woke up to terrifying news of an earthquake with its epicentre in Kurdistan. called my father to find out if everyone in the village is okay. They are alive but no one is okay. The systematic negligence of this geography and the rising death toll go hand in hand.
Relatives of those that died in the English Channel tracked the boat online in real time & claim it reached UK maritime territory before stopping. Many held on till morning.
HM Coastguard got over 90 alerts but only joined search operation after bodies were seen floating.
On this Nakba Day, we mark the birthday of @m7mdkurd, whose grandmother was forced from her home in Haifa in 1948 and who has been struggling against his family’s forced displacement by Israeli settlers in Sheikh Jarrah for over 12 years. Happy Birthday Mohammed and stay safe.
palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not abstract. it is material. it is violent. it is not popular, it will be resisted and debated by the entire structures of the monstrous colonial world. and it is the only way forward, and it is the only path of life.
Just a reminder that the current Home Secretary Priti Patel was sacked from the government in 2017 for her secret meetings with Israel. This government has also sold £380 million in weapons to Israel in the last 5 years.
They will not condemn the violence because they fuel it.
Happy Mother’s Day to the immigrant moms who left their own homes before they even knew themselves and moved across the world w/ partners they may not have known very well only to birth life in a new country and plant roots in an unknown land.
It's not just David Cameron who uses his power and connections to lobby government.
The whole 1% are at it. They spend fortunes lobbying to get a government that works for them, not for you.
My unboxing video with @DoubleDownNews from last year 👇🏽
as long as colonial constructions of black men as hypermasculine and brutalised persist, we will never be able to conceive of them as vulnerable and defenceless and consequently, we will always fail them. RIP to Richard and Evan. we must do better.
