for months Israeli forces have tested the waters of international outrage by bombing refugee camps. Today they carried out the biggest massacre yet confident in the lack of an international response

Largest loss of life of @UN aid workers in less than 4 week - 72 @UNRWA staff killed in Gaza, the latest of whom is Mai, who overcame muscular dystrophy challenge, scored 98% in high school examinations (Tawjihi) & became web developer for UNRWA. We honour them & their service 💔

Never again meant everyone.

I don’t give a damn how much Afghan refugees may or may not contribute, how entrepreneurial they are, or whether they’ll come to love America. Our doors must be open to them. They are intrinsically worthy, they are in terrible danger, and we are directly responsible. Full stop.

America can literally do one thing at this very moment to make a difference and save lives

*evacuate as many at-risk activists, women, civ society leaders on military planes*

To the couple who just ordered Wawa delivery to your paddle board on the Potomac, what did you order? Is this your first time grabbing a delivery with a paddle? I gotta know @PoPville

Today, as I was sworn in, I held in my jacket pocket copies of the ships’ manifests recorded at Ellis Island when my Great Grandfather Israel arrived in 1911 and my Great Grandmother Annie arrived in 1913.

A century later, their great grandson was elected to the U.S. Senate.

The election weekend anthem the people needed 🙏 sending this baby out on alllll the WhatsApp group chats

[Reza H. Akbari @rezahakbari]

In a satirical song, Iranians ask Americans to take the election seriously as it may have more of an impact on their lives than U.S. citizens. “Hey, Joseph, Thomas, Laura! We don’t know why, but your vote affects us more than you.” #Iran #2020Elections

if this wasn't covid times there would be some lame bar in dc screening both town halls on projectors like a warhol movie and people would tweet about it

[Stacy Hubert @stacy_hubert]

Too good

[Stacy Hubert @stacy_hubert]

@thekarami Sounds about right. Growing up my mom would talk about burial plots and possibility/probability of infrequent cemetery visits as dinner convo

[Stacy Hubert @stacy_hubert]

@thekarami Iranian mom guilt is uncomfortable and relentless but Jewish mother guilt is... morbid

mom we made it

I had a weird moody phase as a 7th grader when I got really into Goya's black paintings and also Edgar Allan Poe. Anyway the bleakness of our current moment + this take on Goya is *chef's kiss*
