Every time someone throws up their hands & says "we have to learn to live with Covid," I think about how humans managed to shrink the damn hole in the ozone layer with international collaboration
I agree with @ALTERforATX. I was on City Council when the enormous rape kit backlog was uncovered publicly.
It was a major APD leadership failure. Only because of the painful and relentless advocacy of survivors did things begin to change.
The exact moment in which your brain makes a memory. Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine developed a mouse model in which molecules crucial to making memories (beta-actin mRNA) were given fluorescent "tags" so they could be tracked. This clip shows them traveling within a live brain cell in real time.
Who else remembers being against the iraq war and people being like oh wow so you dont SUPPORT OUR TROOPS?!?! And then having the most dumb conversation about being anti american when you were just anti killing innocent people. Anyway this feels like that.
No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.

A Black woman in Mississippi reported her son missing and went 7 months with police telling her they couldn’t find him.
She sent them photos, begged for updates, and implored them to put his story on the news.
It turns out they knew where he was all along. An hour after he left his house he was struck and killed on the highway by an off duty police officer.
They hid his body in the morgue for months without ever notifying his family despite there being a prescription bottle with his name on it found at the scene.
Then they buried him in a pauper’s field with nothing but a number identifying him as corpse # “672”.

Thank you for joining me in the push for a #CeasefireNOW.
US vetoes Security Council resolution that would have called for “humanitarian pauses” to deliver lifesaving aid to millions in Gaza
Favor: 12 (Albania, Brazil, China, Ecuador, France, Gabon, Ghana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Switzerland,UAE)
Against: 1 (US)
Abstain: 2 Russia, UK
Half the population of Gaza is children. Israel flattening entire city blocks right now. You are delusional if you believe these strikes are only against Hamas.
48 states allow convicted sex offenders and child abusers to homeschool children. If you're convicted of a crime that would stop you from teaching in a public school, you shouldn't be allowed to homeschool, either. This is why we must #MakeHomeschoolSafe. https://t.co/TgymR2THFI
You win zero points for not getting an epidural. (Clearly, if you DON'T one that should be respected too.) Why is childbirth the only medical procedure where we valorize pain? It's so ludicrous and we need to stop perpetuating this nonsense.
Gaza’s 2+ million population are mostly children, who live under blockade in what Israel’s own former intelligence chief has called an open air prison.
The overwhelming majority live in poverty.
Many suffer lifelong psychological and physical trauma. 🧵https://t.co/cu36UZ0hTp
