BREAKING :

They are forcing us to watch spectacles of death so we feel hopeless & become selfish in our complicity. In the face of this, insisting on life-disabled life, 'guilty' life, poor life, Indigenous life, Black life, Arab life, all the wretched of the earth-as precious, is our task.

A lot of people in the US don’t seem to know what Israel did to Palestinians before Oct 7. Here is a quick rundown.🧵

Ilhan Omar: "If you really wanted a ceasefire, you'd just stop sending the weapons. It is that simple"

Spot on.

Obama turned Libya from the country that had the highest standard of living in Africa into a war-torn failed state, and dropped so many bombs on Syria that he literally ran out of bombs. Yet some still portray him as a saint.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

It should terrify us all that this is how some react to hearing the names of Palestinian children who have been killed by our tax dollars.

We’re witnessing moral decay.

[Stefan Bradley @ProfSBradley]

It's August 9, and we remember #MikeBrown and #Ferguson. His death and the Uprising that young Black people led changed the world. Ten years later, we are still feeling the reverberations.

I am Abdullah from Gaza. I live next to death. I don't know when will be my last day. There was a bombing very close to me. I hope you will follow me and support me until the end. Raise my voice to the world. Do not forget about us. We are up against the world here. We need your help. Please follow me and share my account. It seems small to you but this will mean a lot to me. Reply to this tweet with a supportive message to keep me going.

If you're sick of hearing about G@za, imagine how sick they are of being mass murdered and starved to death.
