Why Germany's Baerbock is unfit to be the new UN general assembly president
Why Germany's Baerbock is unfit to be the new UN general assembly president
Annalena Baerbock is not just any diplomat. As Germany’s foreign minister from 2021 to 2025, she tried to justify over and over again Israel’s war crimes as “self-defence”, rejected ceasefires, and her country continued to provide Israel with hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons, making it its second biggest arms supplier.

I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank.
I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any).
We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

"These 15 medics and first responders were heroes. They ran towards danger. They served their people. They believed in the sanctity of life, even in a place where life is constantly under siege. Their memory should be sacred."

Israel kills, lies, and the Western media believe it
The execution of 15 Gaza medics and rescuers demonstrates just how normalised the dehumanisation of Palestinians is.

After the snow ice and rain of yesterday it was a beautiful day to spend in the garden. Picked up all the garbage in the front garden, brought the pots out to the patio, trimmed a few clematis and had a look at what was coming up.
