Never forget: to be an engineer and tech billionaire does NOT make you an expert in human societies, human psychology, or global public squares. Fools jump in where wise men fear to tread. #economictimes

Did he mean IQ or intelligence? Since the definition of intelligence is not operationally agreed, how could he have meant the latter? As for IQ, Flynn showed that racial differences change over the generations. Those in modernizing environments quickly catch up.
The disgraceful treatment of the great James Watson for telling the truth about race and genetics is one of the key moments in the decline of the West. No one in the science community stood by him.

Sadly, this 6 minute speech is the one the one that the Harris Campaign refused to allow on the DNC stage. It is a voice of peace and inclusion, supported (if quietly) by millions of Democrats, especially the young. https://t.co/AiTLCHa9NX

“I’m so proud to be a ceasefire delegate” @AZAlawieh says. “In order for us to achieve a ceasefire you’ve gotta stop sending the fire.”

"To say that we have to choose between the lesser of two evils just because they are better than the other guy is the rhetoric of abusers."
VP Kamala Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, canceled a meeting with Palestinian American protesters from Minnesota after CAIR-MN had been reaching out to him for months — with just two minutes’ notice.

There are two sides to this story, and both are worth telling.
Was supremely moved by this speech, which was searing and compassionate. Also seems essential to include a Palestinian speaker to the convention. https://t.co/VoNi6kdQsq

Absolutely shameful. They're having families of Israeli hostages so there isn't even the pretense of not having a hierarchy of which lives matter. All while bombing them.
BREAKING: a source tells me that the @DNC has said No to @uncommittedmvmt putting a Palestinian voice on the Convention stage to speak. There had been negotiations underway. Hoping this isn’t true. Waiting to hear more from @uncommittedmvmt.

The uncommitted request, to have a vetted Palestinian speaker give a vetted speech, is at once extremely modest and also apparently too much for the DNC. Running out of time for this demand to be met.
Ta Nehisi-Coates on @uncommittedmvmt: “As of Day 3 of the DNC, the Palestinian permission to narrate was still under consideration.” https://t.co/3HWEXxII1s

Torturers make victims plead for death. Only if the tortured will sign the right documents and lie publicly is the 'favour' of death granted. The Israeli government is engaged in #collectivetorture. If Palestinians renounce their identity, Israel will generously offer death.
“People are expressing to me that they'd rather just die. They're waiting for death. They’ve lost hope. And that's preferable to what they're going through with serial displacements and the lack of safety.” MSF’s @DrJavidA just spent two months in Gaza. Here's what he saw.

A clear tone shift. You better believe the Harris campaign is listening. We need to keep making our voices heard — if Kamala wants to earn our votes, she must ensure not another bomb is given to Israel. Supporting a ceasefire in words is not enough, we need action.
VP: Which includes respecting the voices that I think that we are hearing from. Let me just say this on topic of what I think I am hearing over there. Let me say, I have been clear -- now is the time to get a cease-fire deal and get the deal done.

Alleged torture and sexual violence in Israel’s Sde Teiman prison grossly illegal & revolting and only the “tip of the iceberg” – UN experts Israel’s escalating use of torture against #Palestinians in custody is a preventable crime against humanity. https://t.co/f3WQckKNKt

Yesterday Israeli settlers physically attacked me, my colleague and Palestinians, in an attempt to prevent the villagers of Ras al-Ein from getting water. Incidents like this now happen DAILY at al-Auja Spring. The settlers and the IOF are escalating the water apartheid.

This is Terrible 🧵 Every Indian should speak on the attacks on Hindus and temples in Bangladesh. If we oppose fundamentalism in India, then fundamentalism should be opposed in any other country also. #SheikhHasina #Bangladesh

All of these conditions have been created, intentionally and systematically, by the government of Israel. Never forget that.
Gaza is experiencing a catastrophic spread of skin diseases due to harsh living conditions. Overcrowding in tents, high temperatures, water shortages, and the lack of essential nutritious food contribute to the worsening situation.

In #Bangladesh, a Gen Z revolution is unfolding. For 16+ years, the regime used divide and rule. This July, Gen Z united people of all genders, religions, classes, and ideologies. They must win, or Sheikh Hasina's dictatorship will seal the nation's fate. #GenZRevolution
