The disabled people’s movement has long argued that preventing people from meeting their needs is disabling. Restrictions imposed on people in the immigration system disable people with existing impairments and create new impairments 1/7

Solidarity to all those facing down the IOF on the Madleen and to all those facing down ICE in LA. Two fronts, one moment, full of resistance, courage, and hope for a new world. Our eyes and hearts are with you.

[Hind Khoudary @Hind_Gaza]

I honestly don’t know how I keep doing this every day. I’ve never felt this emotionally drained—not even at the beginning of the war. I’m dehydrated, barely sleeping, and my heart feels shattered into pieces.

But you still hear me, no?

Violent explosions. Terrifying, intense, low-flying warplanes have been hovering over the Gaza Strip for more than half an hour.

Last week was the latest pre-trial hearing for my daughter & the Filton 18. All are charged in connection with direct action against Israeli weapons factory Elbit Systems in Bristol, where 6 of them damaged quadcopter drones of the kind seen used in Gaza. A thread... 1/

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

I have been spending a generous amount of time asking queer people (mainly from Ghana and Nigeria) questions about chosen families and what it means to them.

From today till Sunday at 8pm I’ll share some of the responses I got on queer family making!

Robin DG Kelley on the poetry of @aja_monet (1:05:33)

"This is what makes the poems so powerful and dangerous. Like violets pushing through concrete to kiss the sun, or unarmed people, arms locked, chanting and singing, forcing armies to retreat."

🚨BREAKING- Israeli army officially declares expansion of operations across the entire district of Jenin (this is after destroying Jenin refugee camp where Operation Iron Wall began 35 days ago)

This is full military takeover of Jenin, north of the West Bank.

1/2🚨 Tunisia’s mass deportation of #Tunisians from Italy accelerated this weekend—nearly 10 flights in 2 days, yet only one from #Palermo was trackable on flight radar.
Local monotoring team confirmed it today. Behind the picturesque views you see the reality is brutal:

[Maurice Stierl @MauriceStierl]

The scary targeting of activists and migrant rights defenders continues. Also David Yambio, co-founder of @RefugeesinLibya and close friend and ally, was targeted in a spyware attack. All solidarity with you @DavidYambio!!
