@JackTLadd Even worse: these (well-meaning, strategically foolish) people are *trying* to create a world in which someone who has the wherewithal to hire an IP lawyer can take commonly used symbols out of our collective ownership and put them behind a permissioned paywall.

#OtD 20 Nov 2013 Syrian anarchist Omar Aziz was arrested by secret police of dictator Bashar al-Assad. Aziz helped distribute supplies in besieged communities and co-founded the first directly democratic local council in Barzeh. He later died in custody

The extent to which Palestinians are dehumanized and their grief disrespected should shame the whole world

One of the first things you learn doing props in film school is to put weights in boxes so it doesn’t look like this when you move them lmao

Good morning

Thing is, *any* feed or search is "algorithmic." "Show me the things posted by people I follow in reverse-chronological order" is an algorithm. "Just show me products that have this SKU" is an algorithm. "Alphabetical sort" is an algorithm. "*Random* sort" is an algorithm.

#OtD 3 Nov 1918 a mutiny in Germany spread to Kiel, and ultimately ended WWI. Sailors refused to fight a suicidal offensive, and instead rebelled and raised red flags. Protests spread across the country and led to revolution. Learn more in this book: https://t.co/AU2HDjqKQy

The Israeli TV is saying that they killed 7546 “terrorists”.

I happen to know 14 of these terrorists.

These are my nieces and nephews whose age range between 1 to 13 years.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.

Chick-Fil-A is winning the on-demand economy. This is the scene right now at Flatbush/Barclays. Delivery drivers wagging their phones as if on the trading floor. 🐔🐓🍗

"Currently, these centres are using 20% of Ireland’s electricity capacity, soon rising to 30%.

A ceasefire is the immediate demand of the people in Gaza and the bare minimum. If you’re refusing to heed their calls because it’s a “liberal ask,” take a hard look at your breathing family. Look out your window: there is no white phosphorus. Consider the weight of 4651 killed.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Just as Hamas solved nothing with its atrocities against Israelis, the Israeli government solves nothing with its horrific mass punishment of Palestinians. There is never a justification for crimes against civilians.

[Rohan Talbot @rohantalbot]

Israel has now damaged or destroyed 42% of all housing units in #Gaza.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

58% of Britons think there should be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

18% think there should probably be.

Just 3% think definitely not.

That 3% is the position of Labour, the Tories and most newspapers.

Totally out of touch with public opinion.

Ceasefire now!

1/The anti-protest legislation being used to arrest and jail climate activists, like @GretaThunberg this week, was essentially drafted by think tank Policy Exchange

Rishi Sunak publicly thanked them for it

Policy Exchange is funded by oil companies

[Joseph Cox @josephfcox]

New from 404 Media: Instagram has been auto-translating phrases that included "Palestinian" into phrases that say "terrorist". Instagram now ‘sincerely apologizes’ in a statement to us https://t.co/AfFxlGBjMU

[Ben Ehrenreich @BenEhrenreich]

Editors of good conscience: please make a greater than usual effort to publish actual Palestinians right now. Friends in Ramallah are telling me they can’t place pieces in US outlets. If you need help finding writers, DM me and I’ll send contacts.

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

It is a stunning indictment of the western media discourse on this, which is filled with belligerency, that some of the most powerful statements against the continued war on Gaza are coming from Israelis who've lost relatives in the last few days.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

If the whole of Glasgow was told to leave the city whilst under heavy bombardment, with the fleeing civilian convoys being bombed, with no guarantee they can ever return home again, I doubt we’d be prevaricating over whether that’s a war crime or not.
