Regular person, trying to think critically and learn compassionately. Retweets and likes not an endorsement, occasionally calling attention to something vile.
X has a lot of bad faith, “gotcha”, holier-than-thou, propaganda-ready tweets… I try to be here to learn and share knowledge and compassion where I find it. (People seem to engage more authentically, compassionately, and knowledgeably on TikTok❤️)
Huge victory for free expression in the UK (something that can rarely be said):
For years, Israel's loyalists in the UK demanded @Tracking_Power be fired as a university professor for his anti-Zionists beliefs. They finally succeeded.
A court today held that anti-Zionism is a political philosophy protected like any other, and his firing was thus illegal:
So they’re just casually reporting that Israel built seven military bases IN LEBANON.
If you live in the US, this is what your tax dollars are funding.
At what point will elite liberals just acknowledge how fucking gross three years of daily massacres, starvation, carpetbombing of cities and hospitals and refugee tent camps, murdering of nurses and doctors and journalists has been, and it's all been enabled by our government?
I don’t know who will read this tweet, but if you pause for a moment, please don’t scroll past the link
You could be the reason my family in Gaza receives the help they desperately need.

Today, Gaza is witnessing the largest funeral in Palestinian history.
In November 2023, Israel killed 308 Palestinians in a SINGLE MASSACRE — children, women and men.
Nearly 3 years later, only 112 bodies have been recovered.
The other 196 remain missing beneath the rubble.
Heatwaves have killed 20,000 across Europe. Most of these deaths are in France and more are on their way. Deaths from climate change will soon make the deaths from every previous war seem small by comparison. It feels like the end of the world this summer, because it is.
A child requires life-saving medical treatment that could cost more than US$3 million.
Any organization here that can provide the needed medical care!
This is urgent.
If pro rata penalties are paid by Israel for the Palestinians murdered by Israeli forces, then the payout would total US$1,488,000,000,000 — an amount that would bankrupt the Israeli state.
Friendly reminder Israel holds hostage thousands of Palestinians, including many children, and tortures, starves &rapes them daily.
But they are Palestinian hostages, so the world doesn't even know they exist.
Anyone who claims to support business must work to end the era of fossil fuels. Ask the small business owner in Spokane, Washington. Ask the vineyard worker in Bordeaux, France.
This is happening against the backdrop of historic wildfires raging all across Spain, Greece, France and Turkey. Peoples lives and livelihoods up in smoke all in service of a few fossil fuel CEO’s ever-fattening pocketbooks
