I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Azza. Before this Azza worked in a kindergarten and her husband owned a small coffee shop. They lost their home in the first two weeks of the war. They are trying to survive with their children Nisreen, 16, Layan, 14 and Ibrahim, 11.

Breaking | Multiple Palestinians were reported wounded in Israeli artillery shelling that hit a group of civilians in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip.

A group of men in Jabalia, northern Gaza, gather around a damaged white car amid rubble and destruction. A body covered with patterned blankets lies across the car’s trunk, while medical wrappers and debris litter the ground. The background shows a bombed-out building, its concrete frame exposed and walls shattered. The men’s expressions are somber and shocked as they stand in the aftermath of Israeli artillery shelling that wounded multiple civilians.

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.

This. Even if Putin is the fashiest of fascists who wants Russia to be hell for gay and trans people, it is also true that USA/NATO has not been trying to encircle and weaken Russia to try and help the country’s queer communities or anyone else in the entire region.

i distinctly remember every NAFO freak back in 2022 or so telling me that supporting ukraine was important because the EU is a liberalizing force and is going to spread gay marriage everywhere and that it was non-negotiable. a lot of pride NATO and EU flags at the time.

The way the 🇺🇸 military treated Black soldiers during the war was not only unconscionable, but also counterproductive if the goal was winning the war as quickly and completely as possible. And that is almost completely erased from popular culture.

The fascist Federal goon squads running rampant in my hometown were funded, created and granted impunity not just by Orange Man Bad, but also by the same cretins you like to pretend are the opposition party. Get your fucking heads screwed on straight now. We’re out of time for your liberal bullshit.

It’s why your entire government (including the military and spy wings) and all your elite public and private institutions are still fully supporting a genocide in Palestine. All of them - even your favorite Ivy League 🦝 figureheads - are okay with genociding brown people for corporate empire.

—but I guarantee you the people making the decisions and controlling the purse strings hated sharing (especially sharing with non-white people) a lot more than they hated Nazis. Which is why they ‘rehabilitated’ and redeployed so many thousands of Nazis to fight the ‘Cold War.’

Some of you USers need to get your history of the 20th Century from somewhere other than Ken Burns and Hollywood. The USA and in particular its military and spy wings have never fucking ever been anti-fascist. Your great-grandpa Bart who survived the Battle of the Bulge might have killed some Nazis—

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

On the first day of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, emergency teams recovered the bodies of 152 Palestinians from various areas across the enclave.

In the image, several men are seen carrying a body wrapped in a purple blanket through the rubble of a destroyed building in Gaza. The area around them is filled with debris—broken concrete, twisted metal, and splintered wood. Behind them, a group of people stands on the damaged steps of what appears to be a residential building with shattered windows and a cracked facade. The scene conveys devastation and grief, highlighting the human toll of the bombardment even amid the announcement of a ceasefire.

Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.

I know making fun of Brianna Wu is like kicking a dead horse but she said on Twitter that Egypt "started the Suez Crisis" by blocking Israel and lol dog the Tripartite War is maybe the most clear-cut case of an act of aggression in postwar history. It was so clear-cut that Eisenhower flipped out.
