In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe.
Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

The World Health Organization's emergencies director Mike Ryan said the situation was an "abomination".

"We are breaking the bodies and the minds of the children of Gaza. We are starving the children of Gaza"

All States must act now to stop this.

This atrocity must end.

Activate climate’s β€˜silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

β€œA huge 89% majority of the world’s people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the climate crisis, but feel they are trapped in a self-fulfilling β€œspiral of silence” because they mistakenly believe they are in a minority, research suggests.”

Most of us want #ClimateAction.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

This is why I’m here:

🧡Trigger warning: suicide

I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.

Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10
