it is remarkable that they couldn’t just let her land. she would’ve delivered enough aid for a few hundred people, max. gaza would still be starving. the israeli government couldn’t handle even the optics of someone giving food to gazans

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

If you want expert reporting on trans healthcare, you have to support the independent trans journalists who are doing the work. Instead of hate-clicking yet another NYT story, support Assigned Media. It's a real, immediate, helpful thing you can do right now www.assignedmedia.org

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

This story makes me so incandescently angry. From the demons who killed him to the cops who shrugged off his attempts to find help to the news media that presented his death like an accident to the entertainment industry that used him for a punchline & threw him away. A plague on all your houses.

today, is also such a good reminder that wearing a mask at a protest or direct action is one massive way to keep yourself safe. On a day with 200+ AQI, a new COVID strain, pepper spray in the air and a hundred federal agents on your block, keep your face covered and protect yourself!

The Minneapolis mayoral election seems pretty simple to me. You get to rank three candidates. Rank the three who showed up for Minneapolis today. Do not rank the one already in charge of the complicit police department.

Thanks to many kind souls on here, Ali was able to raise what he needed to evacuate his injured sister. Now he wants to help his friend Khalid, whose family hasn't eaten in five days. They were neighbors before the war and they are like brothers, Ali says. He needs $500 for a bag of flour 💸💕🍉

It was painfully obvious since at least George Zimmerman, and for those really pay attention much further back, that self-defense laws are politicized, only available to political in groups, not political out groups.
