IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th.
231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.
I've read a lot about how the experience of Palestinians resonates with Black South African's experience of apartheid. What has struck me when looking at Israel are all the resonances with white South African society during apartheid . A 🧵 of a few resonances:
Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
My heart is with the Kenyan youth today & always.
In Octavia Butler's words:
'All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change.'

It’s so beautiful watching years of hating and praying for the downfall of ANC happen in real time. This one is for my real, long term, resilient, no short term memory haters out there ❤️
Israel is committing some of the worst atrocities of our age, live-streamed on a daily basis.
The politicians and media outlets who facilitated this obscenity must be held to account.
Israel does this because it believes it will be allowed to. It is correct.
