And all of this means nothing. Isn't that wonderful

[Alaa From Gaza @alaafromgaza92]

They Said...

If a settler comes to your land, carrying his rifle more heavily than his humanity,

do not raise your voice.
Do not raise your hands.
Do not defend the home where you first learned your own name.

Let him uproot the olive tree.
Let him break down the door.
Let him carve his name into your walls.

Then, if you must weep, weep softly, lest you be accused of disturbing the world's peace.

And if you die,
die quietly, so the evening news can keep its tidy headlines.

For in this age,
the victim is not expected to survive.
Only to master the art of dying without troubling anyone's conscience.

I’ve been in the same room as Jaylen Brown on multiple occasions. I have never once felt like he thought he was above everyone else. I never once felt he disrespected anyone. My experience is he’s been nothing but a class act.

What a film!! Burt Lancaster is so good in this it's not even fair. It's just bonkers. Tony Curtis is damn good too. He's no slouch, surely it's intimidating to share a scene with Burt Lancaster.

Duke Ellington was born on this day April 29, 1899. In 1962, Duke went into the studio with Charles Mingus & Max Roach to record "Money Jungle" for United Artists, an album that captured 3 masters engaged in fearless music-making of the highest order: https://t.co/DUlYC6rnhB

For everyone asking how to support me now, help me sue these Zionists and everyone aligned with them so they can stop inciting violence against Palestinian activists.

What makes me sad seeing photos like this & of the NASA astronauts is, you must understand, these athletes didn’t just spontaneously all decide to mask. They’re being forced to mask bc richer ppl have a stake in their bodies & health. Their health has value. Yours doesn’t.
