“I cannot do my job in an environment in which specific people cannot be acknowledged as fully human, or where gender and human rights principles apply to some, but not to others, depending on their race,” he wrote.

Ugh terrible. Like how do you receive a letter like this and still think "yeah I'm the right one and not a racist POS war mongering profiteer". Theres no shame anymore

I'm glad that they chose to put up rather than shut up.

The US president had threatened to cut off the supply of arms for use in any Rafah offensive, but his administration has not delivered on that threat, arguing that the assault on the city did not amount to a major operation as it did not involve large numbers of troops.

What a relief to know that when we bombed the shit out of Hiroshima and Nagasaki we weren’t involved in major operations. There were only a small number of troops involved, so I guess they were more skirmishes. I’ll sleep better knowing that.

Sigh… I just have to put my head down and avoid most news or my mental health suffers from feeling so helpless and outraged.

Gentle reminder that USAID is essentially another branch of the CIA.

Am I bad at reading or did they get fired for reporting on war crimes?

Way to call them out on their bullshit. I hope this gets remembered later in history.

I hope he becomes a spokesperson in support of a complete ceasefire and a defender of Palestinian lives.

It’s astonishing that Biden/the administration has decided that Israel is worth throwing away the post-WW2 global system for.

The US is going to need alliances and partnerships to counter future and current Chinese and Russian revanchist aggression, and Europe has already broken away from the US global leadership because of Gaza. They’ve all reinstated UNRAWA funding, several now formally recognize Palestine, multiple heads of state are openly calling it genocide, and the US sits alone wielding UNSC veto to protect ~~the unsinkable aircraft carrier~~ Israel.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad. On one hand officials actually taking a stand against injustice, and on the other the only people who actually gives a shit about the good and will of the people are ~~leaving~~ being fired.
