Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said “not this way” to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops. Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.

Mandy Shunnarah Cannot Separate Love From Palestine electricliterature.com/mandy-shunnara… via @ElectricLit

Honored and grateful to see We Had Mansions getting love in @ElectricLit! It feels weird to be celebrating anything right now with my people being starved by IsntReal. Please give money to The Sameer Project––they're on the ground feeding people. electricliterature.com/mandy-shunnara…

This is not a normal society.

Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3 days*

The most expensive rice in the world for some of the sickest people in Gaza who are getting minimal care, support here: chuffed.org/project/113222…. No medical supplies or medications have come into Gaza since March 2nd and now patients get no food for days. The Sameer Project team…

This is the most terrifying and illuminating article I’ve ever read.

In "We Had Mansions," Shunnarah ... confronts colonizers and forced conditions; traces their Palestinian lineage back generations; plays with archive; and weaves a colorful tapestry that stretches from Ramallah to Appalachia. New from Sara Abou Rashed. matternews.org/culture/words/…

The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: Where Imperialism, Zionism and Arab Reaction Meet 🧵 THREAD:

All love to our tenacious friends ❤️ @sameerproject was named after a martyred relative of one of the organizers. Plz help them keep up the work on their new medical initiative: chuffed.org/project/136892…

The so called “humanitarian city” planned for Gaza would give each person less space than an incarcerated person in Guantanamo. Call it what it is: a concentration camp.

So, anyone who doesn’t go to the concentration camp will be “eliminated.” Doesn’t sound genocidal at all…

Sitting down with Mandy Shunnarah’s (@fixedbaroque) incredible work today, we had mansions. A book that intimately investigates Palestinian diaspora, history, identity, family, sexuality, and celebrates existence in the face of erasure. Fresh off the press from @DiodeEditions

All the windows in this house are broken, Mohammed Moussa

I’m in a group chat with other international healthcare workers who have volunteered and worked in Gaza. Multiple people have had baby formula confiscated by the Israeli military as they enter Gaza. These are not isolated incidents, but a systemic policy of genocide.

I am deeply disturbed that @MosabAbuToha, the Pulitzer Prize winning writer (and one of the baddest cats of his generation, is being systematically erased from public view

The documentary the BBC tried to bury. zeteo.com/p/watch-now-ga…

In case you don't know, today Israel bombed a water desalination station in Gaza, & is also blocking repair crews from reaching several water wells. What kind of mind looks at a starving, thirsty people & says, “Let’s make it even worse”? That’s not just cruelty—it’s sadism.

I just watched the video of IOF soldiers taking turns to rape a Palestinian teenager until he died I feel physically sick I’ve never seen anything more brutal, horrifying & traumatic in all my life IOF soldiers are more monstrous than I thought it was possible for humans to be
