I want everyone to see this because the West has dehumanised so much of our identity across the Middle East for centuries. They’ve been made to believe we come from nothing more than desert tents that flap in the wind. We come from culture. We must humanise our region and people.

Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha says the situation in Gaza is as bad as ever, with Israeli forces committing regular massacres against civilians. "We are publishing the names of these children who are killed and no one cares."

There’s schools in New Mexico open 4 days a week bc they can’t afford Friday. Schools in Baltimore close when it’s too hot bc they cant afford AC. In whole counties in South Dakota people die a decade before everyone else. But there’s always money for bombs. Alway money for bombs

Wow. Deeply grateful for this review of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US in Rolling Stone: "A stunning narrative account of the working poor whose unhoused ranks have swelled over the past generation, largely without any notice or regard from media or public agencies."

Policywise this is all of course insane, but Trump's breaking of this norm--being *publicly* critical and upset at Israeli policy--is key to his political success. He breaks an establishment norm that the US public knows is a farce. Sorry.

The best thing about the U.S. refusing entry to a Norwegian student because of this meme is now every news agency across Europe is now sharing this meme.

I wrote some of my best pieces for Moyers & Co. & still remember how thrilled & honored I was to be working for HIM. The man was a giant - a forward-thinker, a champion of civil and human rights, just a downright kind soul. What an incredible legacy - what an incredible life.♥️

The IDF has repeatedly told international media after these massacres they will investigate the circumstances. Haaretz investigated and was able to confirm direct orders to shoot at unarmed civilians seeking aid. The IDF refusal to actually investigate is precisely why the ICC

I spent some time yesterday looking at the Texas flood, and investigating what made the disaster so deadly. I also have some choice words for those who see the drowning of children as fair punishment for their political enemies
