Absolutely sickened by this loss. I was just now on his site reading his beautiful poetry. I feel such shame.
Dr Refaat Alareer

has been assassinated now by Israel. Refaat is one of the founders of
@WeAreNotNumbers
and a very good friend. He authored many books and wrote tens of stories about Gaza.
Refaat’s assassination is tragic, painful and outrageous. It is a huge…

With all eyes on Gaza...

The 4 families/35 residents of A’nizan are packing up their belongings and leaving their lands as we speak.

:"Once you have done your homework, you realize that we need new politics. We need a new economics, where everything is based on our rapidly declining and extremely limited carbon budget.
But that is not enough. We need a whole new way of thinking."
Over 1,5 million students on school strike 15/3. We proved that it does matter what you do and that no one is too small to make a difference.

This explosive investigation shows that Brazil's elections were rigged - there was a conspiracy to exclude the leading candidate, Lula da Silva. And the man at the heart of it is now justice minister. Lula should be released and Brazilians deserve new elections, nothing less
Brazil’s Justice Minister Sérgio Moro, while serving as a judge in a corruption case that upended Brazilian politics, took to private chats to mock the defense of former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and direct prosecutors’ media strategy.

I find it deeply moving that
@AOC
chose to endorse
@BernieSanders
at the lowest point in his campaign.
It's the opposite of the careerist logic that led some supposed enemies of economic inequality to endorse Clinton over Sanders in 2016, despite their records.
Just sayin.
Sen.
@BernieSanders
is getting a major boost to his presidential campaign after his heart attack nearly three weeks ago. Congresswoman
@AOC
endorsed him in front of more than 25,000 people at a weekend rally in New York City.
@NikolenDC
sat down with Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez.

The richest man in the world has fired Amazon tech workers who used their relative privilege to stand up for the health and safety of more vulnerable warehouse workers. In other words, he fired them for doing what we should all be doing right now. It is truly monstrous.

@NaomiAKlein
had heard of Tim Stanley before today, but she got the measure of him quickly enough.
TS: Help countries to grow through development.
NK: Except this gov't is also cutting aid.
TS: You don't say to people: you can all come here.
NK: No one is saying that.~AA

Paul, you did everything you could to sink Bernie. How dare you blame others for this debacle.
Btw, Jill Stein has managed to play Ralph Nader. Without her Florida might have been saved

It's a disgrace that they don't go live. There are leaders in this country, and they certainly aren't in the White House.
No major network went live on him but about 40,000 people tuned in at peak concurrence

Said it.

@NaomiAKlein
says it was a "tremendous lost opportunity" that Elizabeth Warren didn't back Bernie Sanders, given their shared political goals. "She doesn't owe anything to Bernie Sanders. I do believe … that she owes it to those issues."
