Just because there’s a ceasefire, doesn’t mean the death & destruction has ended, doesn’t mean the blockade is lifted, doesn’t mean those who lost their entires families will be rectified. We must continue to our campaign to end the brutal siege and colonialism. #FreePalestine.

Tomorrow 15 May, Palestinians will be marking the ongoing Nakba. We have lived through ethnic cleansing, colonisation and military brutality long enough #GazaUnderAttack #SaveSheikhJarrah

[Rafeef Ziadah @RafeefZiadah]

Ultimately the protests across historic Palestine and by refugees outside show that despite 73 years of trying to erase and fragment the Palestinian people - we exist, resist and will return. #GazaUnderAttack #OngoingNakba

Free, free Palestine! Thank you Sydney #FreePalestine

Solidarity will save us. Here’s to a continued global uprising for freedom that echoes and extends righteous, collective struggle of our elders against colonialism and oppression in all its forms. We are the multitude. Palestine will be free.

I often talk about adding alt text to images, but I never actually talk about what makes good alt text, for people who are unsure. So here's my perspective as a sighted person who sometimes uses a screen reader.

Tips for writing alt text for images and gifs:

I am so angry at @instagram for censoring and silencing Indigenous voices by deleting our posts about MMIWGT2S. You are contributing to the erasure of the issues we are trying to amplify and expose.

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

IG deleting #MMIWG2S posts on Red Dress Day calling for justice for missing & murdered Indigenous women, girls & two spirit people, as well as IG deleting posts about ethnic cleansing of #SheikhJarrah & suspending Palestinian accounts tells u everything about colonial censorship.

Hey @JustinTrudeau Canada needs to be next!

[Namrata Tilokani @ntilokani]

@CanadianPM I urge you to consider the global inequities of this vaccine, and to sign on to the #TRIPSwaiver. Big Pharma should not profit over people's lives. If the US can sign on, we can too.

[Trade Justice Network @TradeJusticeNet]

Excellent news & we know this is because of the fearless leadership from activists and civil society across the world who have been working to get govts to support the #TRIPSwaiver and a #PeoplesVaccine! 🙏

[Shailly Gupta @Shaillytweeting]

This is epic. Unbelievable! US supports #TRIPSwaiver. Now it’s time for EU, Canada and others to support. Indeed unprecedented times require unprecedented efforts. Thanks @USTradeRep45

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

The United States just announced support to waive IP protections on #COVID19 vaccines.

Canada must now do the right thing by supporting the #TRIPSwaiver on vaccine IP rights.

Everyone deserves access to a vaccine.

RT if you agree that Canada must put lives over profits.

On National Awareness Day for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls remember that police are perpetrators of sexualized violence against Indigenous women & girls too. This was largely left untouched by the National Inquiry but remains critical issue. #MMIWG #cdnpoli
