After 11 years of keeping my Twitter feed strictly related to the travel industry, I decided to have two feeds. One for travel: @PandionConsult
and then one for everything else (birds, politics, etc): @DintyDan. Those who followed the travel thread have been migrated there.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Our feathered friends, and the environments they live are critical to human survival. @BirdNoteRadio does an incredible job of telling the stories of #birds and the humans that appreciate them. Support them in their year-end auction and fundraiser:

Wonder what @JohnKingCNN thinks about @TheOnion giving him a run for his money on the magic wall 🤷♂️🤣

"If Trump wins on Nov 5th, are things going to get better or worse for the Palestinians in Gaza?"
Me, on how we have forgotten how bad Trump's Palestine record was; a reminder of the people around him (Kushner, David Friedman, Miriam Adelson); & his own anti-Palestinian racism.

First I wanna give my condolences to the Jones family for the loss of their father, their patriarch Quincy Jones.
In this moment I want to say that even though Quincy has left this earth he leaves a legacy and a lesson for all of us.
That legacy and lesson is LIVING.
Did you know Quincy Jones was 49 years old when he produced “Thriller” on Michael Jackson? Arguably one of the greatest accomplishments of his life and of all time was done at a middle point in his life. Think about that.
So much emphasis is put on accomplishing things at such a young age now a lot of times it leaves many people feeling like it’s too late to be great or find yourself.
It’s not. Quincy Jones should always serve as an inspiration to keep pushing to be your best and keep living life through the process But also understand that his success did not come without hard work and dedication.
That hard work and dedication for you can start today.
Living 91 years on earth is the biggest flex. Remember that when you see your elderly grandparents and parents. They’ve seen it all.
Quincy Jones LIVED and we should all be inspired by his life and legacy.
Rest in Heaven Quincy 🙏🏾🕊️♥️
Outdoor #cats are the number one human threat to #birds. Please, keep your cats indoors or on a leash. Birds are already threatened due to window strikes and loss of habitat. Don't let your cat be another threat:

It wasn't too long ago that people in DC were uncomfortable talking about AIPAC.
Now, a major network has a 6-minute piece shining a spotlight on AIPAC's efforts to push the US to always side with Israel - and its efforts to unelect lawmakers who dare disagree with it.

Israel killed 4 international aid workers today for trying to feed Palestinians.
The last footage captured by two of aid workers affiliated with The World Central Kitchen, diligently preparing meals for displaced Palestinians in Gaza.
Tragically, these two volunteers were among those killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their convoy in Deir al-Balah just hours ago. The airstrike also claimed the lives of two more foreign aid workers and their Palestinian personal driver.
Biden's not losing because he is old. Listen to @BernieSanders, who is older than @POTUS, speak with intelligence and strong moral clarity. 52% of Americans want to cut military aid to #Israel -wake up Biden, @SenatorCantwell, @RepAdamSmith - send the @AIPAC money back!
“What Israel is doing now is in clear violation of American law.” —Sen. @BernieSanders
Full interview out tomorrow wherever you get your podcasts.

Gershon Baskin, who helped secure the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit more than a decade ago, has been in contact with Hamas since Saturday.
Baskin talks to @LesterHoltNBC about what might factor into a deal between Israel and Hamas to release hostages.

Using terms like “extermination”, “annihilation” and “human animals”—and cutting off water, food, electricity and fuel—the Israeli government's genocidal bombing attack on Gaza’s defenseless civilian population is underway. Once again.
This is a priority for them because!?!?!? Meanwhile, here's another trillion dollar tax cut for billionaires.
