May anxiety not cause you to run from your blessings, cling to crumbs, or forget who you are.

NYU faculty creating a ring around the Gaza solidarity encampment to protect their students after the school threatened mass arrest. So beautiful.

[Know Your IX @knowyourIX]

📢Huge news! The Biden administration has FINALLY released new #TitleIX rules! After YEARS of advocacy from students & survivors, schools can finally implement changes that will make K-12 schools and colleges safer and more accessible for all young people. 🧵

Remember when #ColumbiaUniversity didn't do anything to help Emma Sulkowicz when she was raped on campus?? So she carried the mattress she was assaulted on as a form of protest. She carried it for months.

It's a good time to call out the hypocrisy of our institutions, too often celebrating student activists after they've graduating but stifling them while they're enrolled. -@Ruha9 telling it like it is

The perseverance of these Columbia students is so important for so many reasons right now, one of them being that it provides a powerful beam of hope in this dark time.

Aaron Bushnell is the second person to self immolate over the Gaza genocide. The first was a woman whose name we do not know because her story was buried. Our monstrous rulers are forcing people to engage in the most extreme, desperate act of political protest just to be heard

[rachelle @rchlltrmn]

self-immolation isn’t suicide. but one thing i’ve learned from losing people to suicide is the best and only way we can come to peace with their decision is to rage against the conditions that made their decision seem, to them, reasonable. and aaron bushnell said free palestine

[✨taylor - she/her✨ @TaylorrObvi]

When ppl claim "mental illness" invalidates political acts like self-immolation, it reveals a lot about their view of disabled people's autonomy & capacity for political engagement. It implies political choices are less valid bc of disability. We shouldn't entertain this. 1/

The death toll in Gaza is almost at 40,000. In less than 5 months, Israel has murdered almost 40,000 precious humans beings.

Palestinians deserve to live in Palestine.

“He is one of the most principled comrades I’ve ever known,” said Xylem, who worked with Bushnell to support San Antonio’s unhoused residents.

“He’s always trying to think about how we can actually achieve liberation for all with a smile on his face,” said Errico.

May you rest in the truth of who you are.

May it free you, ground you, liberate you, and give you wings.

May you encounter spaces, places, and people that recognize your song and flow in harmony with you.

May you reclaim your breath again and again.

[Tamam @TamamBeitJirja]

We're not resilient. We don't want to be. We want an end to the Israeli occupation and an immediate ceasefire. We just want to be.

[afropessimism apologist @queendurag]

I want us to remember our collective power in this lifetime.

[Bayan @BayanPalestine]

It bothers you to watch from afar the israeli atrocities in #Gaza, imagine how we feel as we live them.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Every trauma survivor I've ever known has been crystal clear that we do NOT want to impose even a fraction of our experience or memories on anyone else. Especially our loved ones.

But that leaves us in a special kind of hell-- alone w/ these feelings & memories.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I’m terrified of any future world where we chose to normalize the shit we’ve collectively witnessed the past 4 months.

[missfalasteenia @missfalsteenia]

Children in Palestine deserve to know freedom & grow old, not live their lives only knowing war, occupation, and destruction. End the occupation. Free our Palestine.
