Dropping 2,000-lb bomb on women and children sheltering in makeshift tents and burning them alive: “mistake.”

The videos coming out of Rafah are like nothing I’ve ever seen before 💔
I don’t know how to describe the point mankind has just reached. We are watching the erasure of an entire population on our screens. This has to stop. I can’t believe this. Tears are flowing down my face.

They’re bombing Rafah again hours after apologising for bombing Rafah. There is no bottom to their depravity. They will tell the Western media whatever they want and it’ll be platformed unquestioningly while they do the exact opposite under cover of media spin.

From Sandy Hook and Uvalde --- to Gaza/Rafah, America is led by soulless, brutal men who tell us the price of "freedom" and "security" is to accept the slaughter of babies and children.
We are being led down the path of moral rot and spiritual abyss.

A little child watched as his father was BURNED ALIVE inside their tent in Rafah after israel’s strike.
He says “My dad is gone, I wanna go get my dad!”
He stayed there waiting for his father to come out but he never came out.

The IDF’s attack on a tent camp of innocents in Rafah is an indefensible atrocity.
This was done in open defiance of @POTUS’s red line and the ICJ’s call for a ceasefire.
It is long past time for the President to live up to his word and suspend military aid.

RIP 𝗝𝗲𝗳𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗯𝘆, 46, of cancer. Shocking loss at a too-young age of acclaimed Mi’gmaq filmmaker of "Rhymes for Young Ghouls" and "Blood Quantum." One of the brightest lights of Indigenous and Canadian cinema is gone.

Shout-out to the other neurodivergents who use parentheses too much (to add context to make sure nothing is misunderstood) (because parentheses clarify our directness) (I hope this tweet makes sense).

AFRICAN CARTOGRAPHY
A manuscript topographic map of the Bamun Kingdom in Cameroon made in 1920 on the orders of King Njoya. This map is the first to reflect the way the Bamum people themselves saw their land - a precious example of an African map made by African cartographers. 1/

We are so scared as a society about talking and educating openly about what really happens to women’s bodies after delivery and it is absolutely because we are afraid that with more information more women would forego motherhood. That is a concept people just can’t cope with.

The 72 hour eviction notice suggests they'll be showing up at 6am Monday morning. If you can show up for someone in your community being ripped away from their home by a bunch of bullies, do.
