  1. My instinct is correct. No human being would do that except for drama. Trump himself said he didn't want it to happen, and then followed with the opposite, saying: but it will. I take the first statement as important as the second. Drama detected. The key was: he used the word "but", suggesting he wasn't serious and confident. Tonald Drump

    “This concession shows that student campaigns do have an influence,” one student said. "These ties cannot survive transparency."

    "#ProPalestine student #activists across the country have struggled to get their universities to respond to pressure for divestment from Israel and its military–industrial complex.

    "So when a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology withdrew from a grant from the Israeli military after hearing feedback from students protesting the ongoing genocide in Gaza, it was especially welcome news.

    " 'This is one of the only cases where we know that student activism and public pressure led directly to an Israeli tie being cut, let alone a collaboration with its genocidal military,' said Mila Halgren, a postdoctoral associate at MIT. (The university did not respond to a request for comment.)

    "MIT has come under internal and public scrutiny for conducting research on #warfare technology sponsored by #Israel. In July, the United Nations condemned the school for conducting 'weapons and #surveillance research funded by the Israeli ministry of defense — the only foreign military financing research at the institute.'

    "That research included projects on drone swarm control — technology which the Israeli military has used during its siege on #Gaza — pursuit algorithms, and #UnderwaterSurveillance.

    "Markus Buehler, a professor in the civil engineering department, withdrew the grant earlier this summer shortly after a student pro-Palestine group publicized it on Instagram.

    " 'This concession shows that student campaigns do have an influence,' Halgren said. 'It also shows that these ties cannot survive #transparency and #PublicAwareness. Student action is not meaningless; despite increased repression, it is more important than ever to resist #genocide.”

    “I still remember how, as a new parent, I would often tiptoe into my sleeping son's room multiple times a day — & night — to make sure he was still breathing.

    “Thanks to Safe to Sleep, a #PublicAwareness campaign launched three decades ago, I knew that #sleep-related #infant deaths were a leading cause of deaths for babies in the #US.”

  8. Avenue Zero is a #FilmDoc about #SexTrafficking in #Canada - there's a few of my friends in this #documentary film. Most now do social work in local communities.
    Released in 2009.

    Please watch & help raise #PublicAwareness on this important #HumanRights issue - happening globally. Canada has been involved on this illicit trade of humans for a long time. Canada hides many ugly truths.

  9. Sharing this vid I made of #widowmaker #tree to increase #PublicAwareness of dangers from them. In Spring, we have windstorms a lot on the North Island & this widowmaker tree will fall when more windstorms roll through the area.

    I'm a bit of an amateur comedian so this vid, like some others, have a #comedy element too. "...you die & then you're dead"
