No it won't end apartheid or dismantle the Occupation but I still want Netanyahu in the Hague and though it may be a fool's hope, I hope to see him there.

Along with every member of his government and every western politician who supplied him.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

Even if this holds, the struggle and the suffering not yet over and we still must do whatever we can to help the Palestinians live in dignity. This giving circle is doing that work directly

Please share, 24 hours left ⚠️ I often parrot “bet on life” from Samidoun’s special report about resistance in Jenin camp. Because mutual aid is existential: every alleviation matters. Every act of support is faith in Palestinian life.

A square white graphic. On the left is a stylized ink illustration of a kestrel falcon in black on white, without outline just the black marks on its wings and face, drawn from behind. His wings are partly open and his head is turned to the right. In his beak is an anemone poppy in red ink with a green stem. On the right is the title "Keep hope alive: a gaza giving circle" in ink-effect font. The text says "We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support." In the bottom right corner in green text is the link https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.

Happy there seems to be a ceasefire, it will be an objectively good thing if it holds together, but every weak wristed defense of this genocide regime that I saw on here, man, aged like shit.

These kids have seen more horrors than most adults in Western countries who back Israel have seen in their lives, and it shouldn’t have to be this way. My heart is so happy for them. Let’s hope their joy can be permanent ❤️

Even if this ceasefire is real, and holds, Palestinians are still going to need support. I'm going to continue boosting the funding campaigns I see

for tens of thousands of years, man envied the birds. now, flight, a thing which once seemed miraculous and completely out of reach, is as commonplace as taking an intercity bus. That's an incredible achievement on a societal level. yeah im gonna be staring out the damn window

I want to add that if you see Palestinians celebrating at the end of the genocide online, please don’t argue and say things like “do you trust Israel?” They’re actually the ones living through this. We’re guests in their fight for liberation. Let them have a slither of hope, even if uncertain.

As I said last time this negotiation came up, I will believe this genocide is over when I see it’s over. The US collaborated with Israel to bomb the politicians convening to discuss the last attempt at a ceasefire, violating the sovereignty of a US ally in the process. These people are demons

NEWS: After Marco Rubio was caught on camera passing a note to Trump asking him to approve a Truth Social post so they could announce the deal first, Trump now posts that Israel & Hamas have agreed to the first phase of the peace plan.

(Trump didn't get to announce first; Hamas did)

I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Bluesky’s Trust & Safety team has somehow managed to become more restrictive & hostile towards marginalized people than a platform owned by a literal neonazi.
