‘We know it’s hell over there, for a young girl like Naama it’s even more critical’

Yoni Levi, Father of Naama Levy who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th, tells #i24NEWS: ‘This is totally crazy, what happened to all the humanitarian organizations? they disappeared'

On Ivy League campuses today, if you cried out “All blacks must die,” you'd be suspended & canceled.

If you cried out “All LGBTQ people must die,” you'd be suspended & canceled.

If you cried out “All Jews must die,” the university presidents will need to know about the context.

This kind of duplicity ruins masking for the rest of us.

It skews perception of maskers as being not law abiding and gives ammunition to policymakers to ban masks.

I'll never deny how I got long covid. I believed the public messaging that it would be mild for me. I didn't know about LC. I prioritized socializing over health because I was BORED. No one I knew at that point had a severe infection or bad lingering issues. I was wrong.

At today's congressional hearing on the shameful surge in campus antisemitism @RepStefanik asks: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your school's code of conduct?

President of @MIT: Something something context something something

President of @Penn: Something something context something something

President of @Harvard: Something something depending on the context

The context is that they are Jewish students. If this were any other minority group, there would be no equivocation.

Secretary Hillary Clinton’s full remarks today at the UN session led by the State of Israel on sexual and gender based violence on October 7:

“As you well know, many women and girls were attacked
brutally by Hamas on October 7th, and they have
testified to the gender based violence that
they both experienced and witnessed.

As a global community, we must respond to weaponized sexual violence wherever it happens, with absolute condemnation.

There can be no justifications and no excuses.
Rape as a weapon of war is a crime against humanity.
Such atrocities have no place in any society
or any conflict. Organizations, governments,
and individuals who are committed to a better
future for women and girls have a responsibility
to condemn all violence against women.

It is outrageous that some who claim to stand for
justice are closing their eyes and their hearts
to the victims of Hamas. But amid such inhumanity,
we can also see women leading the way forward,
As is so often the case.

I have met survivors of sexual and gender based violence all over the world. They are the ones who inspire me with their incredible courage and resolve. And I have seen first hand
that women are not just victims of war, they
are agents of peace.

That's why I championed Security Council resolutions recognizing the unique impact of conflict on women and girls
and the importance of women in peacekeeping
and security, and mandating that peacekeeping
missions protect women and girls from sexual
violence in areas of armed conflict.

You know women on both sides of the current conflict
in the Middle East have long worked for a just
and lasting peace. I have grieved with Israeli
women who have lost loved ones to terrorist
attacks, but refuse to believe that peace is impossible.

I have talked and listened to Palestinian women
who have suffered greatly from the conflicts
of the past decades, yet dream of a peaceful
future and a state of their own.

We honor all the brave women on the front lines of conflict
by lifting up their voices and bearing witness
to the crimes they have endured. I urge everyone
present to make your position clear.

We stand for the safety and equality of women always
and everywhere, from Ukraine to the Middle
East, to Sudan to the Democratic Republic of
Congo everywhere, and we unequivocally condemn
the atrocities committed by Hamas on October
7th.”

🧵I was one of the first to lend my voice to Ronan Farrow. I helped ignite the viral #MeToo movement. I founded @VOICESIN_ACTION a nonprofit supporting victims of sexual violence. I’m a mother, an actor, a feminist, a survivor & I unequivocally condemn Hamas’ terrorist acts 1/

@GailVazOxlade My mom told me she had German measles when pregnant with me. 😬 I had chicken pox around age 4 or 5. I got the MMR vaccine after my second child when a nurse said I was no longer showing immunity to rubella (German measles). I had been vaccinated as a child for measles.

[moon maiden @moon_crone]

@YoniFreedhoff It’s quite telling, isn’t it?

[moon maiden @moon_crone]

@deonandan Hmm, after my son was born a nurse said I wasn’t showing immunity to German measles anymore. I guess they test this during labour? 🤷🏼‍♀️ She insisted I get vaccinated again (as in, she was already holding the syringe, lol). So I’m guessing it was MMR and I’m good to go now? Hope so.

@markeology Think of the elements. A bath, or just washing your face. Fresh air, standing at your open door or opening a window briefly. Light a candle and watch the flame. Houseplant, for sure.

Can autism advocacy be mystical?

[Yoni Freedhoff @YoniFreedhoff]

Tremendous speech. If you can take the time to watch, especially if you are confused by current discussions of antisemitism, it's well worth your while.

[moon maiden @moon_crone]

@AutisticCallum_ Yes! I learned to make fun of myself before others had a chance, just as a way of self-preservation. “Can’t hurt me, I already thought of it!” No wonder I’m good at predicting things. I had to keep a step ahead to anticipate how I’d be treated.
