I want to post to bring attention to a fundraiser for 36 year old Falestine. Her baby Yousef born into this ongoing genocide and has known nothing but the sound of bombs in his young ears.

@maoisthnvx_25 I have nothing to say more succientñy but you've been consistently having pretty nuanced and good takes about this topic and all the threads therein. I wish I had something more to add but honestly this discourse is just like making my bp rise 😭 grateful for your perspectives
i don't think dsa should worry about pandering to people who were laughing about a guy getting evicted by his jewish family while sick with leukemia because he became deeply invested in palestine solidarity activism. imho
This would be fair, if you've actually changed your views. But you spent a large part of the genocide concern-trolling solidarity with Palestinians, repping French Zionist groups and so on.
The last thing I will ever do or allow is the suggestion that our martyrs' murders are little more than nature running its course. Each killing is a decision that could have been rejected, and each martyr is sacrificed on the altar of their killer's will. We must impose our own.
To say jews are inherently genocidal is to apologize for them. No one is born with a natural inclination to murder babies. That is a conscious and intentional choice they make, individually and collective, which no force on earth compels them to make other than their own will.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the collapse in Flatbush. I grew up in Brooklyn, and I still can’t get over the fact that every single person who died was younger than me. Two were children. I keep thinking about their families waiting to hear whether someone they loved was still alive.
I thought of Gaza when I heard that people were trapped under the rubble. For years, we’ve watched Palestinian families dig through what used to be their homes while people in power here defend Israel’s bombing and expect us to go on with our lives. I think that has consequences here too. Every time we’re asked to accept that somebody else’s family is an acceptable loss, it gets easier for people in power to make that same calculation again.
In Flatbush, inspectors found that demolition went ahead even after the city ordered it to stop. Black and brown New Yorkers know how hard it can be to get the city to take their safety seriously while there’s still time to do something about it. The families in Flatbush deserve to know who had the power to keep their loved ones safe and why the city’s own order couldn’t keep that work from going ahead.
I think the OOT remake crawls out of "pointless remake" hell with its approach to "being deeper, but not wider". All the graphics and 60 fps are nice. But what really sold me and made me want to not only beat the game for the first time but also 100% it was all the extra life. ->
i'm very anti-remake most of the time, but i noticed how this being a really good remake that's better than the previous remaster by leaps and bounds is breaking a lot of people. they're desperate in that there are No good remakes, EVER
it's not mutually exclusive...
