I didn’t realize how emotional I’d feel watching the new flag be raised above the State Capitol. It’s so wonderful to have a flag that I don’t have to explain to my child because of painful imagery – she simply can be proud to be Minnesotan every time she sees the new flag.

Similarly, the wood of this 1928 building in Rottingdean was recycled from old barns and ships. Interwar English people did this mainly because they felt it gave them a tangible link to their history, but it is also interesting to revisit with today's interest in sustainability.

I own this rare first ed. of Malcolm X’s autobiog. in Arabic, published 1968 in Beirut. I want to sell it to raise funds for Gaza & because I think it should be publicly accessible. Get in touch if you or someone you know can help find the right institution/library to acquire it.

Tanzania and 142 other countries voted to admit Palestine into UN. Still, at least for now, Palestine won’t be admitted because of an earlier ONE veto in the UNSC on the matter. We need to fix a system in which one country can thwart the decision of the entire family of nations.

Great to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Dana Firas , UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 Goodwill Ambassador, at the 6th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue! Lots to reflect on regarding the role that culture & heritage play in the development of sustained, ambitious climate action.

Those who support climate justice but do not protest genocide and ecocide, you don’t really support climate justice in the end.

Palestine must have its full place in international forums.

This is an essential step towards a two-state solution and a credible peace process.

Wait until these people find out how climate change will increase immigration.
