A.R. Moxon“The scariest words in the English language are ‘I’m from the private sector and I’m here to maximize efficiency.’”
Lyla MehtaNow with the elections over, Biden, Blinken, Patel are free from political constraints, could follow their own threats & deadlines and suspend military aid to #Israel.
But they won't and they clearly don't care about Palestinian lives. They have "sealed their legacy as enablers of Israel’s war crimes". #Gaza

Randahl FinkThe local children have come by to collect candy for Halloween, and I cannot help but wonder who translated "trick or treat" into the more intimidating Danish variant "candy or trouble" ("slik eller ballade").
I suppose in old viking country it is probably safest to give them some candy. 😀

[GRS] Kate ShrikeCINDY NGAMBA WINS THE FIRST EVER MEDAL FOR THE REFUGEE OLYMPIC TEAM!
Ngamba, who won a bronze in women’s middleweight boxing, is in a same-sex relationship and has lived in the in the UK since she was 11. The British government, shamefully, won’t issue her a passport despite UK Boxing requesting it and her inability to return to Cameroon, where homosexuality is illegal.
Radical Graffiti"Will you discuss with dead bodies?
Shutdown Everything!''
Anti-government graffiti in Dhaka, Bangladesh where people are fighting against police and State brutality.
The Bangladesh government didn't listen to the call of negotiation from protesters against the public service job quotas and instead used state violence to murder hundreds. Protesters fought back and the revolt escalated. The government then wanted to sit with the protesters, but many protesters refused saying that, after such brutal killing, no discussion is possible. The govt would have to first discuss with the bodies of the people they killed first.

wasabi brain@stevesilberman reminder that Biden was credibly accused of at minimum of pretty severe sexual harassment (with a lot of contemporaneous evidence). He also was happy to throw black men in jail with draconian drug and crime laws while his own son got every break in the book. Yes bidens policies are overall better than the bad orange man so we should vote for him but he is not and never has been a good man.
Annie in ProgressThat little voice inside my head that tells me I'm not strong enough, I listen for a moment, then I number off all the difficult things I've lived through, and remind myself...I'm still here...I'm still standing.
JuneSim63 💚Climate protester Roger Hallam ignored judge’s instructions, refused to leave the witness box & delivered a 2 hours-long speech explaining to jurors why a judge was wrong to rule that he and co-defendants could not bring evidence in their defence on the impacts of climate breakdown, and why such evidence justified the sort of acts of which they are accused.
What a hero!
Qasim Rashid, Esq.To recap so far:
•ICJ orders Israel to cease all military operations in Rafah
•ICC presses forward on war crimes charges against Israeli PM
•US State Dept reports Israeli military used US weapons in violation of int’l law
•NYT & NBC report IDF targeted civilians
•Dozens of NGOs demand ceasefire & diplomacy
If international rules based order has any meaning, then the above must matter. The above must be acted upon. And those yet silent are complicit, and history will remember them accordingly.
