Hate Crime charges against Stuart Seldowitz have been dropped, even after stating that “4000 dead Palestinian Children wasn’t enough”. He is set to take an anti bias course. Sentence was determined by @ManhattanDA .

@SuzanneCitere @JediofGallifrey @luca_vhc @chrisjollyhale @BernieSanders @PeteButtigieg I remember booing Ronald Reagan when he was shipping arms to Central American death squads, rolling out nukes on train cars, and slashing school lunches for poor kids. Politics has serious consequences. We’re fighting for our lives.

Further, the mayor is saying the political views of professors at universities within the city—public or private—is the legitimate concern of the police.

@joestieb When you love killing and war so much you’ll make up nonsense about even the mildest democratic criticism. Utterly shameful.

People can travel safely between southern Europe & North Africa, as Europeans and richer people do it every day. None of them drown. There’s nothing inherent about the trip that’s dangerous. Border enforcement is what is killing these people. Focus your attitudinal change there.

Grieving for the loss. But the same mothers had no problem encouraging or funding their children to embark on those dangerous journeys. Like in Senegal, symbolically prosecuting parents for putting at risk their children could trigger serious attitudinal change on death journeys.

There was a French news video from about a decade ago comparing Maggi cubes, infant formula, and other European produced staple foods with the same companies’ products sold in West Africa, showing what was sent to African markets was always more unhealthy, more additives, etc.

Heckuva typo—replacing “keffiyeh” with a racial slur—which apparently neither the author nor the learned editors at London’s The Jewish Chronicle could catch prior to publication.

Imagine wanting to create this situation again, but with a Nigerian led ECOWAS military force, with the French and US openly supporting in planning and overflights. People will die, and everyone involved will be radicalized.

🇳🇪 #Niger #Tera The blockade of French soldiers in Tera (Niger). This is part of the convoy which was able to escape from the clutches of Kaya (Burkina). Face to face tense, tear gas play of French soldiers on civilians. From Gote to Tera the population charges the French.

A rather dramatic change from the Nigerien side within a day. The French didn’t go quietly either, but it’s hard to imagine the US gov & military will give up their thousand or so troops & the Agadez drone base so easily. And they have power to punish Macron can only dream of.

A decade of civil war in Mali. Nine years ago peace seemed closer than it does today. When it began we had 2007, 1990, or similar conflicts in Niger & elsewhere, as comparisons. This war has been exponentially worse than any of these. My thoughts with the Malian people today.
