NYT finally got a community note for its whitewashing language.

From the MIT Coalition for Palestine in @theslowfactory. Read: everythingispolitical.com/readings/engin… IAI out, IMOD out!

And why? Because they can and nobody is stopping them. That’s literally it. Our Palestinian, Lebanese, and Iranian (etc.) peers should never be policed for their language when such inconceivable and unwarranted evil is happening to their lands in real time.

"Revolutionary Cuba has also mobilized the world’s largest international humanitarian assistance program, from health care professionals to technical specialists and construction workers." buff.ly/bWHeHFF

Palantir is a priority BDS target. The Palestinian-led BDS movement calls for forming broad intersectional coalitions to lead contract exclusion campaigns, peaceful disruptions, and other creative forms of pressure on institutions contracting Palantir.

She just won a prestigious journalism award in the US for her photography. She should be alive to accept it.

This imperialism is outrageous and must be rejected.

This week, the Nuestra América Convoy will depart for Cuba carrying over 20 tonnes of humanitarian aid. 🔗 Find out more online: buff.ly/05ObwUh

It’s frustrating how the average American can’t fully grasp this kind of loss because war is intentionally designed to feel abstract and something “othered” because it’s not happening on US soil. There’s barely any understanding of what widespread infrastructure collapse even looks or feels like. It’s become this “them vs. us” even though that “them” is often created by us. Perhaps also because US media focuses on governments + militaries during wartime while outlets like Al Jazeera focus on people, forcing you to see them as us. I wonder how empathy in the West would look if conditions were reversed. Empathy is kind of the only reason we don’t kill each other. What would it mean to actually understand that the other person could be me.

The aftermath of Israeli strikes on residential areas in West Tehran.

Almost 1k dead in lebanon in the span of one week do you know how horrific and how consistent with murdering israel has been

The Gaza method.

1 in 7 people are now displaced in lebanon. i really despise having to always contextualize our suffering for the west but please imagine 1.1 million people in nyc trying to find a place to hide from airstrikes, and when they finally find a tent on the street, thats bombed too.

Colonizers have always portrayed resistance as terrorism, savagery, and barbarism. They love to play the victim of the so-called savagery of the colonized and use this perpetual victimhood to justify countless genocides.

"The sniper who shot my friend Jihan's 3 year old daughter Noor, shattering her tiny legs while she was in her mother's arms in Gaza, is a hateful, racist ghoul -- I understand that's one of the things I've been criticized for saying. And I double up on it, frankly. But the rage, the disgust even hatred that Jihan or I feel toward that sniper is not racism. It is not anti-Jewishness. It is not anti semitism. Nor are her feelings toward the tank operator who blew out the back of her son Arhab's head, making her fingers sink into his brains when she tried to pick him up. Our feelings or words in response to 78 years of this barbaric, colonial violence are not 'reprehensible.' They are not antisemitic. And they are not anti Jewish. In fact, despite everything they have done to us -- despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Jews both inside & outside of Israel support this zionist carnage & domination -- we still have the tender human sense to recognize those Jews, however a minority they may be, who do not support Israel. And to embrace the far smaller minority who are anti zionist, in fact."

my response to Mayor Mamdani, the reporters calling me, etc.

Palestine was never a single f’n issue! It was always a laboratory to see what we’d accept.

Arundhati Roy -- "At the height of the genocide in Gaza, the government of India sent thousands of poor Indian workers to Israel to replace expelled Palestinian workers. Today, while Israelis take shelter in bunkers, it is being reported that those Indian workers are not allowed into those shelters. What the hell does all this mean? Who has put us into this absolutely humiliating, shameless, disgusting place in the world?" zeteo.com/p/iran-is-not-… #India #IranWar‌
