Gen Z talks about inflation, but in the year 2000, you could buy a fully self-contained arcology and house 65,000 people for just for $200k.

@Ahmed_hassan_za What kind of reporting is "some have said that was joining the IDF". Don't spread misinformation. You should take down fake tweets immediately if you care about the truth.

@Ahmed_hassan_za Middle Eastern Monitor reports that he was simply an economically marginalized autorickshaw driver trying to find work. "He and one of his companions, named Edison, had reportedly been promised jobs in Israel with a monthly salary of 350,000 Indian rupees ($4,011)"

[Asim Jaweed @mjaweed]

@Ahmed_hassan_za ".by another fellow Indian working in Jordan.

Having been autorickshaw drivers back in India, Perera and Edison reportedly paid that fellow Indian 210,000 rupees ($2,406) upfront..." https://t.co/ERvGZmXuO7

.@SenSanders Every hour that passes, more Palestinian children and families are killed by Israel. We are witnessing a genocide. What will it take for you to call for a ceasefire? #CeasefireNOW #LetGazaLive

[AJ+ @ajplus]

What does Israel's occupation of Palestinians look like?

This former Israeli soldier told @dena how the Israeli army controls every aspect of Palestinians' lives.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Keep this map in mind when the Israeli occupation claims "self-defense".

The Myanmar generals got away with large-scale murder, rape & arson against Rohingya Muslims. Lesson learned. They now turn to the rest of the people of Myanmar, trying to crush their desire for democracy. It's time the world really ends this criminality. https://t.co/kxkZ38QHKp

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The Myanmar junta is making a big mistaking thinking it can crush pro-democracy protesters in the shadows the way it did in 1988. Back then, people didn't have smart phones and social media to beam the military's outrages to the entire word. https://t.co/WeUeNSO6bo

There’s no word to describe current situation on the ground in Yangon. It’s simply “battle field.” I’m now breathing smokes of tear gas. #MilkTeaAllianceMyanmar

I think it's fair to say humanity took a bit of a beating in 2020, but one month into 2021 there are signs of a fightback.

It took a year to reach 100 million confirmed cases worldwide. It's taken six weeks to give out 100 million doses of the vaccine.

I've been trying to reconcile the grave story I see online with the relatively muted response I see outside on the street in #Myanmar. Since everybody on twitter gets one hot take, here's mine 👇

Myanmar has been in a democratic transition since 2008 (or 2003 by another count),
