Look at what has been snatched from us. Now only the robbers get to enjoy our beaches. Even if the beach is there, they have robbed us of time.

Let’s talk about Rania Mallah, killed yesterday in an Israeli strike on Bourj al-Shamali in Tyre.

For 12 hours, Rania was buried beneath the rubble & known to still be alive.

Her family kept calling her mobile phone.

She would switch it on to let them know she was still there. Still breathing. Still waiting to be rescued.
To let Lebanese Civil Defence rescuers know where she was trapped.

Rescue teams pulled others out & kept digging with their bare hands in search of her, until orders came to halt all rescue operations until the following morning.

But they had Rania’s number.

They kept calling her.
And she kept answering.

She never spoke.
But they could hear her breathing.

For 12 hours, Rania lay there alone beneath broken concrete, stones, darkness, dust & fear. Most likely injured. Listening to voices above her, knowing people were trying to reach her but were being prevented from continuing.

Just like in Maarakeh, rescuers were forced to stop searching overnight.

Still, they kept calling her phone to give her hope. To let her know she had not been abandoned.

By around 1:00 a.m., roughly 12 hours after the strike, her phone finally went dead.
The battery had most likely run out.

This morning, rescuers resumed the search.

They found Rania.

Next to her was her mobile phone.

She had died.

Israel killed her twice.
The first time with a bomb.
The second time when rescuers were prevented from saving her.

Malcolm X was a staunch critic of Zionism. He viewed Zionism inseparably linked to wider European colonialism. In his little known passage written just before his assassination, he states that Zionism was not just a threat to Palestine, but to the entire Third World.

i fucking care. stop buying private vehicles even if you have a garage. walk to places or take public transport (and if you complain about how it's difficult to walk around, it's probably because of private vehicles!)

[ULU Katheeb @UKatheeb]

no issue with buying your own vehicle- issue is this below- No one fucking cares if you buy a car but dont be a menace to society. see for yourself 👇🏾

You can ride a bicycle
across six Japanese islands.

43 miles of ocean below you.
Six giant suspension bridges
built specifically for cyclists.

You start in Hiroshima.
You finish in Ehime.

Along the way:
sleepy fishing villages,
lemon farms,
soft-serve ice cream stands at every port,
the sea breeze in every direction.

Not a race.
Not a tour.

Just you, a bike,
and an entire chain of islands
the country built a road over
so anyone could see them.

It might be the best ride on Earth.

On this Nakba day, learn about the history of Palestinian struggle against zionism. Erasure of history is one of the main goals of zionism so they can claim Palestine was "a land without a people" and justify settler colonialism. Read our thread:

The “accessible” toilet at the new domestic terminal has a round knob, non-compliant under ISO 21542:2021, which requires hardware operable without grip or wrist rotation. On duty staff informed me I need to bring a caregiver to use it. Privacy is not negotiable. Fix this. @MACLmedia

before the classrooms began speaking in another tongue. before english arrived as progress, there was a different kind of knowing. then in 1980, it was made official. english became the language of learning, and slowly almost politely a colonization of the mind took root.
