Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group. There's a reason nobody has ever done this. It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.

When the Knesset yesterday, passed the law approving the death penalty for Palestinians ONLY, they popped champagne bottles in the chamber as they applauded. You read that correctly. Not your problem? It’s complicated? STILL SILENT? SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.

Day 1497 🇺🇦👊 #Ukraine

Since when did lying to the US as a negotiating tactic become a legitimate cause for assassination?

Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.

Tonight here in Bucha, we are holding a night of remembrance. 561 civilians were killed here over 33 days of fighting and Russian occupation. Across the entire territorial community surrounding the city, more than 1,000 people died during that time. Hundreds were shot by Russian soldiers, and the bodies of many lay in the streets and against walls for weeks, until Russia's defeat and the return of Ukrainian forces to the city, along with the global media. And the name of this comfortable, prosperous suburb of Kyiv among the woods became a shocking symbol of atrocity and inhumanity, images that went around the world. This is the church in the center of Bucha, next to which a mass grave of 67 bodies was found. During the occupation, people buried their dead as best they could -- like this, in a pit beside a church. Every day I can see that church from my home in the distance, and every time, I remember how we were present at the terrible exhumation of that enormous grave. That's something I would want to forget forever. A memorial complex now stands on that spot.

Kyiv. So many alerts today. I’m editing photos from the exhibition. This facial expression perfectly suits me now. 🇺🇦 Veniamin Kushnir Midwife, 1962

Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.

Visit us here at Glenveagh National Park on Easter Sunday for some traditional Irish music and dancing at Glenveagh Castle. Free event. No booking required.

Actor John Lithgow reads a poem from his book “Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown” in honor of No Kings Day

In time it will not be called the Israel-Gaza war Nor will people refer to Israel’s right to defend itself It will be recorded in history and remembered as The Palestinian Genocide It will be seen as another period when the world allowed evil to dominate humanity

NEW: It’s a journocide. Israel admits to targeting & killing three more journalists & making up false evidence. Journalists in the west have a moral responsibility to speak up. The blowback from this impunity is coming next for us all. 1/

That's it. That's the best picture from Saturday's No Kings protests in the USA. The literal Statue of Liberty being detained by police. It doesn't get much more poetic than this.

“The history of slavery remains a plague on our society.” Spoken word artist & activist Shahaddah Jack joined advocates & leaders at a #RememberSlavery event at UNHQ this week. “Our history is global history. And so is the responsibility to remember & document it truthfully.”

I am disappointed with the decision by the Israeli police to prevent the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Christian Communities of the Holy Land from marking Palm Sunday at the Holy Sepulchre.    These actions further violate the longstanding status quo of Jerusalem’s Holy Sites. People of every faith in Jerusalem should be able to worship freely, fully, and without fear. I am pleased that President Herzog has contacted the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, to reaffirm this.

Someone printed out my tweet & brought it to a No Kings protest 😯

Easter in Ukraine falls on April 12. Yours — perhaps on April 5. My new Sunday Letter explains why. And how the date is calculated. patreon.com/posts/154219540
