In loving memory of the children in this video, cold-bloodedly murdered by Israel. They are among the approximately 22000 children Israel has slaughtered in about two year.
The #Nakba was never a moment frozen in history—it is a continuing reality of killing, displacement, siege, occupation, & exile.
But memory does not die. Keys are still kept. Names are still remembered. And a people who carry their homeland in their hearts will never disappear.
Tennessee republicans voted unanimously to advance an anti-trans bill to create a public list of trans people located in the state.
House Bill 754 would force medical providers to provide information to the state and identify them.

The United States of America and Israel has just bombed a school full of students in Iran.
~40 students killed and 48 injured.
This violates Article 52 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to the U.S. and Israel.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
This is Gaza, almost completely destroyed—nearly all civilian structures have been levelled to the ground.
Palestine is the most well-documented genocide in history, yet the most denied.
Since Punch has renewed global empathy for baby monkeys:
Indonesia has an industry where people pay to watch baby monkeys get tortured online. Not even tortured to dance or perform. But painfully tortured to death out of sadism.
The footage too gruesome to show. Indonesians pay millions each year to watch baby monkeys drown or be cut open alive online. Some have their hands tied with ants poured on their eyes.
The Indonesian government does not enforce any laws against these torturers. This is despite the macaques monkeys being protected animals under the CITES convention.
Like Punch, all the tortured monkeys are young macaques.
I don't usually post this stuff, I usually post about history and culture. I like showing people the beautiful parts of our world. But I don't feel like I will have another chance to let people know about this, so I will post this knowing that I have a clean conscience.
I hope an effort can be made to put pressure on the Indonesian government and people to enforce CITES and international law protecting endangered animals.
