Palestinians are suffering through an escalation of genocide and manufactured famine, perpetrated by “Israel” and the United States. Every little bit helps. Please donate.

🚨 Israeli forces have reportedly boarded the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. Connection to the Madleen ship has been lost.

I’m struggling with the disingenuousness of Bluesky. It feels like a liberal stronghold, with all the hollowness of liberalism. I’m struggling with what seems to be a stream of vapid (mostly white-appeasing) content. Anyway, free Palestine and may we see the end of Zionism and all oppressors.

Support Logan Rozos! Logan Rozos' diploma is being withheld because of their principled and brave words on the suffering of Palestinians. They took a risk, leveraged their platform, and stood for justice and humanity. I pray that more follow their lead. Follow this link to send a one-click email!

Email, call, share. “…Chancellor Aviles-Ramos once again hides behind ‘political neutrality’ to suppress the voices of Palestinian NYCPS community members…committed to ending the unconscionable genocide in Palestine. Shame on Chancellor Aviles-Ramos.” www.instagram.com/139forpalest...

Discussing the genocide of Palestinians in the context of Gaza since 2023 ignores just as much history as Zionists do when they start their accounting on October 7th. In fact, al Aqsa Flood was a retaliation to Zionist atrocities in the West Bank and the PA’s complicity to those atrocities.

Ramadan mubarak. In sha Allah this month is one of strength, patience, self reflection, worship, and self/community betterment for all. May Allah accept our fasts and ease our burdens.

With Ramadan coming soon and an alarming amount of educators who don’t know how to interact with their students in this month, I’m sharing this year’s version of an annual email that I send to the staff at my school. Please feel free to use and share when talking to your colleagues about Ramadan.

Deadline extended to February 28th!

As “Israel” shifts its escalation of genocide from Gaza to the West Bank, and as the brazenly US talks about ethnically cleansing Gaza, remember these locations are not separate entities. It is all Palestine. The land theft, ethic cleansing, & genocide of my people is over a century in the making.

Just a few more days to submit your abstracts! Spread the word! @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

When the dust settles and Palestinians are able to assess the magnitude of Israeli extermination and devastation, what we think we know about what happened in Gaza over these last 15 months is actually going to be far worse and more cruel than what we could have imagined

Ceasefire, which has been on the table and rejected by “Israel” for months, is a sigh of relief for Palestinians experiencing active genocide. May we taste the joy of justice and lasting peace through the dissolution of “Israel,” applied accountability, & the actualization of our right of return.

I'm reading news of an imminent ceasefire deal. I'm praying that the violence truly stops, that we don't see drawn-out death by another name. I pray that we all stay alert and awake regardless of what comes next. None of us are free until Palestine is free and a ceasefire is not freedom.

Unintended benefit of white supremacy: y’all are going to keep paying a premium for mediocre European food, while the rest of us can find actually delicious global cuisine at reasonable prices. The amount y’all will pay for different combinations of pasta and sauce or random boiled food is wild.

Half of being a successful high school teacher is mastering haoshoku no haki, for the One Piece fans. It should only take a look to behavior manage. Sometimes a “are you dead ass” or “be for real”. But most of the time, just a look.

Free Palestine, free Sudan, free the Congo, free Kashmir, free the Rohingya, free Tigray, and free all oppressed peoples worldwide. From our rivers to our seas, from our mountains to our valleys, from our skies to our grounds, free all oppressed people from their oppressors.

It’s hard to explain the longing for a place I’ve never seen. It’s almost genetic. Both sides of my family were expelled to Jordan after ‘48, & we have roots there as well as in the US, but I long for my homeland. Not just Palestine but the villages of my grandparents. The cultural inheritance lost.

WATCH: This is how Israel uses food to colonize Palestine and erase Palestinian culture and identity. youtu.be/ImMS666YvhE?...

Over 75 years out from the nakba and much of our history is getting lost to to time and long-term ethnic cleansing. Has anyone started to collect the stories of our elders? Like a narrative archive? I’m considering it but if someone’s begun I’d like to collaborate. #AcademicSky #palestine #edusky

Jordan Neeley was a person.

I fractured my left big toe last week. Having a 3 1/2 year-old means that every day he steps on both feet (or tries to) to double check which one has the broken toe, so he can avoid it for the rest of the day.

The israelis have killed multiple Palestinian people in the bombing of a square in Nuseirat in central Gaza: locals are still digging the dead out #Gaza

Anti Assad HTS has taken over Aleppo, Hama and Homs. If you’ve read Refuge, I just spoke to the woman I call Rajaa, who is, like most of the people I wrote about, from Homs. She was sobbing in disbelief that the tyrant that forced her family from their home, that killed her loved ones is gone.

Is there relevant scholarly work analyzing the use of "so-called" among Black radicals and others operating in their tradition (e.g. Palestinians in the West)? I'm working on something and would like to point to literature. #AcademicSky #EduSky #ScholarlyChat #ResearchGate #Academia

For anyone working on their doctorate, who needs to hear it: you are earning a terminal degree. When you are done, no one is going to ask what grades you earned. Make your programs serve you. Ask for rich feedback. Push yourself, but enjoy the process of growth without fixating on grades.

I have too many feelings to list about Palestine. Some I don’t quite know how to name. Like the ones where you witness countless dead and dying children daily, and still have to be a parent to your own small children, children who look like those suffering in this Zionist genocide of your people.

I love being a high school teacher. I love engaging with my kids. I could probably teach anything and be happy. A class full of students learning (and not, iykyk) is my happy place. School bureaucracy & politics sucks the joy out of this profession. It’s what’s going to take me out of the classroom.

In addition to obstructing aid deliveries, Israeli forces have decimated Gaza’s agricultural infrastructure and cropland, repeatedly attacked aid workers, and facilitated the looting of humanitarian supplies.

Palestinians are being killed by a colonial apartheid state, and we're here to make our stance clear and simple: If you're a Zionist, antisemitic, Islamophobic, or pro-genocide, we will block you. We stand for the liberation of the Palestinian people.

In the past 2 days, Israeli forces have: –Killed 3 World Central Kitchen aid workers –Killed a Save The Children staffer –Killed a Gaza Soup Kitchen chef –Killed an ICU director –Attacked & killed hundreds of displaced Palestinians –Shot a 10-year-old girl

So many people who are incarcerated right now deserve this kind of reasoned defense of their right to freedom, but they lack a powerful parent to intervene on their behalf. Abolition now.

According to Palestinian health workers & journalists, the Israelis seem to be using new weapons that *vaporize* any human body within a few hundred meters in North Gaza. Gaza has long been used as a laboratory - the Israelis test weapons & then there is a spike in global demand for those weapons.

Some days I feel anxious that I’m too sleep deprived to workout like I used to or that I have 1000 things I want to do and no time, but then I remember sitting on the train one day with my 3 year old looking at a man with his teenager and thinking about how long life is (in a good way). Slow down.

This is the first report I’ve seen from a U.S. newsroom about the accelerated US-backed Israeli slaughter that’s been taking place in north Gaza over the last few days. 🧵

I don’t care that Biden just pardoned his kid. But I do care that he’s still facilitating genocide 14 months later.

while they were receiving flour in Khan Yunis, slaughtering 14 Palestinians 13 months,Israel has continued use starvation as weapon, exacerbating the suffering of more than 2.5 million Palestinians across the strip amid ongoing genocidal war in Gaza,leaving them facing the threat of death by hunger

Yesterday, Israeli occupation forces committed massacres against civilians and aid workers, killing more than 17 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces targeted a World Central Kitchen vehicle, killing three of its workers, in addition to targeting a group of civilians 1/2👇🏻

New to this space, so I’m resharing things I’ve written in the past year about being a Muslim, Palestinian, educator, & activist in this time of escalation of genocide of my people in Palestine, & the Western violence and repression of Palestinian & allied activists: mondoweiss.net/2024/04/zion...

AAAAHHHHHHHH

I’m sorry that Palestinians refuse to be perfect victims for you
