On this day in 2013, the people of #Ghouta were suffocated by Assad’s chemical weapons — more than 1,400 innocent lives, mostly children. May their memory never fade.
Eternal disgrace to those who excused, denied, or remained silent.

I wish Binoche, who heads the Cannes Jury, had actually named Fatima Hassouna’s killers during her opening speech. She said a missile killed her and her family, but did not name Israel or use that platform to call for an end to the genocide.

The new Syrian gov must hold perpetrators of mass killings of Alawite civilians accountable & take steps to prevent sect-based violence.
Deliberately killing civilians, injured, surrendered, or captured fighters is a war crime & should be treated as such.

Because of him, we cannot say that we did not know.

Republicans have less trust than Democrats in health agencies like HHS, CDC, and FDA to make the right recommendations on health issues.
We find there’s an even larger partisan trust divide in the other direction for President Trump & HHS Secretary Nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
