Great to see that politicians who have openly opposed genocide funded and armed by the US, have been re-elected in the US. Supporting an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel is politically favourable.

The museums that hold Nepal's gods and goddesses as 'art' use 'tactics of delay' to try and wear down restitution activists. The latest in a BBC series on loot of our heritage by Sanjaya Dhakal @sandhakal.

@JaneyGodley Wishing you all the love and comfort - what a tremendous loss. I will remember her fondly.

British television shows me I am not alone in my fantasy of triumphantly solving a logic puzzle before a rapt audience.

@MoiraDonegan Moira, I saw The Wild Robot last night after reading your review and I'm positive it influenced the way I saw the film's framing of motherhood. I'd be really curious what you think of it.

[Margaret Middleton @magmidd]

Great review - struck by this quote from the book: “How would ideas endure without anyone to examine, share, and transmit them?”

Not even hiding the fact that they see women as consumer producers.

[Moira Donegan @MoiraDonegan]

In the new @bookforum, I wrote about pro-natalism, the liberals who love it, and the rise of the childless woman as a symbol of decadence & object of contempt that stands in for a meaningful reckoning with motherhood's contradictions. https://t.co/i3DbmqAwAm

The reason the headline sounds like a plot of a film is because it's a fictional headline

The archaeologists targeted the region for intensive lidar survey and located a site. That's not an accident, that's standard research. And I'd bet locals knew about it too

Yesterday we launched the largest cultural boycott of complicit Israeli institutions in history. Sign, but also consider organising with us! 💖

[Carlos Azevedo @cprazevedo]

Many of us focus on Palestinian children—and to a lesser extent Palestinian women—but Palestinian men have been dehumanised like no other group in Palestine. They have been killed, detained, tortured, raped, and treated like terrorists. It's beyond horrifying.

This city is more than 3,000 years old. Yesterday they blew up a mosque whose foundation stones were laid in the 8th century.

eight years ago hillary clinton, yes THAT HILLARY, was able to bring out a gold star family, a muslim american family, to talk about trump's disrespect of muslim americans and soldiers. yet this campaign has failed to even platform any prominent muslim voices. pathetic and cruel.
