This is Sara Ramos - she went to yesterday’s march b/c she was told it would be a peaceful one - but her and her sons were hit by tear gas and had to return back to the shelter. She says they won’t leave their tent again...”I won’t risk my children” #MigrantCaravan
And remember this now famous photo from Sunday as the tear gas was being deployed?
This is the Mom in that photo. Her name is Maria Mesa and she says she was scared for her life and the life of her children yesterday. Holding the tear gas canister, she said seeing the photo of her from yesterday makes her want to cry “I just grabbed my kids and ran”

This is the @USAID aid stuck at the border of #Colombia and #Venezuela - the US says the aid will provide emergency food at medicine for the ppl of Venezuela. Today, it sits inside a warehouse.
Colombian police help to lay out all the food that will be put into food kids. The food kits are enough for over 5,000 Venezuelans for 10 days #Venezuela
This is Lester Toledo. He represents @jguaido - standing in front of the aid- he urged #Venezuela’s military to turn against @NicolasMaduro and allow the aid to come into the country to help not just everyone but the military and their families too

Good morning from the #Colombia - #Venezuela border. Here on this footbridge 50,000 Venezuelans cross the bride everyday for things like food and medical supplies and diapers...you can see them holding carts and empty suitcases to fill with whatever they buy....
The situation is so dire many of these Venezuelans - waiting in line here for breakfast - are sleeping in the streets of Colombia....some families are squatting in a nearby open football field, sleeping on the dirt at night. #Venezuela
The soup kitchen serves more than 3,000 meals for breakfast (which consists of a roll of bread and cup of milk) and feeds 5,000 Venezuelans for lunch. Families here say food is so scarce in #Venezuela they had no other choice but to leave

.@JoaquinCastrotx says they learned of “disturbing facts” of how Jakelin Caal was treated - and saw failures in the system - says young girl and her mother were thirty but there were no cups so @CBP could not provide them water to drink #JakelinCaal
.@RepAlGreen says facilities where asylum seekers are kept wouldn’t be fit for animals much less humans - says they should be shut down - calls the situation at the border a “humanitarian crisis” to be blamed on @POTUS - says over 100 women/children packed inside #migrantcaravan
@JoaquinCastrotx says @CBP_McAleenan should step down in the wake of #JakelinCaal’s death + asks if his direct boss @SecNielsen knew about Caal’s death, why she didn’t report it to Congress #MigrantCaravan

time for a thread on this. my policy: bring your food. bring your drinks. sleep if you cannot possibly stay awake any longer. leave if you must & arrive when you can. this policy was derived almost 30 yrs ago, when i was an undergrad at @UWaterloo
we had co-op at @uwaterloo. for those who don't know it, this is basically a paid internship. you go to school for 4 mos, you work for 4 mos. it also means 15-30 job interviews per term were common. we'd have to miss class. leave class early. arrive late.
missing interviews in old "needless hell" was a serious no-no. sometimes interviews would run late. we'd run late. expected to do our reading, assignments, homework, etc. & go to interviews.

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday

Today is the 6th Friday of the #GreatReturnMarch. Last Friday there was a more organized attempt to reach the #GazaFence & Israeli army promised to respond harsher. Israel also declared human rights laws do not apply to the protesters. 48 killed & ~7,000 wounded so far in Gaza
Meanwhile, Giro d'Italia 2018, the biggest sporting event in Israeli history, begins today (& Israelis bitch about the traffic)

On a atteint le premier point #LeçonDeVie avec une dame qui me dit que son fils est comme moi et que je suis courageuse #PrideDeNuit
Et juste à la fin, deux mecs qui demandent des photos et me prennent dans leurs bras et sont tout émus et me veulent qu'on reste en contact
Moment de doute quand ils me demandent : "Mais si c'est pas trop indiscret, tu as quoi comme maladie ?"
