Thank you for sharing!! We’ve seen so many donations to our urgent relief fund since your post! For anyone with a big platform who doesn’t think their sharing makes a difference: I’m telling you from firsthand experience, it really does make a huge difference!!

🧵Palestinians have sounded the alarm for months over the Israeli-engineered famine starving Gaza’s residents. Support Palestinians on the ground who are keeping each other alive ➡️
my blood genuinely boils when i think of what the united states has done to iraq
Baghdad, 1999 (higher quality)
the “again” in “never again” is happening right now before the eyes of the world
I just saw someone reply to a tweet with “debunk @/grok” AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
due to a series of deeply evil actions on columbia's part that i don't even have the heart anymore to go into, i'm without a teaching position in the fall and unemployed. if anyone knows of literally any kind of job opening anywhere, i'd be so grateful if you'd reach out.
The New York Times is an active participant in genocide. Its crimes must never be forgotten or forgiven.
They let a genocide scholar write one op ed. Now they’re back on script.
In the midst of so much horror, please help us care for the caretakers and wish a happy birthday and day of deep appreciation to our bookseller at @openpoetrybooks who has become integral not just to the operations but the vision of our group. Happy born day B! 🦀

JVP raked in $11 million in FY ending 6/24, a massive spike in their annual revenue. Where did this money go? [thread]
Starvation, once in motion, even after food & medical care become availabe, remains irreversible for so many of its victims. It's a greater sin than the sin itself to be have spoken only after the sight of skin-on-bones killed Palestinians. An unforgiveable "theology of empire."
THEY ARE BEING STARVED, BOMBED, & GASSED. THEY ARE BEING STARVED, BOMBED, & GASSED. THEY ARE BEING STARVED, BOMBED, & GASSED. THEY ARE BEING STARVED, BOMBED, & GASSED. THEY ARE BEING STARVED, BOMBED, & GASSED. THEY ARE BEING STARVED, BOMBED, & GASSED. 650 DAYS. END THE GENOCIDE.
Eric Garner was killed on this day in 2014. If I ever get to teach a class on how to write about other people, this would be the first piece we would look at.

This is beyond complicity. They might as well hire Netanyahu at this point.
EXPOSED: A new dossier from @wawog_now reveals material and ideological ties between Israel and journalists, editors, and executives of The New York Times. Whether serving in the IOF or taking money from pro-Israel consultancies, the staff at the Times is compromised.
