Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, we said

That which cannot be found I desire

Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut.
That Isn’t True.
nytimes.com/interactive/2025/0

“No one has died as a result of a brief pause to do a sanity check on foreign aid funding,” #ElonMusk said. “No one.”

That is not true... the efforts by #Musk & #Trump are already leading children to die...

Peter Donde was a 10-year-old..
Achol Deng, an 8-year-old girl...
Inyaa, a 35-year-old single mom, and her 5-year-old son, Evan Anzoo...
[and more]"

@EUCommission

ok #ursulavonderleyen what about this: get every #EU country their own #nuke and neither #Russia nor #China will not touch them

if you do not do that, you just said "i am corrupt and actually don't care about anyone but myself" aka "i will print a lot of #money to finance my friend's #war #business but #security is not my goal" = more useless senseless #death + #destruction

thanks all idiots involved... especially everyone who sabotaged the #peace talks in #ukraine #istanbul #borisjohnson was that you?

PLEASE SEND #borisjohnson AND HIS FAMILY IMMEDIATELY TO #UKRAINE #FRONTLINE! THANKS! (YOU GOD DAMN IDIOT!)

USAID Official Ousted While Writing Scathing Memo on #Trump Cuts

Nicholas Enrich was preparing a 3rd damning #memo on #DonaldTrump... cuts to USAID before he was forced out.
newrepublic.com/post/192227/us

"In his 1st memo, Enrich described severe staff reductions... in his 2nd, he noted 72... #USAID activities had no funding, leading to a #death toll that is “not known.” But in his 3rd memo, Enrich estimates how many people will die or get deadly diseases as a result of the cuts."

Musk’s Purges Suddenly Take a Horrific Turn—and Wreck an Ugly MAGA Lie

We can now be depressingly confident that their mass cuts are killing people.
newrepublic.com/article/192193

"RUTF is widely hailed as an extraordinary innovation in feeding #children facing #starvation & #death.

...the cancellation of Mana’s latest contracts will mean that around 300,000 #kids... don’t get aid packets that #Congress intended for them. But we, too, are the losers"

Text from article: The details of the canceled Mana contracts illustrate the point. RUTF, the sweet nutritional peanut paste that Mana manufactures, is safe for ingestion by children who are suffering acute nutritional deprivation or are on the verge of starving to death. It comes in foil packets that don’t need refrigeration, making it easy to distribute in regions suffering extreme deprivation. RUTF is widely hailed as an extraordinary innovation in feeding children facing starvation and death. According to Moore, the cancellation of Mana’s latest contracts will mean that around 300,000 kids, mostly in Africa, don’t get aid packets that Congress intended for them. But we, too, are the losers: This paste is manufactured by American workers, and made of peanuts and dairy grown by American farmers, in a spreading of American bounty and goodwill that has long had bipartisan support. Now it’s piled up in a warehouse in Savannah, unshipped and uneaten. All of this lays waste to the spin that Trumpworld has employed to defend the dismantling of USAID. For instance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed all along that “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” will be spared. By any reasonable standard, many of the contracts that have just been canceled qualify as just that.

On the shrouded corpse hung a tablet of green topaz with the inscription: 'I am Shaddad the Great. I conquered a thousand cities; a thousand white elephants were collected for me; I lived for a thousand years and my kingdom covered both east and west, but when death came to me nothing of all that I had gathered was of any avail. You who see me take heed: for Time is not to be trusted.'

Sex and Death by Sarah Hall, 2016

In this provocative and haunting collection of short stories, edited by two masters of the form, a diverse group of contemporary writers probes the nature and connection between two of the most powerful, exhilarating, and terrifying forces that define and shape the human experience.

“What else is there?”—Alice Munro, on why so much of her work deals with the twin themes of sex and death.

The drive for life—for survival and reproduction—and the drive for death—for violence and self-destruction—are the two dominant, instinctive urges of human behavior. These conflicting compulsions, characterized by Freud as Eros and Thanatos, are also the central themes of great literature. In Sex and Death, some of today's most compelling writers from around the globe—Kevin Barry, Lynn Coady, Ceridwen Dovey, Robert Drewe, Damon Galgut, Petina Gappah, Sarah Hall, Peter Hobbs, Yiyun Li, Alexander MacLeod, Ben Marcus, Jon McGregor, Guadalupe...

Dead Doesn't Mean Absent by Tathev Simonyan

Dead doesn’t mean absent.

Dead doesn’t mean I've stopped setting a plate for you
at our kitchen table.

Dead doesn’t mean forgotten.

Dead doesn’t mean the music stops,

or that your laugh has no echo.

I still hear you in the creak of the floorboards,

see you in the blue hues of the morning,

feel you in the sunlight pooling on your chair.

Dead doesn’t mean gone.

(...)

Dead doesn’t mean absent. Dead doesn’t mean I've stopped setting a plate for you at our kitchen table. Dead doesn’t mean forgotten. Dead doesn’t mean the music stops, or that your laugh has no echo. I still hear you in the creak of the floorboards, see you in the blue hues of the morning, feel you in the sunlight pooling on your chair. Dead doesn’t mean gone. You’re the space between my breaths, the pause before I dare to speak your name aloud, as if the air still welcomes your voice better than mine. Dead doesn’t mean I let go. I keep your coffee mug by the sink, your favorite book on the nightstand, and the scent of you folded into the blankets I can’t wash away. Dead doesn’t mean an end. It means carrying you in the quietest of times; the world gallops on, but I slow it here—in this room, where the light still falls as it did when you were here; I keep you anchored here— in the rituals, in the ordinary, in the space where absence becomes presence. I make a shrine of the mundane, and there are two plates on the table— one for me, and one for the memory of you.
