I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rewaa. Rewaa was finishing her studies in interior design (she sent me some amazing sketches) and her husband Mohammed worked in a vegetable market. They have two sons Jamal, 6 and Hamza, 5. They are looking to rebuild their lives ❤️

Tomatoe/tomato - same fruit different spelling.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Men overall just need to stop talking. Take a beat (a very long one) and listen for a change. The side effect may be a reduction in suffering, improvement in climate and less violence and more equity.
Last Tuesday, as the strongest Atlantic storm in 90 years slammed the western coast of Jamaica with 185-mph winds, Bill Gates was downplaying climate change.
Respectfully, Bill Gates needs to shut up
The tech billionaire's climate pivot is cowardly—and profoundly unhelpful.

It’s not just republicans that are trying to prevent the release of the Epstein files, it’s also many democratic leaders that don’t want the files released, otherwise there would be more effort made to force Johnson to comply. This block allows those Dems to claim they tried but weren’t allowed.
House Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to seat newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva is preventing a key vote on the release of the Epstein files.

For the Republican Party, "the protection of pedophiles is above the protection of the children of this country," says colleague @ramirez.house.gov.

Excellent analysis.

What does he expect. Because he chose to have a press conference right before the 2016 election, we have an orange man in office, twice. Did he honestly think he was immune? All because he could not stand the idea of a woman being president.
BREAKING on MSNBC:

Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the coming days in the Eastern District of Virginia, where a prosecutor who opposed bringing the case was recently fired, three sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC.

As long as men are in charge, this is correct. One way to treat this kind of pandemic is to have more women leaders. The more women leaders, the less desire for power and violence. The only people who want power are men. Peace does exist, it’s called woman.
US Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack:

Peace is an illusion. There has never been peace.

There will probably never be peace.

Somebody wants dominance, which means somebody has to submit. There is no Arabic word for submit. They can't wrap their head around submit.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hanan. Before this Hanan was a homemaker and her husband drove a taxi. Hanan asked me if I liked Bayern Munich- because they liked to watch soccer. They’re trying to keep their children Jihad, 16, Rima, 14, Abed, 11 and Sama, 8 alive.

When men create things.
If you use "A.i." to summarize something you haven't read, you have no fucking idea if it's fucking things up. And guess what: it is.
Notable that AI tools could not even generate accurate meeting summaries beyond “a couple hundred words.” That’s useless for minutes.

And for lit review they *completely* shit the bed.

But these aren’t people’s favorite tasks & AI is way quicker, so many will keep using them, truth be damned.
