What’s often underreported is that climate change is largely driven by the excessive consumption and resource use of the wealthiest individuals and corporations.

🚨BREAKING🚨
CHIQUITA BANANA HELD LIABLE BY U.S. JURY FOR FUNDING PARAMILITARY ABUSE IN COLOMBIA.

This may be the first time that a U.S. corporation has been held liable by a U.S. jury for human rights violations abroad.

This is a truly massive victory for trans people in Florida. The law there targeting trans youth and adults has been almost entirely overturned. Something big is happening, and I’m going to write more on this later.

These universities refuse to go hybrid for covid, they make it nearly impossible to get a hybrid accommodation for a disability... but as soon as they're trying to shut down protests for a free palestine they're on zoom so damn fast

Given the proportion of fat people in the US, every single film and TV show should have multiple fat leads. Anything else is willful erasure.

We welcome all boycotts of companies complicit in Israeli apartheid & in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. However, we specifically ask you to follow & amplify the call to boycott @PUMA, @AXA, @HP, @Siemens, @CarrefourGroup, #Sodastream, #Ahava & Israeli produce.

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

Targeting complicit companies can help stop Israel’s #GazaGenocide.

#BDS calls for a boycott of Israeli and international companies that are complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza, apartheid and other violations of Palestinian human rights.

We are having this conversation to distract from the *actual and ongoing* genocide of the Palestinian people, which the US Congress is facilitating

[rasha abdulhadi @rashaabdulhadi]

International law was created by colonial & imperial powers to avoid wars between club members.

It has never been a constraint on colonization or annexation, and it is not a tool for liberation.

[Mouin Rabbani @MouinRabbani]

The United States is much less responsive to popular pressures due to its more superficial democracy, in which the political class is bought and paid for by the donor class.

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

What this means is when you hear about the NYPD aggressing without cause against these demonstrators, you’re already primed to conclude there was cause, that they were violent, that they did something — because you were told early on that this radical group was plotting violence.

People in Gaza want a ceasefire and are not getting our humanitarian relief. If your capacity right now is only for donating, I suggest one of the following: 🧵

[Jewish Voice for Peace Action @JvpAction]

The full phrase is "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free."

If you believe that freedom for Palestinians means eradicating Jews, it says more about you than anyone else.

Stop trying to tell Palestinians what they mean when they call for freedom.

[Jordy Silverstein @jordana_s_]

we need to be clear that jews don't have more authority to speak out in this moment - our words are not more important. defs not! we say what we say to add our voices to the chorus led by Palestinians, but i hope that everyone is first and foremost listening to Palestinians!

Fascism can’t create safety. It can’t protect people. White supremacy promise marginalized groups that they’ll be safe if they join with it against still more marginalized people — and this works, until it doesn’t. Until it’s you under the boot.

Only justice can create safety.

Israeli police on Wednesday raided the anti-Zionist Jewish neighborhood in occupied #Jerusalem to take down Palestinian flags and brutally attacked anti-Zionist Jews, knocking them down on the road, hitting, and punching them in the face.

As a Palestinian, I ask you to focus on political actions. Your donations will not enter Gaza now. Mobilise, write, share, have conversations, speak up, organise, and push for an end to this mass killing of civilians. This should be the focus now, not your donations please 🙏🏽

[Asa Winstanley @AsaWinstanley]

An Israeli woman who survived the Hamas assault on settlements near the Gaza boundary on 7 October says Israeli civilians were “undoubtedly” killed by their own security forces.

“They eliminated everyone, including the hostages,” she told Israeli radio:

Israel has turned the Gaza Strip into the largest concentration camp with the largest population of prisoners in the world, and called it "withdrawal," writes @haidareid in Gaza https://t.co/6mW9TpYCcQ
