“For decades, the shadowy Roman Catholic organization Opus Dei has recruited poor, rural girls in Argentina on the promise of education and a better life. Instead, they have ended up working for years with no pay.” buenosairesherald.com/societ…

Crucial reminder right now:
Sobering reminder of how easily and quickly any of us can become climate refugees.

It is with deep sadness that HEAL Palestine announces the killing of our Gaza Program Manager, Islam Hijazy, in Gaza today. She was the mother of two small children, and a humanitarian with the highest ethics and professionalism. Islam intentionally stayed in Gaza to help others. “My place is in Gaza serving my people,” she said when she started her leadership role with HEAL. HEAL Palestine is more dedicated than ever to serving Gaza, in her honor. Ceasefire now.

As this week draws to a close, I just want to take a few moments to reflect on the extraordinary impact prompted by @propublica journalism, as reported this week alone! 🎉

Q. As far as I understand, the main object of school is to produce superman? A. I don't know about this 'producing superman'. This is not a superman farm! Oh, the Nietzchean in the back row, always. (Q&A from The Fourth Way by P.D. Ouspensky.)

I’ve been appealing to reporters in the last two years to recognize how Israeli soldiers in the West Bank were killing minors with kill shots (directly to the head or chest) based on autopsies and CCTV footage, as well as testimonies, and nothing. I just kept watching the number of kids and minors being killed rise, as these international correspondents spent more time saying “you’re wrong” than actually trying to do the work themselves. Israel has given a greenlight to intensify the murder of Palestinian kids in the last two years. Its Knesset changed its entire legal framework in 2015 to allow the arrest of children as young as 12- putting them in torture chambers with no access to lawyers or even their own guardians. It’s a rogue regime of demented psychopaths in every aspect.
Two American doctors came back from Gaza saying Israeli snipers are targeting Palestinian children with bullets to the hear and it barely made a ripple.

I do think Biden should be allowed to select one annoying donor and one member of the media to commit ritualistic seppuku for bringing dishonor to their elder

Kind of dislike the level of loyalty that Harris is being asked to perform for donors at the moment. Like. I get it, but let her layer in a lil nuance for when the full scope of the problem is inevitably revealed.
