The occupation of Palestine is not a complex issue—but it can be hard to find good information. A thread of resources/toolkits/mutual aid links/etc.:

Just a reminder that in 2018, Palestinians in Gaza mounted the Great March of Return to show the world their plight. Day after day, they walked, unarmed, to Israel's military fences around Gaza. Israel shot 8,000 with live ammunition, killed 220 Palestinians. 36,143 total injured

Israelis are actively killed. Palestinians just magically die.

[Aaron Bady @zunguzungu]

one of the great propagandist successes is absolutely disappearing how many times Palestinians have tried to protest "the right way" and how it always goes the same way

[Diana Buttu @dianabuttu]

The fact that Israel can cut off the electricity supply to Gaza should tell you all you need to now about Israel’s crushing control over the lives of the people in Gaza. #FreePalestine

[Maureen Murphy @maureenclarem]

Palestinians cannot "invade" their own homeland

[Ayesha A. Siddiqi @AyeshaASiddiqi]

i don’t think enough Americans understand how literal it is when Palestinians describe what is happening to them. settler colonialism is not being used metaphorically. having their homes stolen is not just what it feels like it’s what it is.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

Wall-to-wall coverage of Israelis experiencing for a few hours what Palestinians have continuously experienced decade after decade is incredibly telling about the discrepancy in the value of human life in our corporate news.

Thanks to @ColumbusPolice who ensured the show was uninterrupted and everyone stayed safe. Thanks to the performers, including Virginia West, for their courage and commitment to love and acceptance over divisiveness and hate.

BREAKING: The Montana House, on a 68-32 vote, bans the state's first trans woman lawmaker, Rep. Zooey Zephyr, from the floor, anteroom, & gallery for the rest of this session, following several days of silencing her, after she raised her mic for supporters in the gallery Monday.

BREAKING: North Dakota’s Republican Gov. Doug Burgum has signed into law a ban on abortion at six weeks of pregnancy — even in cases of rape or incest. It's among the strictest abortion bans in the U.S. and takes effect immediately. https://t.co/smWXvkstWv

[Garnet Henderson garnethenderson.com on Bluesky @garnethenderson]

The anti-abortion movement is telling us where it’s headed next: Comstock. If Democrats were serious about protecting abortion access at all—at all—a bill to repeal Comstock would have been introduced last week and there’d be a full court press behind it.

A horrifying story of birth in Houston jail. "After almost 5 days in a quarantine cell, I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I went to medical w/ contractions 2 days in a row only to be turned away both times. Saying I was faking it or dehydrated." Thread:https://t.co/NBq0uZy3CD
