lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

There are only 15 Palestinians competing in the Olympics this year because Israel has killed 342 professional Palestinian athletes in the past 10 months…
"Do you know what would happen if you were a queer in Palestine?"
Yeah, you'd probably get buried under rubble or vaporized by an Israeli missile. Then on the off chance your body was identified the photos would be shared on Twitter and Telegram by Israelis who'd laugh at you.
PSA before this evening’s semi final!
While Eurovision is being used by Isr@ael as propaganda, art washing and a distraction - the IOF are entering Rafah. They are about to commit massacre after massacre in the most densely populated place in the world, with 60% children.
"So, what did you do as a mainstream journalist in 2024? Did you warn about rising fascism? Did you inform people about white supremacists: the #1 domestic terror threat? Did you show what Israel did to Gaza?"

It pains me that people genuinely just see these names as numbers. Each name belonged to a life, a life that Israel took. Do not stop talking about Palestine.
