I’ve been tryna read about different organizing models particularly unions that aren’t tied to workplaces or a shared housing experience (so, other than tenants unions) I found out about this neighborhood union in Atlanta, pretty cool wams.nyhistory.org/primary-source…

❤️‍🩹Exactly one year ago, 23-year-old Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat was killed when an Israeli occupation drone struck his car in Beit Lahia as he drove toward the Indonesian Hospital to go live after reporting from northern Gaza. For months, he documented the destruction of areas like Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, becoming a defining on-the-ground voice for Al Jazeera Mubasher since October 2023. Earlier that same day, he reported on the killing of fellow journalist Mohammed Mansour in Khan Younis, before he himself was targeted hours later in what witnesses described as a direct strike on a clearly marked press vehicle. In this video, a young girl tells him she wants to become a journalist like him, drawn to the way he spoke, reported, and stayed present when others could not, turning his work into something people looked up to, not just watched. Rest in peace Hossam

right now i’m reading paule marshall’s brown girl, brownstones and looking up new-to-me words every other page and feeling tender about selina and jamaica kincaid’s annie john

‼️“It’s not your land for you to say it has the right to exist.” In this exchange, a speaker addresses disgraced New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani directly, rejecting his repeated insistence that Israel has a “right to exist” while Palestinians continue to live under occupation and attack. The criticism comes amid backlash in pro-Palestine circles after Mamdani distanced himself from renowned Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa following pressure from pro-Israel groups connected to work by his wife, illustrator Rama Duwaji. Abulhawa is widely recognized as one of the most prominent Palestinian literary voices of her generation, author of the international bestseller Mornings in Jenin, translated into more than 30 languages, along with The Blue Between Sky and Water and Against the Loveless World, all exploring Palestinian displacement, resistance, and survival. Beyond her writing, she founded Playgrounds for Palestine, a nonprofit building playgrounds for Palestinian children in refugee camps and occupied areas, and has spent years advocating for Palestinian rights and dignity. Her critics point to past statements condemning Israeli terrorist policies, including rightfully describing Israeli terrorist settlers as “parasites", language many supporters argue reflects the brutality Palestinians face under settler colonialism. Pro-Palestine activists say Mamdani’s public condemnation of Abulhawa’s rhetoric amounted to throwing a Palestinian voice under the bus to shield himself from political pressure, fueling accusations of hypocrisy from those who say genuine solidarity cannot coexist with affirming the legitimacy of the system oppressing Palestinians.

We feel deeply ashamed having to appeal to you for help in securing the most basic necessities of life in the 21st century. We have grown weary of primitive living conditions and life in tents.😥 #GazaGenocide‌ #Vina2026 #Iran chuffed.org/project/134955… @BulentY_

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person. Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* zines: zinelibrary.org

The medicidal siege to create conditions of life leading to the destruction of Gaza Palestinians as a group continues for the 28th consecutive month.

The first library to be built during the genocide in Gaza.

Listen to Tala’s wish at the end of the video 🥹🥹🥹 The Hasan School kindergarten had a birthday party for Tala this week, the daughter of one of our beloved teachers. The celebration included snacks, activities & some dancing! The Hasan School has more than 700 students from nursery to middle school. Unfortunately we don’t have the budget to open a department for high school, especially with the significant drop in donations. The Refaat Alareer Camp link covers the expenses of The Hasan School, please consider donating & sharing today: chuffed.org/project/113327… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Camp") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Ali (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Camp")

My manager was complaining about how unprofessional this new generation is with resigning jobs. He said his last employee quit by sending a message that said “it’s giving shackled. I quit” lmfao😂
