@carlawalworth Been taking a break from social media / current events / le déluge. Not sure I'm better off for it, but probably no worse off. All ok. Cheers.

Has anyone heard from @MikePerryavatar ? He hasn’t posted in a while.

According to a preliminary report, at least five of the six Israeli hostages whose bodies were returned last night from Khan Yunis were killed by suffocation in the tunnel where they were held—an incidental result of an IDF attack, reports Ynet

This exact thing was a national scandal when John Kerry did it.

💥Former PM warns Netanyahu is acting illegally & de facto overthrowing the rule of law. "Netanyahu does not have the authority to reject a deal on his own! According to the law, with war in the offing, only the cabinet is authorized to decide. The legal & security gatekeepers' must demand it & go public if he refuses. Rejecting deal is a death sentence for the hostages & a betrayal of national security. His disregard of the law at such a time justifies impeachment. He is unfit!"

Do you ever find it funny that Trump gave Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes the Presidential Medal of Freedom in closed door ceremonies with no photos a week before and after January 6th? I don’t.

Actually the opposite is true. Criticizing Israeli policy was more common & politically acceptable 20-30 yrs ago. It’s only in the last 15 yrs—as both Israeli govt’s & GOP have gotten more extreme—that the standard for pro-Israel has become unconditional & uncritical support.

As the poliovirus is now circulating in Gaza, the @UN is poised to launch a vaccine campaign for more than 640,000 children. It's impossible to conduct a polio vaccination campaign amid a raging war. Let’s be clear: The ultimate vaccine for polio in Gaza is peace and an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. But in any case, a Polio Pause in the fighting is a must.
