If you're looking for a Pride Month reading recommendation, i would like to shout out Christopher Chitty's 'Sexual Hegemony.' Hell, it's probably time i did a reread!
They beat men for having a translator. Gassed them. Then cleaned the blood off the floors hoping no one would find out. But HE CALLED. We heard it.
We’re not letting this disappear. The world will know what’s happening inside Delaney Hall. #ShutDownDelaneyHall
Last year, when I was in southern Lebanon, I found a man whose home was similarly used as a base by occupying Israeli military soldiers. When the soldiers were finished, they lit the house on fire, making the first floor entirely unlivable and spray painted Hebrew on the walls:
I don't think enough of us jews have confronted the reality that israel should be dismantled andd have its entire political, military, media leadership executed and its remaining populace placed in years-long rehabilitation until they're fit to transition into normal society
This is an important story.
It's also important to note that there's another international fascist summit taking place in new york city right now attended by many US politicians from both sides of the aisle and that this conference holds significantly more sway over US politics
We are rightfully terrified of far-right conferences advocating for the ethnic cleansing of Europe & America. We should be equally if not more terrified of an actually existing mature fascist state holding a pride parade in NYC & what that says about the direction of our world
Around 500 detainees are on hunger strike in five detention centers

Hi, thankfully, all of the people who sailed with GSF, myself included, were released this morning after extremely severe abuse and mistreatment by the Israelis, from the container ship prison boat to Ashdod port to Kitziot.
There is much more to report and say about our detainment, but I can say it's worse than ive experienced across my times in Israeli custody.
If they can do these heinous things to us, just imagine what they can and been documented doing to Palestinians---every day and without accountability.
GSF participants spent the whole day giving legal testimony, getting full physicals and blood and urine testing, and receiving medical care. More soon. Will be taking and reporting testimonies and sharing more of my experience.
