What does it mean to continue our day when children are being beheaded & displaced ppl are being burned alive? What does it say about our society that we can compartmentalize 8 months of monstrous, traumatizing, murderous action but not disrupt our everyday life to make it stop?
It’s never spelled out – and I think it should be – that since 1948, 95% of all casualties in Israel and Palestine have been one side of the conflict. Since October 7, that rises to 98%.
Seeing mighty mega corps like these confess BDS has meaningfully hurt them really subverts the cliche that there’s “no ethical consumption under capitalism”. Knowing that your efforts are having an impact should strengthen your resolve. Today is a good day to keep boycotting.

The British Medical Association says the Government has wasted £3,000,000,000 on junior doctor strikes — more than double the cost of settling their whole claim.
Failure to negotiate is costly.
Just so you understand the sheer scale of the tragedy that's occuring in Gaza: the current famine is "the highest number of people ever recorded as facing catastrophic hunger by the IPC system."
Worse than Darfur, worse than Somalia, worse than Yemen. And entirely man-made.
there are so many memes about him, but Stilgar is genuinely the most tragic and heartbreaking character in Dune 2 imo. that final shot of him zealously waving fighters onto a ship to fight a war across the stars, thereby losing all sense of identity, cuts straight to the heart
