Israel is not "testing" the ceasefire, they are breaking it, just like they always do. The only thing Israel has been "testing", for decades, is the moral fucking decency of Western media and governments, proving quite thoroughly that they are the same genocidal racists they've always been.

AAAHHHH🗣️🗣️👇🏿👇🏿 It's always cute dismissable problems for later when it harms Black folks. It becomes a real fucking issue when it harms everyone else, and I'm just over alarm bells ringing after the house has burned down

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

aid is not yet coming fast enough to adequately shelter all of Gaza before winter

The notion that those who took part in slavery or conquest were merely abiding by the moral standards of their time necessary excludes those they targeted and kidnapped from those standards; *they* were never confused about this. But other white people were frequently disgusted by this stuff too!

The reason people started protesting about Israel committing genocide in Gaza early on is because Israeli leaders began openly declaring genocidal intent early on.

“I swear to God, they didn’t feed us. They beat us while we were naked day and night. Until our last day, they cut us and hit us and abused us. We endured every kind of torture, emotional and physical. We couldn’t even sleep. They told me they killed my children.” - released Palestinian prisoner

Please don’t scroll past this. I’m still here… still fighting to survive. I’m sick, my father is very sick — and we have no way to get treatment. We live in a tent, in the freezing cold, with nothing but the wind and the sound of our hunger. More words in the first comment … GFM: gofund.me/f116bf44

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

If you won't listen to me about the need to boycott @cbsnews.com and Paramount+, maybe you'll listen to John Oliver. youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ?...

This bit is key, too. No land border with Egypt means Israel controls everything that enters or leaves.

JA here. yes. this isn't some fucking GOTCHA, wonder bread.

everyone out here fighting the good fight to protect ChatGPT from racism, I understand where you're coming from, but have you considered making one friend

there's no such thing as compassion fatigue ffs

i hate this so fucking much. gay youth are disproportionately likely to experience homelessness but sure, lock them up so that you don't have to see them and feel uncomfortable for a second

IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

It’s all an attitude of being fine with authoritarianism, just not in their preferred cities. High crime rates in Republican-led states isn’t a gotcha! It’s a tragedy and a canary in a coal mine about what systemic racism and poverty beget. Do better, y’all. Not one city should be occupied.

Please help Anas. The genocide still continues even though US media wants to pretend it has stopped

Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business

The horror journalist Mariam Dagga photographed in the last months of her life. The last one is from the hospital where she was killed today. Curated by @apnews.com editors apnews.com/photo-galler...

Museums are hilarious "Yes, we stole it, why don't YOU reflect on that?"

We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out. All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence: bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

they literally fired the people curing cancer

this weekend, hideo kojima and a whole host of games industry luminaries will speak at the esports world cup's new global sport conference in riyadh, saudi arabia. they are doing this of their own free will and should be judged accordingly

Y'all need to stop using Duolingo. Your library probably gives you free access to Mango or other language learning programs which haven't been sloppified.

Hey guys!! Eli still needs help and we’ve been at this for over a month, please don’t fail disabled and endangered Black people, especially not with how red states are. I know we can do it and help. Please share and donate!! #BIPOCMA #signalboost #helpsky #fundsky 💕💸

He isn't joking. He never jokes about this shit. We need news media to stop acting like he's joking about this or running again in 2028. He will not step down unless he's dead or forced.

Grassroots activism gets results, whether the activists are on the right or left. While party Democrats have largely failed to respond adequately to Trump, millions of Americans hold the line for the country they love—one school board meeting at a time. trib.al/1ZNgahY

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Can we get this back up? Recently a story came out verifying that the friends we have appealing for our humanity on Bluesky are real. Saeed in particular has suffered a severe smear campaign on this very site. It's imperative that we show the people who tried to deny his existence that we see him.

Please tell Nintendo (and all other developers/studios/manufacturers) tht you want physical only, on the cartridge/disc media.

Niko is at 30% as of right now—can we get them another $50 today to get them to 35%?

Trump signed an EO designed to lock up disabled people and kill disabled people in this country; I went through the text.

Saeed is part of a family that reaches out for our help here. His leg appears to have been injured real bad. IDK the details but I know that people have been being shot & forced into stampedes for trying to get things we have infinity of on earth like flour. Check his account. Please help.

Worse than that. Read this EO carefully, it says anyone they see as essentially out of their mind OR homeless. It’s repeated under every point they make. This here allows to take anyone they see as a “threat” and put into an institution.

Please donate to Sakher and his family if you can. They are starving. www.gofundme.com/f/no-food-no...

Niko is at 30% as of right now—can we get them another $50 today to get them to 35%?

Niko is making some progress on their fundraiser, but they still need our help. They’re at 21% ($214.20) right now—can we get them to 25% ($255) today? That’s roughly $40 away! ko-fi.com/banishedbird...

Ugh. I see posts making light of age verification. Please don’t. This is a serious issue that will directly impact access to health information for LGBTQ people, abortiom access, sex education, books, music, art, and will allow stated to prosecute sex workers, librarians, teachers, and consumers.
