my favourite skzcode caption ever

"We must see the Council’s rhetorical support for international humanitarian law (IHL) put into action. You determine whether the Geneva Conventions are a tool for peace that saves lives". Mirjana Spoljaric ICRC President, full speech at #UNGA79 👇🏽 bit.ly/4dfeJje

There are now 16 “centibillionaires” worth $100 billion or more. These individuals have grown $414 billion richer this year alone, and are worth a collective $2.4 trillion. 16 people... Once again: It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of extreme

BONUS THOUGHT there are questions about whether bringing an action against the Taliban somehow 'legitimizes' them but this is a political issue not a procedural one.

WAIT WHAT IF THEY COVER BYE BYE BYE OH MY GOD

It's the same playbook all over again: terrorists are in or under residential buildings, this enormous bomb is a "precise" attack .... I'm sorry but at this point I just don't believe you anymore.
