Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

The way we stopped hearing or seeing media about Palestine, and there are new types of bombs being dropped in a ceasefire
BREAKING: Israel has dropped a new type of bomb in Gaza.
Palestinians claim it’s a “mini nuke,” but analysis suggests it is likely a thermobaric (vacuum) weapon.
Thermobaric bombs detonate by dispersing a fuel–air mixture, producing a high-pressure shockwave and intense heat. This can collapse structures and cause blast effects similar to a nuclear detonation in terms of overpressure, but it is not a nuclear weapon.

These girls survived ten days of Israeli bombings during the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon. The home next to theirs, housing six women, was bombed.
They were both 2 and 6 years old.
Celebs, journalists, tabloid rags, countless hateful groups & ppl want to ruin their lives.

the west managed to dehumanise muslim/arab men entirely, painting them as barbaric terrorists, yet it is these same men who are pulling children out of rubble with bare hands and comforting them with such heartbreakingly beautiful language

🇮🇱 Israel just killed 1 journalist and injured 2 more from Reuters and Al-Jazeera.
Will any Western mainstream media outlets condemn these horrific war crimes?

The Israeli military told Palestinians in Gaza must flee the north towards the south then they bombed them as they fled. Most international correspondents are in the safety of Tel Aviv and haven’t reported on this. Livid isn’t enough of a word

Joe THREAD INTERVIEW:
Joe said that Michael hates himself, he blames himself and when he killed Chloe, he understood how far he went with that.

It just reached peak silly, when a well-meaning person told me that casting a black actress as Death was as untrue to the character as it would be to make Mazikeen (portrayed in Lucifer by black actress @LesleyAnnBrandt) white. And I had to explain that in the comics, she was.
