Our offices in #Gaza that manufacture medical equipment have been badly damaged by the Israeli bombing of the International Eye Hospital, which is close by. Our capabilities to manufacture tourniquets on site for the current onslaught on civilians are severely degraded.

Israel and the U.S. fostered and funded the rise of Hamas as a religious counterpoint to the secular Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). It was established in 1987 following the first intifada uprising. https://t.co/Zj9yYOopiI

This implies a serious escalation:

"The Biden administration is preparing for the possibility that hundreds of thousands of American citizens will require evacuation from the Middle East."

Palestine needs labor’s hand in solidarity. Please join me in sending an e-mail to top union leadership demanding they publicly speak out for a ceasefire. https://t.co/m2oXZBw0iW

The last thing the #HornofAfrica needs is more foreign military bases, more weapons and more European meddling. None of this benefits people there, facing climate and food insecurity - it's about EU ambitions as a superpower. God save #Africa from Europeans offering "help."

Good morning and shame on OUSD’s Josh Daniels @JoshsFeed for sending hired goons to put protesters in the hospital

[Schools & Labor Against Privatization @SLAPBayArea]

Shameful behavior by OUSD's hired goons at Parker Community School this evening against the parents and community members protesting school closures. It's our understanding they were called in by OUSD privatizer Josh Daniels @joshsfeed

Just a reminder as the Bay Area sees a spike in #COVID19 cases that most of our region's county Public Health Departments, including Alameda & Contra Costa, have decided to suspend the Public Records Act.

This kind of feeble nonsense is what we get when antiracism is reduced to policing the minutiae of wording and tone. Utter garbage.

It only takes one howl, at the right pitch, to create a moment better than all the #fireworks in the world 🐺

Sobering analysis from @EastBayTimes reporters: Black people are 7% of the Bay Area population but 27% of those killed by police, one of the larger racial disparities in the nation. Officers rarely face discipline or prosecution.

Yesterday, voters in Louisville banged on the windows of the only polling place in the county, demanding to cast a vote in the Kentucky congressional primaries as a 6 p.m. deadline to cast ballots approached.

The doors were reopened until 6:30 p.m.
