Fuck the USA and fuck their war on Cuba and Venezuela. I lived in Caracas in middle school. These are countries embargoed and sanctioned into starvation, pressured constantly with military violence. Then when even that doesn’t make it fall apart or harden / become evil we bomb

[Merrick 🦂 @punishedmother]

We are currently bombing the ever loving fuck out of Caracas, but hey, he called himself the President of Peace a lot. Right, MAGA?

[November @postoctobrist]

stupid, stupid criminal regime of thieves and pedophiles bombing everyone they think they can get away with

[Bob Vylan @BobbyVylan]

A trial by fire: some words of clarification.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Having murdered EVERY journalist in Gaza, and many of their families.

Having banned ANY international journalist from entering.

Having destroyed almost every structure in Gaza and even laughing as they blew up water treatment facilities and cancer wards.

Israel is now BANNING all aid agencies from operating there from tomorrow.

The last thread of charitable aid removed.

An evil beyond humanity.

Take ACTION
Free PALESTINE

So, the latest trailer for #ControlResonant has got you hungry for more weirdness, might I suggest "Project: Daydream"? https://t.co/LclKp9J4dx

A queer, new weird, horror adventure series, inspired by #ControlRemedy and written by myself!

[Haitham in Gaza 🇵🇸🍉 @HaithamElmasri1]

The United States has divided Gaza into two colors:
Green represents the areas controlled by Israel,
and Red represents the areas where the people of Gaza live.

The areas currently occupied by the Israeli army include my city, Beit Hanoun, where I live.
Because of this, neither I nor anyone from my city has been able to return to it — not until this very moment, not completely.

The policy of forced displacement and land theft is the most cruel and painful thing in this life.

Curse be upon everyone who conspired in killing us, torturing us, and uprooting us from our land and our cities.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

I came back today. I thought I had known despair before, but what I saw today is beyond despair.
It is not grief, nor horror, nor pain. It is something colder, a stillness where even God seems to have withdrawn His hand.

The sky was impossibly blue. The kind of blue that mocks you, that makes you wonder whether beauty itself is a crime.
I walked through streets that no longer exist, streets that were my childhood.
They are now a wilderness of stone, wire, and dust.

A man stood on a heap, a neighbor, I think.
He pointed and said, “It’s here.”
I asked him how far.
He looked down.
And I understood: my house was beneath his feet.

I lifted my phone, as if the machine could recognize what I could not. The screen glowed; there was nothing to see. The earth had swallowed the distances. Even the smell of home was gone. It was as if the thread connecting me to life itself had been cut.

I dug with my hands. The dust burned. My palms bled.
My mother had told me: “Search for anything we can save.” And so I obeyed her like a son obeys the last voice that still believes there is meaning in obedience.

From a house that once cost my father one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, a lifetime of labor, of hope, of decency, I found two things:
a knife, and a pillow.

Two relics of civilization. One for necessity, one for illusion.
That is what remains of man.

I sat in the ruins, the blue of my shirt turned gray with ash, and I thought:
this is the end not of a city, but of meaning itself.

I thought of my parents, their hands, their faith in honest work.
How will they bear this? How will any man bear seeing his father’s roof turned into dust by a stranger’s hands, hands that will never know the names of those they destroyed?

But what tears me apart more than ruin is silence. No one speaks to us.
No one tells us where to go, who will rebuild, or who is responsible.
The politicians talk of victories, the generals of strategy, the world of peace and progress.
But none of them live here among the ashes. None of them stand where I stand, sifting through their own dead.

And those who claim to represent us, where are they? Where is the money they collected in our name, the promises they made before the cameras, the slogans they wrote while we buried our children?
Who among them will come to this ruin and say: Forgive us, we failed you?
Not one.

They sit in offices with clean shirts, counting our corpses as figures on paper. They say “reconstruction,” “aid,” “negotiations,” as though the vocabulary of power could fill the emptiness of a mother’s bed.

I tell you the truth: there is no crime greater than indifference.
The murderer at least acknowledges the victim.
But those who look away, they kill the soul itself.

I brushed the dust from my shirt, though I knew it was useless.
I wanted to see if there was still color left in the world.
There wasn’t.
The blue had become the color of mourning.

I looked at my hands. They were shaking, not from fear, but from the unbearable realization that we have become expendable to the world.
Our suffering is entertainment, our death a policy, our endurance a statistic.

I wept then, openly, shamelessly.
I, who once believed in the dignity of suffering, now see that dignity itself has been annihilated.
There is nothing noble in being forgotten.

If you are reading this, do not admire the style or the language.
Lower your head, and weep.
Because this dust, this silence, this cry, is what remains of us.

If the crew of the Madleen hadn't posted updates constantly, Israel's terrorist occupation forces would have killed them. You can tell this because Israeli messaging is impotently furious about the posting. They deride it in a way that makes clear it's all they're thinking about
