Palestine TV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague Salman Al-Bashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”

“You can’t behold evil and then return and not speak on it.”

Ta-Nehisi Coates speaks about how an experience in Palestine illuminated the connections between the African American and Palestinian liberation struggles, and the moral responsibility to speak out.

A hundred thousand people were killed by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on this day, in 1945. The following year, John Hersey wrote about how six survivors experienced the event and its aftermath. Read his landmark report, from 1946: https://t.co/XG6AvsXMcv

@TheOtherBBC @annehelen My grandfather also worked with Dr. Salk at the University of Pittsburgh as a virologist - they must have been coworkers! My aunts remember receiving test doses of the vaccine as well

It’s Holocaust Memorial Day. This year, I’m thinking of a woman called Sulamita Szapiro. Here she is as a student. We weren’t related and I don’t even know much about her, but I’m pretty sure that remembering her still falls to me. This is a thread about why.

I know it doesn't make sense to be mad at a virus, but I think it's good to keep our eye on the fact that all of this is ultimately its fault so I'm going to be mad at it anyway. Fuck that fucking piece of shit.

The US women won a silver medal in gymnastics in Tokyo today. By many standards and opinions, this will be considered a "failure." I would like to share my perspective on why this is a massive victory. @GymCastic

People think Dems are rigging the election but didn’t bother to take over the Senate?

There is a lot of Twitter chatter surrounding a rumor that circulation of #COVID19 in California in fall 2019 has resulted in herd immunity. This is empirically not the case. COVID-19 was first introduced into the USA in Jan/Feb 2020. 1/18

Anthony Fauci is a 79 year old man who runs three miles a day while saving tens of thousands of lives by managing both a pandemic and a narcissistic bully at the same time. I want him to be beloved. I want humans to sing love songs to his memory in the year 2500.

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort: Dvořák – "Going Home”

Stay safe.
