catching up on this essential reading from Patrick Higgins in @penandmachete
haven't seen a more thorough/compelling overview of the situation in and around Palestine

🚨Trump-appointed, Israeli-born @USAttyChattah, who is shielding accused Israeli pedophile Tom Alexandrovich, has deleted her personal account @Chattah4Nevada with her most genocidal Zionist tweets. But Google retains the evidence. Who is she? https://t.co/NUbvOKYbMD
ADL Chief @JGreenblattADL: “I think there are questions we should ask right now. This candidate [@ZohranKMamdani] has visited churches and mosques, not a single synagogue.
This candidate has gone to Harlem to meet the Black community, Washington Heights to meet the Latino community, Chinatown to meet the Asian-American community, not once to a Jewish neighborhood.”

"I want people to know this is the fascist takeover of DC."

@factsandfire.
If you are in DC, pack the court in 500 Indiana Ave NW @ 1pm.
Otherwise share & assist for bail:

@_ericblanc You apparently keep missing this simple point: Most people are to the left of the seig heiling fascists running the entire country.
It's like for some mysterious reason people prefer them.
If you want to be fake so bad just drop the socialist thing and be the Dems you are.
The Democratic Party is the political organization responsible for causing the deaths of more socialists than any other.
Does the Party platform those who it destroys on an industrial, global scale?
Or is socialism in the Democratic Party a sick joke?
Socialists say they want to break with the Democratic Party. But that’s not a political strategy — it’s an outcome of political struggle.
We need a way to develop working-class politics without condemning ourselves to third-party marginality.

Democrats should stop pretending to be socialists. It's dumb. Just be the Democrats you are.
The Democratic party is very arguably and directly the force responsible for the deaths of more socialists than any other.
It's unseemly. Please, just be Democrats.
Various people responded to this by saying that most Americans' politics are incoherent, not to the right of DSA
Obviously popular incoherence is widespread. But it's also true that there's clear data showing that the vast majority of working people are to our political right 🧵
before i knew better, and i was campaigning for him (lol), i remember us all being in the volunteer slack when he conceded and saying "well, this isn't over, look at what we've built! we're organized now! we can turn this into something else!" and then they deleted the slack

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.
Anas Jamal Al-Sharif

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
Israel claimed responsibility for killing five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza, including Anas al-Sharif, in a strike on their media tent outside al-Shifa Hospital, bringing the total journalists killed to 237 since the war began.
