UNICEF: 37 Palestinian children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the ceasefire.
Imagine if this was Israeli children - would we call it a ceasefire?

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Who tells the story? *Slaves* don't get their stories preserved. A Sumerian proverb states "the life of a poor man does not survive his death." This makes the Exodus special. There is a duty to preserve the stories of the oppressed. There is a duty to tell the names of those who suffer

You can love Jewish people and be against Zionism.
You can want a free Palestine and a free Iran at the same time.
You can love a population of people and also hate people in that population who hate other people.
All things can be true. It’s not always one or the other.

I am once again asking why people are treating a gradual, voluntary reduction in human population as some kind of enormous fucking problem when in fact it's one of the best news stories of the 21st century.

I'm a surgeon – and I've been shot. ICE denying Renee Good aid is inhumane.
I do not know if Renee Nicole Good could have been saved; no one can say with certainty. But she should have been given every possible chance.
