They are hateful monsters. Treating Chris like this just proves they are white supremacists. He’s the only black crew member.
At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

‘Handala’ was illegally boarded by Israel military in international waters, around 40 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza.

Before interception the 21 crew made this statement: if attacked they will join the global hunger strike for Gaza.

The Handala has been intercepted. Shame on israel and shame on all the governments enabling them.

Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero.

The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law.

The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.

If "Israel has a right to exist and defend itself" can't happen without sending the military to stop an autistic 22 year old from bringing food to starving people, maybe Israel shouldn't have those rights.

The Freedom Flotilla sailing toward Gaza is not just carrying life-saving aid. It is carrying solidarity, hope and our shared humanity.

Yesterday I needed to speak to a company’s customer support that is one of those awful chats. You get a bot but can ask for a person instead. I ended up doing that and was 100% given an AI pretending to be a human. It was incredibly obvious. I hate this timeline so much.

Stop calling people who are silent in the face of genocide "bystanders"

They're facilitators. Their silence is agreement.

As the world slowly descends into chaos and the news is… well bad, remember to take care of yourself. Go for a walk and get some vitamin D, enjoy nature if possible and recharge yourself. Changing the world is a marathon, so be careful not to reach burnout.

Banning books, banning criticism of genocide & foreign states, banning social media apps, banning the right to free assembly, violently squashing peaceful protests, letting oligarchs take massive subsidies while workers can’t pay rent — capitalism is delivering everything they tell us communism does

The Environmental Quality Authority in Palestine reports over 85,000 tonnes of bombs dropped by Israel in Gaza. That’s equivalent to six Hiroshima atomic bombs on a strip of land smaller than Detroit.

Almost all of those bombs were supplied by our government, paid for by our tax dollars.

The Biden administration has carved out a loophole for itself so the TikTok ban won't apply to certain government staff, according to a document signed by Secretary of State Blinken and leaked to me:

My friends, 2025 is going to be rocky. But one thing I know for sure is that some incredible people put a huge amount of care, craft, love and rage into writing books that will soon be published that are going to help us make sense of this broken and beautiful world.
