Only in America can a Canadian billionaire waltz into a drought-ridden state on the verge of ecological collapse and get a massive data center campus rubber-stamped with huge tax breaks. Zero local input. But made possible by the bought and paid for government!
do not let apathy be the norm. mourn the lives of strangers you have never met. love the children across the globe, who's names you never knew. fascism thrives on dehumanization. do not give it a space to grow.
I found this incredible Instagram account last week — a collection of photos featuring Palestine and National Geographic since 1909. Every photo is beautiful and tells its own story. Fuck you very much Israel.
This is beyond horrifying.
New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5
That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.
Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.
A year ago, I was arrested for the encampment. I faced so much racism that I doubted I would graduate.
A month ago, Mohsen Mahdawi was abducted by ICE.
Today, we both walked across the stage—built on the same lawns where the tents once stood. Columbia failed to erase us 🇵🇸
"You can pretend that falafel and hummus and zaatar are your ancient cuisines. But in the recesses of your being, you will always feel the sting of this epic forgery."
Palestinian writer and activist Susan Abulhawa delivered this passionate speech at the Oxford Union.
My mother has a similar story from her childhood in the 50s. Not the genocide of today, but with severe crop and aid shortages, Gaza was saved by an abundance of sardines that year. The sea, like the land, is ours and it knows its family and caretakers.
none of these liberals gave crying speeches like this while the biden-harris admin systematically eviscerated COVID prevention measures, facilitated zionist genocide, deported thousands, kicked millions off their healthcare, and gave more money than ever to police and military.
