I’m going to try to explain this fully on @FTFonFS1 on Monday, but I truly don’t think any losing team has ever come closer to winning the World Series—literally or figuratively—than the Blue Jays just did.

Just as gutting as a series loss as you’ll ever see in sports.

Some people only have time for long reads on the weekend so I'm sharing what may be the most important article of this blood-soaked onslaught:

"'A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza" https://t.co/xLOEWr7rpy

when my heart breaks - i am told, "turn off your tv" "log off your phone"

no. I will not turn away from genocide.
no. I will not turn away from genocide.
no. I will not turn away from genocide.

Happening now in DC: the largest Jewish protest in solidarity with Palestinians in U.S. history.

@ericavioletlee the crime of thought.

[Marlena Dang Nguyen (She/Her/Theirs) @mdangn]

Where are your statements against violence now? I see empty statements calling for #peace. Peace for whom? We fight for #liberation not peace. Peace is the White mans word. There can be no peace for all until we have liberation for all. #FreePalestine

[MSF International @MSF]

We are horrified by the recent Israeli bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed. This is a massacre. It is absolutely unacceptable...

"Black feminists such as Angela Y. Davis, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, June Jordan, Toni Morrison, Barbara Ransby, Margo Okazawa-Rey, Beverly Guy-Sheftall, and countless others have made it crystal clear about their solidarity and commitments to Palestine."

[Marlena Dang Nguyen (She/Her/Theirs) @mdangn]

The silence is deafening. Where are the posts condemning Israel for their use of white phosphorus against civilians? None. Israel’s actions are viewed as justified.

Look in the mirror.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

BREAKING: Israel has used white phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at risk of serious and long-term injuries.

White phosphorus causes excruciating burns and can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful.

Gigi Hadid has just issued this statement.

Her sister Bella, who has been a very vocal advocate for the Palestinian people in the past, has not issued a statement yet.

Gigi and Bella’s father is Palestinian.

I don’t go on Twitter much, and today I was reminded why. Ppl literally be acting UNhinged on this platform.

[Sahra Soudi @bolshevikbaddie]

Sarah is the only elected official across all levels of governments to come out and say the right thing. To not be moved by fear but by her commitments to justice, peace, and human rights. We need to protect her and uplift these demands.

[Marlena Dang Nguyen (She/Her/Theirs) @mdangn]

If you pick and choose when to take a "stance against injustice" than your stance is not rooted in morals and ethics but on biases that have contributed to creating the power vacuum that has enabled Hamas to exist.

[Marlena Dang Nguyen (She/Her/Theirs) @mdangn]

On #Palestine and #Israel context matters. always. you don't get to choose when it matters just to conveniently fit your narrative.

[Marlena Dang Nguyen (She/Her/Theirs) @mdangn]

If your statements against "all forms of violence" when Hamas attacks Israel were absent during the decades of Israeli bombing, blockades and genocide - then you cannot claim that you are against all forms of violence.

[Farah Nasser @FarahNasser]

Recognizing the suffering of one side does not negate the suffering of the other. Peace is not a zero-sum game.
