+ ...suffering. religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. it is the opium of the people."
whenever leftists use marx's famous line, "religion is the opium of the masses," why do they so often conveniently forget what the entire passage goes like. "religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real ...+
*Ḥamās and the PFLP Meet to Discuss Palestinian Developments and the Situation of Refugees in Lebanon*
According to a newly published communique distributed by Safa:
“On 10 November 2026, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) discussed a range of political and national issues and developments with a senior delegation from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Ḥamās).
Ahmed Abdel Hadi, Ḥamās’s representative in Lebanon, led the delegation, which Marwan Abdel Aal, a member of the PFLP Political Bureau, received.
The meeting addressed several political and national issues, foremost among them the results of the 'Israeli' elections and their potential implications for the Palestinian cause. The two sides considered the possible repercussions of these results for the future of the conflict and the occupation’s policies of aggression and settlement expansion against the Palestinian people. They also discussed the challenges these developments pose and the need to strengthen the Palestinian national position and unify efforts to confront them.
The two sides also reviewed the course of the Palestinian national dialogue and the stage reached by the efforts undertaken in this regard. They emphasized the importance of continuing dialogue among the various forces and factions and establishing the conditions necessary for its success on the basis of national partnership and consensus. Such efforts would contribute to ending the division, restoring national unity, and unifying the Palestinian position and decision in the face of current challenges.
The two sides devoted considerable attention to the situation in the Gaza Strip, reviewing the repercussions of the ongoing blockade and the extremely difficult humanitarian and living conditions confronting the Palestinian people, particularly in light of the attacks and developments the Strip has witnessed in recent days.
They emphasized the need to intensify political, national, and humanitarian efforts to break the blockade, ensure the entry of aid and basic necessities, and strengthen the resilience of the Palestinian people against policies of starvation and deliberate targeting. These efforts must safeguard their right to life, dignity, and continued presence on their land.
The two sides also reviewed the situation in the occupied West Bank, where daily 'Israeli' aggression has intensified and settlers continue to attack Palestinian residents, their property, and their land. These attacks directly threaten Palestinian lives and rights and form part of broader plans to impose settlement realities and expand control over Palestinian territory.
Regarding Palestinian affairs in Lebanon, the two sides held an extensive discussion of the recently raised issue of governance and its implications for the circumstances of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
They emphasized the importance of approaching this issue on the basis of rights and obligations, while taking into account the particular circumstances of the Palestinian presence in Lebanon. They stressed the need to preserve the human and social dignity of refugees and safeguard their legitimate rights, foremost among them the right of return, while avoiding any measures or approaches that would diminish those rights or compound their suffering.
At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides emphasized the importance of maintaining communication, coordination, and consultation between the PFLP and Ḥamās. They also stressed the need to continue working together on various national issues in ways that serve the interests of the Palestinian people and strengthen their resilience and commitment to their rights and national principles.”
I can’t personally vet individual fundraisers, so I encourage anyone looking to donate to check out organizations like LL4Gaza and @sameerproject.
At the same time, we need to recognize that fundraising alone cannot address the structural problem of humanitarian aid sitting at the border while Palestinians are deprived of basic necessities. This is a political crisis, not merely a humanitarian one. No amount of fundraising can substitute for ending the system and policies responsible for these conditions.
you cannot impose a universal dietary prescription w/o accounting for these conditions. otherwise you disregard the material realities of people concerned. also, veganism's broader adoption would've implications for entire sectors of production & livelihoods of numerous people
i opened twitter after decades (solely for the nvidia news) and i was greeted w another pointless debate. (veganism). it's time to delete this app and never look back.
just to chime in. morality does not exist outside material/social conditions. it is historically conditioned.
2 facts in the IIT suicide issue:
1. There was no faculty reservation at IITs till 2008. Even today >80% of IIT faculty from privileged castes. So who is to blame for "falling academic standards"?
2. Sahil had a CGPA of 8.5. That does not indicate academic weakness..
Even before becoming mayor, Mamdani didn’t protest Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly last year, and now he says he won’t join protests against him this year either.
I don’t understand how someone who campaigned on arresting Netanyahu can now punt the issue to the federal government without even protesting him, while hosting Trump at Gracie Mansion.
But hey, maybe this is the 8D chess y’all have been talking about. Maybe he’ll convince Trump to arrest Netanyahu at Gracie Mansion and I’ll eat my words.

pop-psychology is so politically conservative as it severs individual suffering from the social relations in which that individual exists. and the social alienation is particularly more vicious under caste. their humiliation has history and institutions behind it (1/n)
access to justice is liberal fiction when, victim occupies the weaker side of institutional hierarchy. the very fact that the account of victim's family is interrogated while the institution's word is accepted tells you that caste also decides whose suffering is credible (5/n)
It’s actually so funny watching people who learned about Palestine three years ago lecture Sudanese people. Sudanis were fighting alongside Palestinians in 1948, before Sudan was even independent. Our solidarity is older than whatever activism y’all think you’re doing online
