emphasizing as well that u CAN boycott if u want, but BDS wants us to PRESSURE disney. if ur not sure what that looks like, one example is the netflix comment sections during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, especially in their community tab— a sea of comments criticizing them +

[klaudia @ anime expo @kaludiasays]

FYI: BDS put Disney on their non-boycott list, but now they’re asking for a SPECIFIC boycott on Marvel for Black Friday and Cyber Monday for movie tickets and merchandise, and specifically public pressure about and boycott of Cap 4 when it comes out ⬇️

Today I talked to Hala (my cousin’s daughter) who’s the only survivor of her family. Hala is 8 years old, she doesn’t talk about what happened and she doesn’t speak with anyone since. I haven’t been able to speak with her since they were killed over a month ago. Hala lost both her parents, her 3 sisters, her grandparents, her two aunts, three uncles and all of her cousins that were in that house. I have thought many times about what I would tell her when I call her for the first time. I haven’t spoken to my remaining family who are still alive for over two weeks until today. Because of the “fake truce” I managed to video call them today as they had internet connection for the first time. Hala was next to my uncle and saw my picture on the phone. I kept asking for her multiple times. She then took the phone and went into a dark room to talk with me alone. I froze. I just kept saying Habibti Hala I miss you so much I love you so much. I couldn’t mention her family, and I genuinely didn’t know what to say to an 8 year old who just lost her whole family. I just talked to her about how I want to visit her soon and how much I miss her and all the toys I bought for her and I asked her if she wants anything in particular and she told me “I just want to see you and come live with you far away.” It broke me so much. I held my tears inside my chest and wondered what on earth did this little girl do to deserve all of this pain. I kept trying to think of things that will excite her but she was very quiet, not the Hala I once knew. Not the happy Hala who gets excited at the most simple things. Not the Hala that laughs with her whole heart, but a new Hala who’s barely able to smile. I told her I’ll take you to the best amusement park and she was shocked and said “oh you have that there?” Her little brain cannot comprehend that life is normal outside her home. All she can picture is destruction, bombs and dead parents and sisters. I wish I can hide this little girl in my heart from this cruel world forever. Hala is one story only, there’s more than 1 million children in Gaza who’ll grow up with so much trauma and unimaginable losses. Our hearts cannot bear all of this pain.

I hope folks know that a temporary ceasefire does not mean any of our work is done. We have to continue pressure to ensure the genocide doesn’t just resume afterwards, the US stops providing financial & military aid to Israel, and the occupation/Israeli apartheid ends entirely.

[City Lights Books @CityLightsBooks]

Mosab Abu Toha has been freed by Israeli soldiers and is with his family in Gaza.

We will report more details as soon as we have them. Thank you to everyone for their advocacy.

CEASEFIRE NOW!

[City Lights Books @CityLightsBooks]

Poet @MosabAbuToha was taken away from his family by the Israeli Defense Forces at a checkpoint in Gaza.

Please join us in calling for the international community to demand the release of Mosab, and all hostages and prisoners in Gaza and Israel.

Due to pressure and action from Columbus’s local “Palestinian Liberation Movement” organization, the Columbus city council president will be issuing a statement calling for a ceasefire!

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

The most important story of the #BlockCopCity action is not the police aggression, which was expected.

It is the methods and tactics used by protesters to keep one another safe, effectively preventing any arrests or injuries. Let's take a closer look. 🧵

my baby cousins. their names are razan and nouran allouh. israeli tanks shot at and killed them while they were trying to fill a bucket with water inside the gates of their home. my uncle ahmad allouh, their father, went and lay between their bodies before he was shot and killed.

The nastiest thing about what the people of Congo are being subjected to is that so much of electronics overconsumption is due to planned obsolescence and repairability being undermined.

Amidst this mass catastrophe, I've been thinking about a quote from Toni Morrison where she says,
"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear."

“Atlanta is also under siege by an occupying force: Atlanta Police Dept. And they are currently building Cop City… Israel is literally training police on tactics how to terrorize & how to kill us better.”

UPDATE: Indigenous activists are now blocking the weapons shipment to Israel from leaving the Tacoma Port from the water.

The boat is still unable to leave the port.
