[Haymarket Books @haymarketbooks]

We need many more libraries and community centers and public organizing spaces to counteract capitalism’s drive to reduce the public sphere to for-profit social industry platforms, where attention is commodified.

[Hoda Katebi هدی کاتبی @hodakatebi]

Oh yes 😎 have an entire library of free incredible books and companion community discussions & resources at @becauseweveread!! (https://t.co/N5Ih7dZu5u)

[Salem Barahmeh @Barahmeh]

Today, 800 Palestinians in Silwan are facing imminent forcible displacement from their homes. Make no mistake, this is mass ethnic cleansing of one people to make room for another. Who’s behind this? Israeli settlers, the Israeli government & Israeli courts. This is Apartheid.

[suhayl @ibnalyyaman]

All violence mechanisms of policing, surveillance and torturous methods have first been tried and tested on minorities and most times Muslim communities. This is why actively engaging with trans-national solidarity & internationalist ideology is imperative in demanding liberation

[suhayl @ibnalyyaman]

Look at Mombasa repping last frame 🙌🏾🇵🇸 trans-national solidarity is a portal to liberation!!!

[Laila El-Haddad @gazamom]

Repeat after me: #Gaza does not need your pity, it needs your advocacy and understanding. It does not need a ceasefire, it needs a cease-siege and cease-occupation. Our people do not need food aid, they need their freedom.

[Afro-Palestine Forum (Afropal) @AfroPal_Forum]

Happening Now: South African dock workers have refused to offload an Israeli cargo ship and are now protesting at the harbour in support of #Palestine. #DockWorkersWithPalestine #FreePalestine

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

Not even a day after they agreed to a ceasefire, the Israeli occupation forces are currently firing rubber-coated bullets at worshippers in Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound. Are you planning your next protest? #SaveSheikhJarrah

[Jalal 𓂆 @JalalAK_jojo]

Al-Aqsa right now. #Jerusalem
