Congrats to @saribashi on her memoir, "Upside Down Love," about how a Jewish woman in Israel falls in love with a Palestinian man in the West Bank. It's a love story and a window into the injustices Palestinians face daily. And it's hope: if love can survive, maybe peace can.
My memoir, Upside-Down Love, launches today! It's the true story of how my Palestinian partner and I met, fell in love, and made it work, against the odds and against the law. Check it out! You won't regret it. @BlackstoneAudio ummforat.com/en/buy-upside-d…

Saudi state owners of @NUFC executed Jalal Labbad last Thursday for the 'crime' of attending demos when he was 15. It is totally inappropriate that @NUFC Chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan who is also a Saudi minister has been celebrated in a @worflags display. Statement to follow ..

We share the Special Rapporteur’s concern that the “international community’s failure to hold the Taliban accountable has emboldened them.” It is vital that all grave violations, many of which may amount to international crimes, are robustly documented.

How do these foreign aid cuts do anything other than hurt victims and people in need of help? We expected the Trump administration to cut funding for @UNFPA but it’s still painful to watch how these cruel decisions keep coming. hrw.org/news/2025/02/28/us-t…

Wrong, Elon. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 86 years. We can make it solvent for the next 75 years and expand benefits by scrapping the cap that allows billionaires like you to pay the same amount into Social Security as a truck driver.
BREAKING: Elon Musk called Social Security "the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time" in an interview with Joe Rogan.
