[Fathima Cader @ficader]

every single one of these stories feels like a devastation of not only death but an unfathomable love in the face of unspeakable horror. ya rabb, courage in their name.

[mohammed hussein~Gaza 🇵🇸 @mohammedIhysse]

I am writing to you about a conversation that took place with one of the people under the rubble of his bombed home. Unfortunately, this is what happens to us every day in Gaza...

[West Coast LEAF @WestCoast_LEAF]

West Coast LEAF stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the face of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. As we bear witness to this genocide with horror, rage, and heartbreak, we cannot remain silent. Read the full statement: (1/3)

u should be allowed to skip work if ur unemployed friend wants to “go on an adventure”

[Fathima Cader @ficader]

@m_myglory This is excellent, moving. Both bracing and affirming to read for the many of us who are contending with shifts in our friendships and community in the face of escalating genocide. Thank you.

cannot stress enough how much my goal in life is to be a corner store uncle

[Mohammad @MargBarAmerica]

this is a corner store uncle. spends every evening smoking marlboro golds and drinking tea with sweaty men outside the store, then you find out one day he’s an electrical engineer or olympic marksman

[🔻 @atlajala]

we desperately need more movement histories which study much loved radical projects that utterly failed. analyzing why & chronicling this w/ honest critique to build towards something better. we need this done not only by enemies but by people who sincerely believe(d) in them.

so beautiful to me that TTC wait times don’t actually mean anything and are shown purely to make us question our own understanding of how time flows. is four minutes really four minutes or is it 10 minutes? is it 23 seconds? that’s for us to discover together

[Fathima Cader @ficader]

Amid the devastation of war in Sudan (& its long roots, as mapped out in this piece, implicating UAE, Russia, Israel, Egypt & more), the resistance committees persist as profoundly moving eg of grassroots courage & solidarity. We take serious note of their transformative model.

[Fathima Cader @ficader]

"Will it be a peace based on power sharing between military and civilian elites, which will only temporarily halt the violence, or a true peace built on justice and a new bottom-up governance model that ... dismantles existing systems of elite power and systematic appropriation?"

[Fathima Cader @ficader]

"khalas ya habibi." not a lonely death but a life suffused in love, until the end. ya rabb, i do not know the words to this prayer. shoulder to shoulder, saf ala saf, may we close ranks around the dead and the disappeared, this endless and wretched janazah for a burning world.

[Fathima Cader @ficader]

"a lonely death." ya rabb
