My young cousin came out as gay recently and everyone in our extended family is pissed off except for my mom and dad .So this elderly aunt called mom and said "I'm praying for him to change" and mom replied "your husband has been a serial molester for years and the whole family is scared of him but you never prayed for him to change " .She disconnected the call and I don't think she will call back again .

Sudan, Congo, and Tigray have been experiencing and fighting genocide all this time y’all have been acting like you didn’t know your Western governments are actively funding the slaughter.
Your silence indicts you.
Academics should be screaming right now, especially those who call themselves decolonial thinkers. The bombing of universities is a deliberate act to destroy the future of any Palestinians who survive the genocide. It is a deliberate act to force them to move elsewhere if they
