600,000 deaths already estimated. The incoherence of a total unexpected shutdown was evil. Trump is not anointed of God- careless, easy cruelty to children is inspired by another master.

RIP Morgan! He struck a great blow in the fight against animal torture by teaching millions of viewers how toxic meat and other BS of the food industrial complex ruin our health. An āEverything is Connectedā lesson that soaked in for so many. via @NYTimes

1/ Iām an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.
