They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.

more of this.

Think I’ve been writing & talking about Islamophobia/anti-Muslim hatred for 20 years or so at this point … and nothing has changed.

If anything, it’s just gotten worse.

[GraceSea 🍉 @HungryBunnie23]

She is right. This cannot be blamed on mental illness. Call it what it was, a hate crime & terrorist attack on the Muslim community. Those two shooters, 17 & 19 yrs old, knew what they were doing, wrote hate speech on the guns & had easy access to guns from one of their parents

"If you're a young person, you open your phone and all you see is: dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, hahaha”.

- Van Jones in conversation with Bill Maher on Oct 2025

When you make a joke about constantly seeing dead brown Muslim babies with a prolific Islamophobe and anti-Muslim hate monger, you are directly responsible for the dehumanisation of Muslims.

And it is that same dehumanisation that leads to them being terrorised and murdered even while submitted in prayer in a mosque.

All of these people have blood on their hands. Don’t fall for the virtue signalling.

[Fatima Mohammed @fatima__m7md]

This is the type of rhetoric that kills Muslim children everywhere. Every pundit, journalist, writer, and speaker who has spent their time funneling and spreading hate against Muslims is invested in this machinery of death that knows no bounds.

[vivafalastin 🇵🇸 @vivafalastin]

sick & fucking tired of people likening antisemitism to islamophobia. they just aren’t fucking comparable. islamophobia is state-sanctioned. “muslim” is a racialized identity. there are entire institutions in this country dedicated to making sure anti-muslim violence exists.

@SquadLeaderAce Respect.

[Mast Qalander @MuslimReverie]

Why aren't movie channels on YouTube talking about these films, especially The Voice of Hind Rajab?

There's this obsession with making movies shorter and forcing filmmakers to cut their movies to the point of them being rushed or even incomprehensible.

Let the filmmakers make the movies they want. Stop underestimating audiences attention spans and reaching for more screenings.

So much respect for Denise #FromTheRiverToTheSea 🫶🇵🇸

Look. P a l e s t i n i a n s in G a z a are not “starving due to lack of aid.” They are being systematically and brutally starved by Isr*** to escalate war-intensified genoc*de into extermination and permanent expulsion. Period.

[Andres Cabrera @SquadLeaderAce]

Forced starvation of two million people.

Deliberate, coordinated, US funded, forced starvation. This is clear preventable evil that has to be stopped.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

According to the Gaza Government Media Office, 100,000 Palestinian children under the age of two - including 40,000 infants under the age of one- are on the brink of mass death within days due to the absence of infant formula and nutritional supplements.

100,000 babies.

[Mast Qalander @MuslimReverie]

My latest blog post. Although I believe the parallels to #Gaza in the new #Superman are deliberate, the denial from the filmmakers is where the problem is. It also raises unsettling concerns about appropriating struggles for entertainment & profit.

@AdequateEmily At the very least, MoS is an interesting case study of what Superman would look like if someone applied an Ayn Randian interpretation of him. It helped me understand Snyder's take on the character, even though I'm strongly opposed to Objectivist values.

[Afshan ✨ @Aferaza]

A healthy relationship will test you more than a toxic one, because it won’t let you run. It holds up a mirror and says: show up, communicate, grow. That’s why real love scares people more than chaos ever could.

[Mast Qalander @MuslimReverie]

@BlazeBinges The movie is an interesting case study of what Superman would look like through a Christian, Libertarian, and Ayn Randian lens.

[Andres Cabrera @SquadLeaderAce]

The genocide of Gaza continues to be the most important story. The mass suffering of Sudan and Congo continue to be the most important story.

This is real evil happening everyday. We cannot move on.
