    Just had to edit a case study of a 9 year old Kurdish boy undergoing psychotherapy because of the Syrian conflict. He watched his best friend die during a bombardment from the Turkish army and constantly shakes from fear. His mother thinks he's possessed and beats him.

    My son has been elected to the school council and is visiting the House of Commons in January. I’m finding it hard to deal with Jo not being there to welcome them. She would have loved it.

    ICYMI. White man recently planted a hardcore bomb at an American airport. It didn't go viral. It hardly went local. Conservatives said NOTHING. Did nothing. BIGOTRY is the primary indicator of their selective outrage.

    Stay strong, Keaton. Don’t let them make you turn cold. I promise it gets better. While those punks at your school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world, how would you and your mom like to come to the Avengers premiere in LA next year?

    If after 70 years you don't realize how violence empowers counter-violence and legitimizes your enemies, you're a freaking moron.

    If after 70 years you still dont believe that violent struggle is the most effective and only way to get back what you lost, i guess you dont deserve your land with all the sacrifice that have been made for its sake❤
