Gold is on a record-hitting spree. Since 2000, it’s up nearly 1,000% — double the S&P 500’s returns.💡 When trust in the system wavers, gold doesn’t blink. #TrumpTariffs

For the first time, BlackRock recommends investing 2% of your portfolio in Bitcoin.
With all the hype around crypto right now, do you think 2% is sufficient? 🤔

Tesla hit $420… now what?

The $TSLA rally seems like a car revving hard with the 🪫 sign blinking. @elonmusk

Like World Central Kitchen, the heroic Palestine Red Crescent first responders who went to rescue 6-year-old Hind Rajab also received clearance from the Israeli military to get her. They were killed by the Israeli military anyway and so was 6 year old Hind.

For months we have seen instance after instance of the softness of Palestinian men. It breaks my heart how they’ve been rendered so criminal and barbaric - picked up, tortured and executed by Israelis with no one advocating for them. They have shown us a Prophetic masculinity.

Are you seeing what I’m seeing?

This is extremely embarrassing and unprofessional. The Arabic calendar propaganda was debunked yesterday and @CNN is going with this like nothing happened

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

What Israel and the US are doing in real time to Palestinians activate very recent, unhealed trauma around Western violence against Africans, Black Americans, Native Americans, Muslims, and pretty much the entire Global South.

But they don’t want us to talk about that.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Saw footage of an eviscerated child still barely alive, his face and legs completely gone. I’m at a loss - not at the depravity of the Israelis and Americans but really at the depravity of those who, especially in earnest, continue to ask “but what was Israel supposed to do?”

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

While @BarackObama describes violence against Israelis as a “horrific attack” and “unspeakable brutality,” he simply says “Palestinians have been killed.” Not surprising from a president who allowed Israel to commit similar violence against Palestinians during his tenure.

Over 120,000 Armenians (80% of the population) were forced to flee Nagorno-Karabakh following an invasion by Azerbaijani forces. This was after 9 months of a brutal blockade that left Armenians w/poor access to medication & w/malnutrition. That is ethnic cleansing.

One year memorial mass for my dear aunt Shireen Abu Akleh. It was a beautiful service! The priest said Shireen exemplified truth and was the voice of truth. May your memory be eternal❤️ I miss you, always.

[Lina Abu Akleh @LinaAbuAkleh]

Next week on May 11, it will be 1 year since an Israeli soldier killed my beloved aunt, the trailblazing Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Here’s what happened over the last year since she was killed. 🧵

This reveals a lot about the state of mainstream news…

A celebrity lawsuit is more important that a discussion about nuclear threats? 🤔

[Joe Cirincione @Cirincione]

This is a first. I just got bumped from an interview by Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, not her directly. @SkyNews decided to stick with her trial rather than talk with me about Putin's nuclear threats. Can't say I blame them. At least I got to see the video of the ski collision.

I’ve lived in DC for almost 5 years and the vast majority of my friends have no real grasp of what my job is. This is definitely a source of pride for me in this particular city - we all talk about our jobs far too often. We’re so much more than that.

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

It's been 20 years since the Iraq war and 13 since Wikileaks and its media partners upended the government's narrative about the war. Our new @AJFaultLines "The Imprisonment of Julian Assange" talks about what's at stake for journalists in his case: https://t.co/v9a93bCIOT
