throwing it back melancholy

[Shomi 🦋 WNC @Shomicita]

Mental Health Hygiene is easy to overlook, especially nowadays amidst so much crises. There’s been a shift and the social climate has changed as a result of neglect of the intangible. These are reminders I constantly find myself telling clients, friends and myself:

[Monisha Rajesh 🍉 @monisha_rajesh]

This is one of the most disrespectful, downright disgusting displays of mockery of a sitting MP. A bunch of white people sneering and talking over a Muslim politician discussing the seriousness of racism - fuelled by their peers

[Elaine Scattermoon @scattermoon]

It really is transparent that after years of calling Corbynism "a hate movement" and anti-genocide-in-Gaza protests "violent mobs", the British press has absolutely no idea to respond to actual racist pogroms, especially given they inspired them for years with anti-migrant hate.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

We are facing violent racist attacks, attempted lynchings, in broad daylight, in real time.

Packs of far right thugs are literally going around, prowling our streets beating up Black, Muslim, and/or refugees. The media is still falsely calling this protest.

It is fascism

[thediyora.bluesky.social @thediyora]

We’ve now had verified reports of Muslims being punched, stabbed and attacked with acid in England in the space of a few days. What do you even say at this point. This is so scary and yet politicians remain silent.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

One of the bleakest aspects of Gaza coverage in the West is the continued use of wildly outdated death figures.

Nobody believes that the death toll has stayed at 39,000 for months on end.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians who were erased in life are now being erased in death.

Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

To be clear: Imane Khelif is a cis woman. She is simply a victim of attempts to chase trans women out of sports through supposed "objective" criteria for womanhood, that inevitably come back to harm both trans and cis women.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Netanyahu's speech to Congress was one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. A series of lies and an endless stream of genocidal propaganda, and the vast majority of these politicians just stood up and clapped at every single line. Genocidal freaks, all of them.

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

I think Netanyahu's speech, the footage of white American politicians standing on their feet to cheer for genocide, apartheid, and racism, is actually going to be the clearest historical document of our time. It will be cited for generations to disgrace the names of this Congress and this President.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

BREAKING: scientists now fully expect global warming levels severe enough to harm all sectors of civilization including food and water within a decade or two as the world's biggest all-time emitters the US and UK refuse to stop fossil fuel expansion 🧵

first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”

she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”

when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country

when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn

what is “reassurance”, in this place ?

rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey

[Melissa Sigodo @melissasigodo]

Rest in peace Sonya Massey.

[Lauren McKenzie @TheMcKenziest]

Not gonna lie- it’s absolutely soul-shattering seeing how many people simply just don’t seem to give a fuck about the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

[“ @frostedflake]

the reason why #Sayhername is so important. For black women like sonya . For every black woman whose death at the hands of cops gets thrown under the rug . SAY HER NAME !

[Tianna, the Writer @tiannathewriter]

The story of Hind Rajab will live within me until the day that I die. I will always be angry on her behalf. I'll always be disgusted.

[Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB @GhassanAbuSitt1]

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The Lancet - the most prestigious medical journal in the world - conservatively estimates that the death toll in Gaza could be 186,000 or more.

That’s 8% of the population.

I repeat my longstanding call for the UK government to immediately end all arms sales to Israel.

[Mustafa @MustafaThePoet]

London! Sudan is calling. Gaza is calling. Every artist here is a hero of empathy, thank you for answering our call. Tickets are on sale at https://t.co/lSPRZ0LQ9R at 5pm today. There is a war, strike a chord, cry an answer.

[Noodin @wiigwaasjacko]

150,000 Sudanese people killed after nearly fourteen months of continuous genocidal aggression and war. two and a half million projected to die by september as a result of manufactured famine. rage and resist on behalf of Sudan
