More from Tik Tok memories.

May need to pin this one, it's a fav.

Also just finished reading Nimona a week and a half ago. Highly recommend the book and movie, parallel adventures with like themes. 😋

My account got flagged and reviewed by TikTok cause I dared be insulted by the changes to the Pride flag in Tel Aviv to include an extra yellow stripe to represent hostages.

An insult it was and still is.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

Thousands of Palestinians returned to Gaza City after ceasefire took hold Friday—returning to a wasteland of rubble. Abdel Qader Sabbah (@AbdelSabbah91) captured the devastation as survivors searched for what was left of their homes - full report (www.dropsitenews.com/p/displaced-...) + video below

Sharif Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس via X (@sharifkouddous): "The Israeli military destroyed as much of Gaza City as it could before being forced into a ceasefire agreement which took effect yesterday. Watch the video from the ground (2nd one) by the indefatigable @AbdSabbah91 embedded in this piece: https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/displaced-palestinians-return-gaza-city-ceasefire-destroyed-wasteland-rubble?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web"

Even at the Gen Z protests in Morocco, what do they chant?

Being mad at Ms Rachel is a pretty good tell that you're just mad that people care about Palestine at all— many such cases actually but in that context these people will die mad because people will always care

The only relief checks that even came with any sort of garnishment protection was the small $600. The first $1200 and the $1400 under Biden did not come with garnishment protection, not to mention weren’t monthly payouts like other countries enabling actual lockdowns.

So, in recognition of that, the “Party of science”, having campaigned on a plan for Covid that Trump didn’t have, gave less in relief in order to continue lockdowns, then gave up on lockdowns entirely despite still seeing surges.

The latest surge/strain is causing “razor throat” symptoms

CNN reports Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas. The eminent pediatrician was detained in Dec. during Israel’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, after he refused to abandon patients under siege.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.
