people always ask me what i they can do and the answer is, of course, different for everyone but I think a good place to start is efforts like this, workers in SC are trying to shut down a plant making munitions killing people in Gaza & Lebanon. Sarah visited their May Day Action
I write to you now about something I witnessed during the genocidal war in Gaza, and I will never forget it for as long as I live.
We were displaced inside a UNRWA school in northern Gaza. On that day, Israeli soldiers stormed the school and ordered all the young men to come out without clothes, so we came out naked, under humiliation and fear.
After that, they began taking some of us on a truck for arrest, while others were kept in a temporary enclosed place, and I was among them.
There was a young man who was the only son of his mother. He did not come out with us, because his mother held onto him and was afraid for him. When the soldiers came to search the place, they pulled him from her arms while she begged them and screamed:
“Please… leave him.”
But before my eyes, they shot her directly in the head, then arrested her son as well.
It is a scene I can never forget.
How much humiliation and suffering we have endured in this war…
My heart is full of pain. 💔
Palestinians in Gaza feel forgotten - and they’re right. Donations dropped drastically and the media barely mentions Gaza and when it does it’s censored and full of fake news. Please help today: https://t.co/6l9JFjXgdv
Palestinians are having fist fights to get bread to eat. Food is too expensive for most people to buy. Many children remain malnourished. The situation is beyond tragic and Palestinians in Gaza are being killed slowly while the world remains silent.
The Sameer Project bakery is trying to tackle the bread issue by doing daily distributions in displacement camps. On April 22nd, we gave out 150 bags of bread to Salam Camp and 70 bags to Kanz Camp in Gaza City. 20 bags were distributed to surrounding tents. The 240 bags cost $677, including the 11% commission.
For around $3, you provide a family in Gaza with a bag of bread that is enough for a large family for the day or for a small family for two days. During the famine last summer, a bag of bread was a dream - please help us feed Palestinians in Gaza.

Most ppl don’t realize that even $3 can make this much of a difference right now in Gz. This is not all that we should be doing, it is the bare bare minimum but ppl must be kept alive while the fight continues. If you’re seeing this and have $3 in your account, donate $3.
Humbled to share the cover of my forthcoming book.
A project born of heartbreak, urgency, and the unbearable reality of watching Israel’s genocide against Palestinians unfold in real time.
A lot of white journalists aren’t worried about the brown journalist being murdered because they think white supremacy will keep them safe. They are wrong
In just one month, these Lebanese journalists were killed by Israeli strikes while doing their jobs. Their voices were silenced, but their work remains. 🕯️
had to zoom in on that price but, surprisingly, they're free!
a free mask vending machine in public places is such a good idea. libraries, school, grocery stores, gyms, etc. imagine if we lived in a functioning society that cared for its current and future health....
People aren't natural disasters—they aren't bugs, they aren't swarms, they're people
Our economy is built on an underclass of people without human rights and that lowers all of our wages
The money is at the top, not the bottom, ffs
So the FNM just going full racism then? This is what they're doing in this political climate?
I can't vote for this. Period. And they are spending a fuckton on these ads because they show up on every post on https://t.co/vTnOl9aSAS and I'm sure other places—via google of course

Doing this to a group thats literally JUST proven their ability and willingness to murder civilians is incredibly brave. If you can’t understand that there’s no hope for you.
UNIFIL: “This morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fired on UNIFIL peacekeepers from a Merkava tank from near a position Israel has established in Lebanese territory.
Heavy machine gun rounds hit approximately five meters from the peacekeepers, who were on foot and had to take shelter in the terrain.
Peacekeepers asked for the IDF to stop firing through UNIFIL’s liaison channels. They were able to leave safely thirty minutes later, when the Merkava tank withdrew inside the IDF position. Fortunately, no one was injured.
This represents a serious violation of Security Council resolution 1701.
Yet again, we call on the IDF to cease any aggressive behavior and attacks on or near peacekeepers, who are working to support the return to the stability that both Israel and Lebanon say they seek.”
