What’s happening in northern Gaza right now is beyond horrifying.
Families are fleeing south with nothing—no shelter, no food, no safety.
They’re sleeping on sidewalks, on the streets, under the sun and under bombs.
Children are dying. Mothers are holding their lifeless babies in their arms.
The roads are full of people running for their lives, exhausted, terrified, and forgotten.
Gaza is dying. And the world is watching.
We are not numbers. We are human beings, being wiped out silently.
Some great sassy advice from Audrey in Paris about how to handle the mandated mourning that wants to dictate 1) that we mourn, 2) whom we mourn, and 3) how we mourn — in this case, Charlie Kirk.
And let's not pretend that the mandated mourning may be channeled by MAGA but emanates to a great extent from a white Christian nationalism that wants total control of all of us.

Important news today, so far. In rough order of significance.
1. Russia is still killing Ukrainians every day in its war of aggression, and now has sent a wave of drones with extra fuel tanks and Polish SIM cards into Poland.
2. Israel is still killing Palestinians every day.
3. Warlords in Sudan are still killing Sudanese civilians every day.
4, 5, ... approximately 100. Wars and governments and preventable deseases are still killing people.
@dymaxion @quinn Don't smear the witches, since they are the ones who successfully got Charlie Kirk shot.

“The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible,” Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted on X, in response to today's shooting of the fascist leader of Turning Point.
Ok. But let's also remember that Charlie Kirk's politics, his transphobia, racism, sexism and general bigotry, are also vile, disgusting and reprehensible. And they feed into the transphobic, misogynist and racist violence committed by other bigots.
Where Was Newsom's disgust and anger toward this?
Answer: he was actively embracing some of those same ideas when he cozied up to Kirk on his podcast last year.
Ironically, Kirk had said that gun deaths in America were worth it to protect the 2nd amendment.

Street art takes aim at the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of covering up Israel’s crimes instead of reporting them. What do you think of this protest artwork?

The Price of Free Press!
Israel has murdered nearly 200 journalists, reporters, and photographers who were covering the war in Gaza.
Along with more than 60,000 Gaza civilians who lost their lives while simply trying to stay alive another day!

"Nice people made the best Nazis. Or so I have been told. My mother was born in Munich in 1934, and spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves. When things got ugly, the people my mother lived alongside chose not to focus on 'politics,' instead busying themselves with happier things. They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away."
