So I'm trans and a lesbian and guess I should say something. I figured out what I was when I was a child, and still remember the moment, but didn't think I'd ever be able to do anything about it. Finally found a way, but it took decades. Never too late. Live and love as yourself

Devastated to hear about the passing of Assata Shakur. May her soul rest in eternal and perfect peace.

“This is hunger as never seen before,” an UNRWA team member in #Gaza describes the current situation.

Gaza has become a land of desperation.

The siege must be lifted, supplies must flow in, the hostages must be released, the #CeasefireNow must resume.

I know this administration is executing overt, immediate horrors but please keep your eye on what’s happening with libraries because it’s terrifying. These databases make high quality sources accessible to anyone with a library card. The research & educational losses are profound

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

I often tweet this list of every war the US fought from 1776-1900 taken out of an early-1900s encyclopedia because it really shows how the whole violent history of stealing land from Native Americans is whitewashed out of schools unlike the few highlighted wars they actually hit

@Rocko64_ Ethno-nationalism is fan fiction backed by capital, playing with archival puzzle pieces to fashion weaponizable half-truths into siren songs for the stupid sons of the petit bourgeoisie

What a staggering loss to endure, just to become an image the world finally stops to notice.

[‏Martyrs of Gaza @GazaMartyrs]

My name is Ahmad Al-Araeer, from Gaza, who is my mother’s first joy. I loved joking with people and I cherished the people in my life dearly, wanting to never place any judgment or malice towards them.

My sister, who knewI was always sensitive, always wished that no one would hurt me and worried for me greatly.

Maybe that’s why she left with me, as we were both martyred together on the 30th of September 2024, so she could keep me safe even in the afterlife. The Israeli occupation took us away from our mother, who prayed for us and always held us close to her.

[Sharif Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس @sharifkouddous]

At least 86 Palestinians killed in Gaza in the last 24 hours. 1,250 killed since resumption of Israel's scorched earth bombing on March 18. That's 73 killed a day. Over 280,000 have been forcibly re-displaced over the same period.

@wmnjoya More to the point, it was chattel slavery. The first coal mine in the US was close to the so-called Capitol of the Confederacy. Slaves dug coal until 1865 and "convict-leased" coal mining went on into the 20th century. The cotton spun in coal-powered mills was grown by slaves, &c

[Press TV 🔻 @PressTV]

Martin Luther King Jr., the famous African-American clergyman and vocal civil rights leader, was fatally shot at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968.

The anti-racism leader was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

@davidsirota This was akin to removing a Confederate monument; Strom Thurmond no longer holds the record for longest speech from the floor of the Senate. Well and good. Fuck Strom Thurmond. But removing memorials does not remove Jim Crow. The Senate must be abolished

Fossil-fuel-driven industrialization is a 20th Century strategy, so outsourcing your strategy to planners who are already dead, and that's assuming those resources are used to “power their industries and economies” rather than being sold on spot markets for short-term profit

[Kathambi | Pan-African 💫🌍❤️ @iamkathambi]

African nations with oil, gas, and (some coal) energy resources need to get it out of the ground, and power their industries and economies.

We need to stop outsourcing our thinking about Africa’s energy security to the West.

No country has ever developed on renewables. NONE.
