Democrat and former Confederate General John B. Gordon "inviting" formerly enslaved Black Georgians to support his white supremacist campaign for governor in September 1868:
"The radicals have told you that the Southern people were your enemies; but, believe me, this is not so. I was opposed to your freedom .... We were all opposed to your freedom. Now, that's honest, isn't it? .... And why was this so? I'II tell you. We did not do this because we were your enemies, but because we had bought you and paid our money for you."

They decided to do this. They set up the speakers. They set the volume to levels that can make a child's ears bleed. And then they put children inside.
One child testified that while he was being tortured in the disco room, he saw a soldier playing games on his phone. When the soldier lost, he would get up and beat him.
This is not moral. This is not self-defence. This is torture.

“Many of these donkeys have died from exhaustion and hunger, just like the people of #Gaza but hope still lives…🥺🤲
In Gaza, a festival was held to honor donkeys - the only means of transport amid war and fuel shortages. A tribute to silent endurance that served people in the darkest times.”

#Bluesky has a troubling problem with banning trustworthy Palestinian accounts as spam. But I see exponentially more skeets from Palestinians than I see toots from Palestinians over here. #Mastodon seems to have an absence of Palestinian voice altogether. That strikes me as a bigger problem.
Maybe you can point me in the direction of accounts I am missing on Masto?

— In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O #Israel…”
— In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense
Wore a hostage pin for Israelis — but said nothing about more than 50,000+ Palestinians killed in #Gaza.”

“Just hours after the summoning and interrogation of our peer, Lana Kamleh in #Jerusalem by Israeli #police another peer of ours, journalist Latifeh Abdelatif was taken and her detention extended by Israeli authorities until tomorrow (Monday, March 17).
In the #WestBank we’re witnessing unprecedented frequency of Israeli raids— this comes after the depopulation campaigns in the north where tens of thousands of #Palestinians are without shelter— their own homes bulldozed, burned, or bombed to the ground by trigger happy colonial soldiers.
What is happening now is an increase of Israeli attacks at all fronts, including armed settlers in civilian clothing, settlers conscripted to the army, and judicial assault.
This is not #war, it is a clear and explicit operation of eradicating Palestinian cities and towns, while pushing Palestinians out either dead or as an asylum seeker.”

ICC member states are obligated to cooperate fully with the court, including in the arrest and surrender of individuals sought by the court where those individuals are on their territory. Crucially, that includes airspace.
According to flight tracking data, Netanyahu's "Wing of Zion" plane has today passed through the airspace of Greece, Italy, and France - all signatories to the ICC.
The governments of these countries need to explain why they have permitted a wanted war criminal to pass through their airspace.”
