Dr Abu Safiya symbolised humanity in Gaza. Israel and the West are destroying it
Israel isn't eradicating 'the terrorists'. It's turning Gaza into a wasteland, a hellscape, where doctors no longer exist, aid workers are a memory, and compassion a liability

Waking up and being notified that Israelis terrorists will bomb you is the only advantage because usually, they bomb shelters with refugees and civilians without any notification in #Lebanon, just like what they're doing in #Palestine.

The stereotype “passive” Asian woman exists only because hidden histories of 🇬🇧 activist women of colour are never mainstreamed. Jayaben Desai and many others fought fearlessly for the rights we have today. #WomensRights

#r4today already getting it wrong in its coverage from Turkey:
1) Turkey has never been "welcoming" to refugees. The EU paid it, a lot, to prevent people reaching its borders, and Turkey has been shown to repeatedly abuse them.
2) Refugees are not "illegal". Nothing about what they do is illegal.

Language use is important. There is nothing wrong with calling people "migrants", or shouldn't be, and refugees are, technically, migrants. That said, if you are reporting on people coming to the UK to seek safety you should be reporting on them as "people seeking asylum". #r4today

TIP 1: FEEL SAFE. Frances @francesmeh.reviews made a list of all the safety features of BlueSky here bsky.app/profile/fran...
one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk
as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media
here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed

Last October, the Prime Minister told LBC that "Israel does have that right [to cut food, water & power from Gaza]."
Today, in the Chamber, he claimed he’s "well aware of the definition of genocide" & that's why he’s "never referred to [Gaza] as a genocide."
We won’t forget.

So apparently, there’s now Twitter Bots specifically to snatch up BlueSky codes. I posted these on the TL and they got snatched within milliseconds of posting.
Never forget when Elon said he’d get rid of all the bots and ended up making them worse!
