveled there for his cooking show & when they tried to block this one episode, he said he would pull his entire show from the network & this was the first time the world ever saw behind the walls in Gaza 2013

This is literally insane???

[FezBosniak @BosniakFez]

The “Bosnian War” officially started on 6 April 1992. It lasted until 14 December 1995. The Bosnian War claimed almost 101,000 lives, most of them Bosniaks. Moreover, it marked Europe's first genocide post-World War II, committed by Serb forces. Never again!

I’m so used to US politicians pretending to be powerless that this feels like a headline from another universe

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.

A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.

Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.

Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

if in a time of war, what ‘wakes you up’ is inflation and not the loss of thousands of lives, you are still well asleep and ethically dead

Do any Americans know the US overthrew Iran’s democratically elected PM in 1953? Does anyone know the US shot down an Iranian passenger plane murdering 300 civilians in 1988? Can they define sanctions? Do they even know people in other countries have thoughts, dreams, and lives?

The fact that people need a dead man's files to believe a thousand living women... tells you everything about whose voices they don't.

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.

Liberals would’ve advocated for slaves to be treated better, not for slavery to end.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani gives a shout out to ‘Heated Rivalry’ during his latest snow update:

“I can think of no better excuse for New Yorkers to stay home, take a long nap or take advantage of our public library's offer of free access to Heated Rivalry.”

*this* should be the breaking point for this country. but so should've the last one. and the one before that. and the one before that.

the entire democratic leadership is silent on the day minnesota workers strike, with over 80+ unions endorsing the action. haven’t heard a single thing from them, wonder why

[Darkwoke Duck @DylanTweetin]

one general strike in one city is worth more than every no kings protest ever collectively
