We Fight Back — Pre-Inauguration Twin Cities Community Assembly:

We deserve a system that puts people over profit; a world where no one struggles to meet basic needs. We CAN achieve these things when we work together & fight for them!

Wow. From one of the latest United Nations updates:
The UN attempted to reach North Gaza 165 times between October 6th & December 31st.
149 attempts were denied by Israeli authorities & 16 faced impediments.
As in, *every single* attempted UN aid mission was blocked or impeded.

Planet Fitness locations are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders & residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax”

No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

Thinking of the hundreds of incarcerated firefighters putting their bodies on the front lines of this Palisades fire and getting paid around $5 a day.

Since LA is on fire and part of the south is frozen, I think it’s a good time to remind everyone or tell for the first time that ChatGPT and other forms for AI are contributing to the rapid warming of our planet.

WFP strongly condemns the horrifying incident on January 5, when a clearly marked @WFP convoy was shot at by Israeli forces near the Wadi #Gaza checkpoint.

I think a lot about the refusal of cities to address homelessness and how that interacts with the hierarchy of transportation. We expect people who walk, bike or take transit to tolerate things that we would never, ever ask of motorists.

Now that there are more unhoused people in America than Wyoming residents, can we get them 2 Senators and a Rep in Congress too???

This morning, Mum suddenly grabbed my hand as we watched the news on #GiselePelicot & said:

"We teach you girls to be so vigilant, to always stay alert, every minute of the day. But now what? How are we supposed to protect you while you're sleeping too?"

And it has broken me.

today, the @OxfordUnion set the original version of my speech to private (see screenshot) and uploaded an edited version, one minute shorter, seemingly following zionist pressure. see their statement on the matter.

such modification of my speech and censorship is unethical and contrary to the ideals they purport to uphold. this censorship and perversion of my remarks comes after the original YouTube video had garnered hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of comments in less than one week, which was apparently was bothersome to zionists.

whereas the previous leadership of Ebrahim Osman-Mowafy withstood zionist bullying, his tenure ended in early December, when a new president took office. the usual zionist threats are working on him, it seems.

as Palestinians struggle to make our voices heard in the midst of a genocide, it is particularly egregious for the @OxfordUnion to bow to the very same forces committing that genocide.

it was bad enough to have been in the same room with genocide apologists and individuals who've actually murdered or caused the murder of people, but to find out that my speech has been edited to cater to them is intolerable.

the @OxfordUnion has not seen fit to issue statements, retractions, or other forms of censorship in the case of some truly abhorrent individuals that they've hosted in the past, such as Tony Robinson or Tzipi Hotovely.
Robinson was sent to prison for repeatedly inciting violence against refugees and Muslims, Hotovely made public calls to genocide against Palestinians. her remarks were so vile that it provoked calls for her expulsion from the UK.

and yet it was my speech that they saw fit to edit. why?

I demand the original speech be reinstated in its entirety as it was previously posted.

for the record, thanks to https://t.co/WbuiYFZfLT, the originally posted version cannot be erased from the web: https://t.co/2pKMZsgihA

You can’t blame voters for being uninformed when all of the news is paywalled but the propaganda remains free.
