This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate. 1/5

I'm truly mystified by the obsession with saying covid is just the flu now. One is SARS-CoV-2, and one is influenza! It's like saying, "HIV is just chlamydia now." I don't get it.
