Europe and the far right? What could go wrong? The 20th century worked out so well for them and the far right. #Européennes2024
If you live in NY state and are unhappy about the Biden administration’s Gaza response, there is no uncommitted option on our ballot. You can, however, cast a blank ballot. Those are counted and will serve the same purpose. #gaza #LeaveItBlank #nyprimary https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/politics/2024/04/01/n-y--dems---we-respect--blank-presidential-primary-ballot-protest-

United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs - occupied Palestinian territory | New incident with medical evacuation at Al Amal hospital marks unacceptable security conditions for humanitarian aid delivery 

Statement by the Humanitarian Country Team in Palestine On 25 February, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the United Nations evacuated 24 patients from Al Amal hospital in Khan Younis, including one pregnant woman and one mother and newborn. Al Amal hospital has been at the epicentre of military operations in Khan Younis for over a month. Forty attacks at the hospital from 22 January to 22 February, killing at least 25, have left it incapacitated.

Is this what the US is supporting with its veto in the UN? There is no other description for this except utter cruelty. If one of the things necessary to prove genocide is intent, it doesn’t get any clearer than this. Blocking humanitarian aid to starving, homeless people and dancing no less to a DJ, is the definition of cruelty. #gaza #palestine #israel #genocide https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/israeli-protesters-aid-gaza/

Frightening overview of the methodical strategy of the right. Very insidious indeed. They’re focusing on the trans community because they’re an easy target, but their plans are much broader and will eventually include the lesbian and gay community. There are already rumblings in states like Florida with its “don’t say gay” law.

One of the funniest shows I’ve seen in years. Cole Escola is brilliant as Mary Todd Lincoln. But the play is enough to give a conservative an aneurysm! #ohmary #coleescola

20 Days in Mariupol. Phenomenal documentary. I watched it last night and highly recommend it. The true horror of Russia’s aggression on full display. #ukraine #russia #mariupol https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=20+days+in+mariupol+full+movie
Even though this is from 2020, it’s well worth a reread. Masha Gessen has been brilliant in her reporting and commentary about Ukraine and Russia. #navalny #russia Alexey Navalny’s Voice of Opposition https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/alexey-navalny-has-the-proof-of-his-poisoning
