in honor of klay thompson’s return i had to bring back my all-time favorite klay moment, when he was stopped on the street to do a civilian interview about scaffolding for the local news
bell hooks made it clear that men also die from patriarchy. Tht patriarchy leaves men emotionally unequipped to deal with themselves or the world. She taught me that patriarchy is not innate, bt LEARNED & TAUGHT, sadly sometimes by mothers and sisters to their sons and brothers.
This is disgraceful and journalism organizations that exist to demand accountability and transparency of others must hold themselves to the same standards.
Yesterday Israel bombed and killed the closest cousin of another one of my friends. He was working on his clothing line and planning his wedding. His name was Raed Hamad. Sharing my friend Ahmed’s words. Please read them.
i don’t think enough Americans understand how literal it is when Palestinians describe what is happening to them. settler colonialism is not being used metaphorically. having their homes stolen is not just what it feels like it’s what it is.
Thank you to everyone who is boycotting consumer goods from Israeli and international companies complicit in the violation of Palestinian human rights.
By focusing on a small number of companies we can maximize our impact.

This is renowned Palestinian physician Dr. Ayman Abu al-Ouf, Head of Internal Medicine & COVID response at Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa. Israel obliterated him & his family in missile strikes on his neighborhood Sunday. Then they blew up the roads leading to the hospital.
Gaza doesn't need ood packages and charity, as much as it needs:
1- immediate stop of the deliberate bombing of civilian lives and infrastruction.
2- lift the military-imposed siege, which is employed as collective punishment on 2 million Pals.
Get at the root, not the leaf.
Some of you aren’t getting it—It is our money, our bombs. We leveled the press buildings. We destroyed the homes. We are murdering Palestinian children.
#EidMubarak to you all.
It may feel hard to be in any joyous mood, but our faith & humanity binds us together today more than yesterday - and tomorrow we will pray, in unison, for all our oppressed brothers and sisters who we should & will never forget.
