The BDS movement, welcomes the news of a ceasefire agreement with immense relief. A ceasefire, however, is only the most important first step to end the genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied and besieged Gaza Strip. bdsmovement.net/After-Ceasef...

We need UN investigators into Gaza asap. The world is not ready to learn the true depth of crime committed — but learn it the world must.

I'm begging everyone to pay more attention to Brazil beyond placing it on a pedestal because the handling of Bolsonaro The violence against Indigenous people in Brazil is beyond words

You cannot colonize a people’s spirit, no matter how many borders you draw.

If you loved that book about The Gods Are Among Us And They're Mostly (Especially Odin) Kind of Assholes, but you're feeling some kind of way about it now that the author has been revealed to be an asshole, I have good news: that is a REALLY COMMON THEME. A 🧵

Facebook is now erasing LGBTQ ppl & promoting the dehumanisation of LGBTQ ppl. Remember they own FB, Threads, Instagram & WhatsApp. Time to make it clear to advertisers they are supporting a homophobic business.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote. This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/EC9Y1x2d

live your life in such a way that when your uninsured house burns down everyone isn't like lmao that rules

From the start, a central plank of US and Israeli propaganda has been to cast doubt on the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers. What will they say to this, a peer reviewed study carried out by reputable institutions (and to what has been obvious for a year to most of the world inc the ICC)?

There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.

Don't RP this Liz Truss will hate it and we wouldn't want to upset her would we?
