Disability Bluesky, are you out there? I'm looking for my disability community. I know that when we are together we do an incredible job of sharing information, resources, & even saving each other with medical care, housing, etc. Twitter was life-changing that way for me. Where ya'll at? 🤗❤️♿

if someone believes that it’s ok to bomb a refugee camp because there is an enemy combatant in there somewhere, you’re never going to convince them that Palestinian life has value

"I write at a moment for great anguish for the world... [W]e are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes, and the Organization that we serve appears powerless to stop it." Read every word of this resignation letter from Craig Mokhiber, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The fact that we have been holding conferences since 2020 and almost nobody but Davos and anime cons have figured out how to do it right is a prime example of how denial creates terrible policy. A lot of these organizers are very smart! They could figure it out! But.

Anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hate online stems from the same fringe, white supremacist communities who target both groups interchangeably, finds Hobbs, @nazita.bsky.social, Li & Lucas, suggesting we need to consider hate against both groups in tandem doi.org/10.1007/s111...

Very proud of this report by my team, just out today - take note @ketanjoshi.co

This is the most shameless thing I've ever seen.

This is outrageous. Israel's government has denied Rolling Stone a press credential after our critical coverage of Netanyahu and the widening conflict. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The Financial Times editorial board calls for a humanitarian ceasefire. This is significant. “Israel’s collective punishment of the 2.3mn people trapped in Gaza — almost half of them children — must stop.”

The number of Palestinian children killed in Gaza over the past 3 weeks has exceeded the number of children who died in conflict zones around the world each year since 2019, according to human rights groups

I've been thinking a lot about history this afternoon, as Gaza plunges into darkness. We've never been on the right side, not from the beginning. www.okdoomer.io/were-the-bad...

The people who in five years will ask "how did we let this happen" Are the same people who are, you know, currently letting it happen

From the head of the WHO: "We have lost touch with our staff in Gaza, with health facilities, health workers and the rest of our humanitarian partners on the ground. This siege makes me gravely concerned for their safety and the immediate health risks of vulnerable patients." 💔

Lucky Matildas substituted !

From the old place

johnmenadue.com/australian-p... What the whole debate about an Indigenous Voice to Parliament demonstrated, with brutal clarity, is that Australia is a morally backward society.

"Canberra is clearly out of touch with the rest of Australia." Yeah but we were very in touch with the views of those in the Indigenous dominated areas of Qld, WA and NT. I'm not embrarrassed by that.

Prove you’re human. Prove you stand on two legs. Run.

And because of how the system works the costs for all this will roll down hill

At this point it is more likely that Americans will adapt and evolve to become bullet proof than it is their government will do anything to stop gun violence

Who’s watching Mathildas?
