Ofc they did — they’ve been offering to repeatedly for 2 yrs, while being rejected.

Btw, this is despite *I* immediately breaking the ceasefire multiple times.

Also, keep in mind that *H* has only ever held a tiny fraction of hostages, compared to *I*; & mostly soldiers, not civilians, unlike *I.*

Gaza ceasefire live: Hamas says it has returned all hostage bodies it can reach for now
Militant group says it cannot retrieve more remains from Gaza ruins without special equipment * Thousands attend first Israeli funeral since bodies of hostages were returned * Palestinian bodies returned by Israel show signs of torture and execution, say doctors A Palestinian rights group has claimed that the director of the Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza is still being held “hostage” by Israel, Al Jazeera reports. Dr Hussam Abu Safia, was reportedly abducted by Israeli forces in December 2024. The prolonged detention without charges of Dr Abu Safia, amid documented accounts of torture, inhumane detention conditions, and the absence of any indication of release, indicates that he is being held as a hostage. Al Mezan warns that Israel may be using his detention, along with that of thousands of other Palestinians, as political leverage in ongoing ceasefire negotiations. Following the completion of the identification process by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine … (Israeli military) representatives informed the families of Inbar Hayman and Sergeant Major Mohammad al-Atrash that their bodies had been returned for burial. Inbar was abducted from the Nova festival and assassinated by Hamas murderers on October 7, and Mohammad fell in battle after defending the division’s soldiers with supreme heroism The Hamas terrorist organisation is required to uphold its commitments to the mediators and return (the hostages) as part of the implementation of the agreement. We will not compromise on this. Continue reading...

The onus for stopping a genocide is on the party committing the genocide. The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to end it by meeting certain conditions. This should not even need to be said.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

There’s no one reporting on the Pentagon or issues related to the Department of Defence

This would be terrifying at the best of times but a fascist takeover is not the best of times

A regime blowing up boats in international waters is not the best of times

A free press is essential to democracy

“We need to weigh the pros & cons of the baby’s life versus the mother & with 1% chance this is a viable pregnancy I’m not going to intervene”

This woman had an ectopic pregnancy.

That’s a 0% chance of viability and high probability of death for the mother.

This happened in a blue state too!

It’s still not too late to start wearing a mask.

Covid is surging.

Hundreds of kids are in quarantine for measles.

Public health has been gutted and healthcare is on the chopping block.

A well fitted respirator protects you and those around you.

That’s what U.S. corporations spent on stock buybacks last year.

Not wages.

Not healthcare.

Not jobs.

Just… themselves.

Coping with chronic illness is often the only way to learn the truth about disability … which is that it’s hard, it can be forever and you are not the exception.

You will receive shockingly little support.

People will abandon you. It will be difficult to survive.

“People are utterly convinced they will be the exception.

Nothing bad will ever happen to them or if it does, they will find the magic solution that eluded the rest of us.”

“Many of us believed we would be fine.”
“I don’t mask and I’m not sick”

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid”

“I’m not worried I trust my immune system”

“If I get sick I will try harder to get better”

These are all coping mechanisms.

People can’t accept that they will likely become disabled eventually. 🧵

Many folks can’t comprehend the loneliness and frustration of dealing with chronic illness.

They believe that when you get sick, you go to the doctor and they “fix it.”

The reality is far different.

You’re often gaslit, ignored or mistreated.

You learn quickly that no one is coming to save you

We currently have an openly eugenicist administration in power. Anyone going along with the narrative is giving power to the belief that it is okay to just let disabled and vulnerable die. Masking *is* a way to show solidarity and fight back against eugenics.
