We were invited to screen Still Playing at Amiens Jail in France as part of the cultural activity
They asked me to take off my Kufiya claming its religious symbol
I explained it’s part of my culture worn by people regardless of their religion
I refused to take it off & the screening was cancelled

If you don't live in France, it's hard to really grasp how deeply islamophobic and racist its institutions still are, to this day. They're happy to let you work for them or to consume your cultural goods, but they don't like it when you're *too* arab.

I occasionally get "Rami you've radicalized, I don't like it" and yeah I hate it too but if you're saying this the problem really is that a literal 600 day genocide in our names with our tax money on our televisions from journalists being murdered as our politicians lie hasn't radicalized you enough

An illegally occupying army builds a concentration camp for every man, woman and child of an occupied land and decrees that those who will not be voluntarily interned in that camp will be ELIMINATED. Is there a more accurate definition of GENOCIDE?

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

A reminder that Israel has intentionally broken *every single ceasefire* it has signed for the past decade or more. They have delayed or sabotaged every ceasefire talk so it can keep massacring.
Israel only knows murder, apartheid, and oppression - and a ceasefire gets in the way of those.

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

interesting to see how much more coverage here we're getting of a chant at a music festival than the IDF being ordered to shoot and murder people in Gaza who are seeking aid!
IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.
Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.
