Minneapolis. ICE raids. Families torn apart. This is not the land of the free or the home of the brave. If your freedom depends on someone else’s fear, it was never freedom to begin with. Rebirth requires resistance. Silence is complicity.

So we blow up “drug smuggling” boats and intensify ICE raids to stop traffickers… but Trump is about to pardon the Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking into the US. Love a consistent policy strategy.

So why are we looking away at Gaza? This just happened less than 35 years ago.

I didn’t think they could make it any worse than it is now. As humans we need to start discussing these hard issues instead of looking the other way. This is absolute genocide and horrific. 🇵🇸

RIP Pope Francis. As a recovering Catholic, I still deeply appreciated his efforts to move the Church toward greater equality and inclusion. In his 13 years, he brought compassion, humility, and a push for progress that made many feel seen, heard, and part of something bigger.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

More accurate, fewer words; "There are plenty of contractors going under". A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary. PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

We must recognize the danger that age verification laws have beyond pornography. They could clear the way for politicians to deem harmful any content they disagree with, such as LGBTQ+ content or content about abortion.

Never not heinous that one Israeli death will fuel an entire media cycle whereas no amount of death and suffering of Palestinians even amid a ceasefire deal ever means anything in western media or to western politicians

Al Jazeera English@aljazeera.com

Israeli forces have killed at least 82 people in Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera, including at least 30 people in Gaza City in the hours since Hamas and Israel announced they had reached a ceasefire agreement. 🔗: aje.io/gmd5u4
