In light of rapidly escalating developments, #TDRF issues this urgent statement calling for immediate de-escalation to prevent another deadly #war in #Tigray & Horn of Africa. We encourage all those committed to peace and the #protection of civilians to stand with us.

something i did not anticipate being true is that the most mature, ambitious adults i know generally like hanging out with children & the most immature, childlike adults really dislike kids
There’s never been a safe place for Palestinians to go. Everywhere they were told would be safe for them was directly bombed by Israel. They have made millions of Palestinians homeless, they’ve made them trudge through rubble and fear being shot on site trying to cross roads destroyed by their bombs to go where Israel said it was “safe” Now they’re relentlessly bombing Rafah a safe space where millions of Palestinians sought shelter because they were told it would be “safe” this is actually horrifying
This is what 40,000 child slaves look like while working in the cobalt mines of Congo. You don't need to upgrade your cellphone every year, maybe you shouldn't buy that electric car you were thinking about buying and vapes aren't good for our health anyway
I urge you all to really think about why Hamas employs the voices of children and teenagers laughing and playing to attract the occupying forces and why this strategy is proving effective.

In the early hrs of this morning, and in response to disturbances, Israeli police conducted a violent incursion into the East Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhood Kafr Aqab in East Jerusalem.
There was a barrage of tear gas.
There is one detail that is slightly problematic.
Israel is now openly threatening to destroy an entire country.
The Israeli state is only speaking in these deranged ways because it has calculated that the West will let it get away with anything. And it’s right.
