@GCraughwell @PresidentIRL @defenceforces President Higgins is a man of huge moral integrity, and compassion. He mirrors to others what all Presidents should aspire to be. Someone needs to speak out when the herd cowers to the bully.

@XavSoloX @jazairiyya Even babies, we’ve seen it live, left to rot in incubators. Pathetic it has to be emphasised, bc so many prefer denial & dehumanising, instead of facing their own prejudice, & hate. That’s called evil, a human trait, one we don’t have to choose. Shame on all who support genocide.

@SHELLYJACOBS @ShaykhSulaiman Not when the evidence is fabricated- forced statements from Palestinian detainees tortured in apartheid fascist Israeli prisons. The truth will prevail.

Really grateful to Silver Birch Press in Los Angeles for publishing a tribute I wrote for my son Deocain. They are running a series called Prime Movers dedicated to honouring front line workers. My poem is a transcript of some texts he sent me through March/April. ❤️

@aricfedida @babe_woods1 @DrJacobsRad @FranceskAlbs @UofT An occupier does not have the right to defend itself! Saying apartheid occupier US/Israel has that right, is a lie, and propaganda to excuse genocide. The most barbaric genocide in modern history.

Hy-Brasil or Brasil is a ghost island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Ireland. It appeared in maps as early as 1325 to as recent as the 1800s. Myths say it can only be found once every seven years and everyday otherwise it is cloaked in mist. #FolkloreThursday

@anaraintuitive @jeremyscahill @FranceskAlbs She speaks the truth, and it’s a relief to know there is someone who has the moral integrity and courage to call out the demonic occupier regime that is apartheid Israel, and its western partners in war crimes, not least the US.

After a week of tummy bug, sinus infection, and hearing last Friday my closest friend for 24yrs was back in the hospice - close to her end. I had been keeping vigil- today I felt better, and drove three hours to spend time, say thank you, and goodbye 😢 I needed to share this. 💔

There has never been a war in history where 80% of a country has been bombed, 90% of the population displaced, and 40% of the total deaths are children. These images are not from a post-apocalyptic movie, they are from Gaza, recorded by UN workers. Credit @DaniMayakovski
