Palestine had one of the highest literacy rates. That was resistance. Targeting universities/schools, records, & educators is purposeful. It's scholasticide.
For so many scholars/institutions in the West to say nothing of our colleagues & future minds lost is immoral & unethical.
Fun people. I wanna laugh until it hurts. I wanna 'rock, paper, scissor' to decide where we eating. I wanna have dance battles and play fights. I wanna sing in grocery stores. Life has enough problems. I just want a joy-filled relationship.
In school I was shown this image. It was the white man killing all the buffalo to starve the Native Americans and force those who survived into reservations. Such cruelty was unimaginable to me.
It all makes sense now.
‘To be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time — and in one's work. And part of the rage is this: It isn't only what is happening to you. But it's what's happening all around you.’

I honestly don’t understand how *anyone* is ok with politicians writing messages on bombs that will fall on children.
Fuck you @Mike_Pence, and fuck everyone who thinks this is acceptable behaviour. You’re all fucking sick in the head.
BREAKING: Israel has now killed 11,833 Palestinian children in Gaza in 85 days.
11,833 children.
We’re going into 2024 amidst a US-Israeli genocide.
Don’t stop talking about Palestine 🇵🇸
White liberals are much more comfortable viewing Palestinians as objects of pity in need of aid than respecting them as agents of liberation teaching the entire world how to get free.
As Ahed Tamimi said, “I am a freedom fighter. I will not be the victim.”
Ahmed was filling the water containers on the roof of his house when the artillery shells his his house.
Israeli killed him
Israel killed my friends
Israel killed my life
Israel is killing my people
Israel is a terror piece of shit
I was in Rafah visiting a doctor because I couldn’t find the suitable treatment in my area.
I had no signal and I spent 3 hours resting for my turn to see the doctor.
I couldn’t even see him for the last time
I didn’t know that he passed because I had no phone signal
I even couldn’t tell him goodbye my friend
Or see you soon my dear
Before he was killed by a fellow subway passenger, Jordan Neely was one of the thousands of New Yorkers living on the city’s margins.

There's so many people I will not be taking into 2024.
I have watched you post memes, outfits of the day, your pets, funny tik tok videos, your Christmas shopping, Christmas decorations, every single bit of food you gorged on, on Christmas day.
But not a SINGLE thing about Gaza.
Goodbye. Don't think bout me, I won't be thinking bout you.
