🎨 What do children in Gaza draw during mental health counselling sessions? Motassem drew “fetching water and the army throwing shells… and the tanks and the quadcopter drone…” Amid Israel’s genocide, the drawings of children reflect their psychological distress:

Czy pierwszy język waszych mężów lub żon jest taki sam jak wasz? Jeśli jest, to mam złą wiadomość: według reguł obowiązujących w Vaupés dopuszczacie się językowego kazirodztwa. eksperymentmyslowy.pl/2023/01/19/r...

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

You know the drill. Post it with bad lighting because better to see it imperfect than not at all! Colored pencil tiger #artpost

HEBRON IS UNDER SIEGE. FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES. Since yesterday, 250 families have been displaced in Hebron, including my own sister, Hayat, and her seven children. Homes and shops are being demolished by the Israeli military.

"The fighting has largely stopped, but almost no progress has been made on rebuilding." An update from Gaza by my friend and colleague Hasan Jaber

The cover-up continues. First they lied about what we could see with our own eyes & called Alex Pretti & Renee Good ‘domestic terrorists.’ Now they’re back to hiding evidence from MN state investigators. MN investigators must be given access to ALL evidence. This impunity must end.

About to go live on Democracy Now with Amy Goodman, in a few minutes, to discuss Zeteo's new investigative documentary, 'Night Flower: Inside AIPAC's Fight For Influence'. Have you watched it yet?

Afghan girls are being denied access to sports. IOC member Samira Asghari speaks to Zan Times about Afghan athletes in exile, efforts to keep women represented internationally, and the prospects for women’s sports returning to Afghanistan. zantimes.com/2026/10/22/w...

#GoogleMaps satellite images of #Gaza show us what has disappeared. A child’s drawing reminds us what was there and what it means to lose it. Behind every destroyed neighbourhood are memories and childhoods forever changed: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-dr...

There is little meritocracy or competition when it comes to Democratic consultants—they get paid the same regardless of how their candidates perform in the election.

From what I'm hearing from Gaza, the price of a 25 kg bag of wheat flour (where still available) has surged by 425%, from 40 shekels ($12.94) until recently to 210 shekels ($67.96) now, amid reductions in WFP food assistance and disruptions to commercial supplies.

Service members, contractors, and military families are now coming forward with images they say the Pentagon hid, and the accounts behind them are brutal. From Saudi Arabia to Kuwait to Jordan, American bases were pummeled by Iranian drones and missiles. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

Missouri voters (NOT politicians) should have the final say! Vote YES ON 6 by November 3rd!

Everyone in our Protect the Harvest delegation has been released. The Israelis who were with us have also received 15-30 day bans from the West Bank, which unfortunately means they will be unable to participate in the olive harvest.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

🎨 During mental health sessions, our colleagues in Gaza ask children to draw what is on their minds. These drawings show their reality of violence and fear, and memories of safety and play:

In Ad-Damazin, #Sudan, people are finding a path to recovery through our #mentalhealth services. After bringing her child to hospital for malnutrition care, a mother found support for her own struggles with depression. Her story: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/sudan-a-moth...

I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the “Protect the Harvest” coalition along with Israelis for Peace, Unarmed Civilian Protection in Palestine & Protect the Harvest.

We are so thankful that State Rep (and future State Sen) @ruwaromman.bsky.social spoke at our "Heat Wave ATL" press conference today. ICE's "Silent Surge" isn't making headlines, but is still kidnapping our neighbors, denying them due process, and subjecting them to inhumane detention conditions.

Earlier this year, the Trump administration ended temporary legal status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians who had fled violence and upheaval for the U.S. Our new documentary "Haiti Deportation Crisis" goes inside Haiti to investigate the conditions on the ground. https://to.pbs.org/4hTLA1e

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

More grassroots energy from some incredible Blue Missouri-supported candidates! We're always excited to share the kind of work these folks do day-in and day-out to build progressive power all across MO!

The violence experienced by our colleague, barriers to reaching medical care and growing restrictions imposed on Palestinian communities are not coincidental. Read our statement: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-ms...

🚨 BREAKING GOOD NEWS: Bleached corals recovered within seven weeks after touching healthy clones in a Stanford lab study, with researchers saying bleached corals are not a lost cause.

In all 50 states and around the world, people took to the streets today with one message: No Kings. Next up, we're going to protect the election and enforce the results. Because democracy is worth defending, and We the People are ready. RSVP to learn more: http://bit.ly/whatsn.... #NoKings ❌👑

Thank you for showing up in historic numbers on this No Kings Day to promote early voting and defend our elections! Your signs were pretty good, too! ❌👑

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Today, a drone struck a busy market in Nyala, South Darfur. @doctorswithoutborders.org calls for an end to attacks on markets and other civilian areas in Sudan www.doctorswithoutborders.org/what-we-do/where-we-work/sudan

Today, another American citizen & journalist was brutalized by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank. This repeated violence & brazen impunity for attacks against Americans & Palestinians alike are unacceptable. When will Trump & Rubio DO SOMETHING?

With women barred from most public spaces, private school teaching has become one of the only remaining lifelines for educated Afghan women. But an investigation by Zan Times reveals a widespread system of labor exploitation, wage suppression, and fear. zantimes.com/2026/10/16/e...

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

Hegseth eliminated staff who prevent civilian casualties, called the rules of engagement safeguarding civilians 'stupid,' & now he's covering up the report on the Minab school strike that killed over 120 children.   He needs to be removed from office & we need accountability NOW.
