We should always name the perpetrators. In this case it is SAF. It’s the least we owe the loved ones of those killed in this unconscionable bombing of a busy market in Nyala.

So far we have $166 and that is what I will be sending on Thursday. If anything more comes that will be really helpful if not the kitchen will stop when they no longer have funds.

@BSonblast if "wasnt me" was a person...

everybody is tallying laureates, naming inventions & recounting literary works in an attempt to prove him wrong. that's exactly the point: distraction, frustration & outrage. the trouble for him is that Islamophobia is no longer working the way it used to...& he / they're scared.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Regardless of what happens today we will still face bombing, hunger and still be under siege.

hopefully, if/when Netanyahu loses, the myth propagated by liberals that he alone is the problem, & not merely a symptom of a systemic genocidal logic, will die...

tbh, it is not for nothing that Marx said "workers of the world unite!"...capital knows no borders & neither does fascism (capital's logical end)...

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Earnest take: I think it’s probably not healthy for the practice of democratic self-government that so many people have developed strong rooting interests in elections in countries they don’t live in.

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: https://t.co/Is4zFAQqc6

voting for Lana Nusseibeh as SG to advance "women's empowerment" in the UN is fem-washing. the UAE loves to use women as props to hide its neocolonialism by appealing to liberal ideals of representation. no one cares that she's a woman, we care that she is promoting genocide...

[Munchkin @BSonblast]

Muammar Ibrahim was the voice of Elfashir, the loudest journalistic voice reporting out of the city.

Not only did he report on the realities of the 18-month siege, he lived them, wasting away as the RSF starved & choked the life out of Elfashir.

yall are way too broke to be this afraid of socialism

[Dr. CBS @drcbs_]

Neither people’s democracy nor the threat of fasc*sm can be reduced to one octogenarian. Fight on.

[Nesrine Malik @NesrineMalik]

‘The contempt for the Sudanese victims of the UAE is exceptionally bewildering even in an era of outrages. Nusseibeh’s appointment can only be secured by stepping over the dead, and turning backs on the living.’

[K.Diallo ☭ @nyeusi_waasi]

Lula da Silva with Prof Samir Amin #RIP. I believe this meeting took place in 1999 under the auspices of the Frente de Esquerda in Brazil.

[Nesrine Malik @NesrineMalik]

‘The appointment of Nusseibeh, who has been the face of the UAE’s Sudan strategy, would be a slap in the face to the millions of people suffering the horrors of war, and a dereliction of duty towards those thousands who have already been killed.’

the siege of El-Fasher should have been a turning point in the war in Sudan / it should have been enough to indict the UAE & RSF / a city held under siege for over 500 days (ending in Oct 25')--ppl malnourished, murdered & raped / instead it was an event that passed w/o incident

[Girth Vader II @lovvewolf]

Elon Musk found us here. We’re indigenous to this land.

[Nesrine Malik @NesrineMalik]

I know up is down these days but serenading the UN for a position when you undermined the same institution and rejected the UN Panel of Experts’ findings on UAE links to the RSF to run cover for your government’s calamitous role in Sudan’s war is an outrage and an insult.

[Nafisa Eltahir @nafisaeltahir]

Yet Sudan's gov says they don't expect a bad harvest, continuing a trend of denying famine because of the foreign attention it invites. Aid budgets are too small to cope anyways.

As the country produces less, and is able to imoprt less, we are heading for a nationwide disaster.
