New post on the particular vulnerabilities of elderly people living through the Zionist genocide in Gaza: open.substack.com/pub/maurafin...

I had the great privilege of spending time with “Terms of Servitude: Zionism, Silicon Valley, and Digital Settler Colonialism in the Palestinian Liberation Struggle” by @omarzahzah.bsky.social - this is essential reading for us all. themarkaz.org/terms-of-ser...

hi all - please read Maura's (@mauraf.bsky.social) substack post on mutual aid, and give to the Sameer Project's Give Warmth to Gaza campaign (linked in her post). maurafinkelstein.substack.com/p/mutual-aid...

Everyday is a good day to support Mona and her family - they’ve lost everything in the genocide, please donate below if you have the funds to do so 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Today is my friend Mona’s 19th birthday. Mona is a beautiful writer, a talented poet, an aspiring cook, & a recent graduate. There are so many reasons to celebrate her but what is a birthday in Gaza? Please consider supporting her campaign 🙏🏼 www.gofundme.com/f/help-mona-...

1/ Today is the Jewish day of atonement- for those of us who are Jewish, this must/should mean atonement for our involvement/complicity in projects of Jewish supremacy, whether intentional or not,

Another tool of medical genocide by @mauraf.bsky.social

Morning pages

1/ I wrote a two-part series about cerebral palsy and autism in Gaza and how genocide is a disability justice issue - please keep supporting The Sameer Project: chuffed.org/project/1368...

Please support Imad, Aya, and their two-year-old daughter Lara - donate through the link below and please circulate 🙏🏼

1/ Don’t trust anyone who claims “Palestinian & Israeli lives are intertwined.” No they aren’t. Israel is a genocidal settler colonial ethnostate illegally squatting on stolen Palestinian land. Israel should not exist & Palestinians should be free to determine their own future.

Thank you to everyone who came out today - we raised $3000 for The Sameer project 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is tomorrow! NYC, come through and support The Sameer project - all money raised goes directly to mutual aid in Gaza.

Excellent and wide ranging interview with Maura Finkelstein ( @mauraf.bsky.social ). She makes the point that nothing is going to change until we all engage in material buy-in as well as ideological buy-in. It's a tall order for consumer citizens but she's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOjC...

1/ NYC folks! Save the date - Fundraiser for The Sameer project on Saturday, July 26th! Please come through, buy books, art, & tickets for the poetry reading! All funds raised goes to mutual aid in Gaza:

Our latest Special Issue includes a beautifully reflexive article by @mauraf.bsky.social 'Work Cannot Save Us but Let's Still Try: Labor, Utopias, and Futurity at an Equine Therapy Farm' which argues that "workspaces cannot save us, in terms of any liberatory potential under capitalism."

Save the 26th for Maura’s fundraiser for the Sameer Project - get used books, listen to poetry, hang out w/amazing people!!!!

Tickets for the poetry reading here: www.eventbrite.com/e/fundraiser...

Israel didn’t “turn” far-right — it was built on Jewish supremacy from the start. Maura Finkelstein traces Zionism’s colonial logic back to Herzl, showing how it borrowed the blueprints of empire and white rule. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/the-...

1/ The so-called US, built on settler colonial genocide & enslaved labor, has been funding & facilitating the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza for almost 2 years now. This should be enough to destroy any investment in patriotism & nationalism.

I watched all the 2023 leg debates over trans healthcare 🤮 This short essay for @ejpgjournal.bsky.social shows how pseudoscience drives laws targeting trans kids for healthcare bans 1/6 s/o @payoub.bsky.social & @jennpiscopo.bsky.social Read: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

Read to understand some what Palestinians go through when they seek funds to survive this genocide. This is not to say don’t give to gofundme campaigns because that’s often all people are able to set up. But everyone needs to understand how evil these monsters are: www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“Just as we call out white supremacy in the United States, we must call out Jewish supremacy in occupied Palestine.” I have a new essay up at @mondoweiss.net mondoweiss.net/2025/06/the-...

The perfect mug doesn’t exist….

SCOTUS upholds the anti-trans law that singles out trans kids for discriminatory treatment. How do I know? Non-trans kids are allowed unmitigated access to the exact same treatments (puberty blockers).

‬ @zeinmurib.bsky.social's (Fordham University) research focuses on sexuality, gender, & race in US politics. Murib's academic publications include work on transgender politics, LGBT politics, & intersectionality. 🔗 Connect with Murib: scholars.org/scholar/zein...

This has always been the reality - colonized, dispossessed, & subjugated people are the leaders in theorizing, analyzing, & teaching the world about power, imperialism, liberation, & resistance & colonizers are the leaders of propaganda & genocidal acts/justification/spectacle.

1/ If you want to know more about The Sameer Project & the critical lifesaving work they are doing in Gaza, especially in terms of the health/medical disaster under genocide, I’ll be writing about them & their work here (new posts every week): maurafinkelstein.substack.com/p/introducing-…

"To draw on antisemitism in this moment is both a form of genocide denial and an incitement to more violence against Palestinians" - I have a new essay up at The New Arab www.newarab.com/opinion/isra...

As our most vulnerable community members face coordinated attacks from the government and its secret police, these two texts are essential reading - ACAB forever @vickyacab.bsky.social 💥💥💥

I have a new story up in the NYTimes Magazine. Thanks to @mauraf.bsky.social for talking to me so many times for this one, and to everyone else who talked to me on the record, especially students and faculty, despite the risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/m...

1/ Sharing my story with the NYTimes was not an easy decision. My north star goal is always liberation and a free Palestine. That led me to decide to participate in this article despite my concerns. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/m...

1/ Hi friends - I started a Substack about Palestine, Zionism, Empire, settler colonialism, & the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza to raise money for @sameerproject - maurafinkelstein.substack.com/p/how-do-we-us…

Thank you, Raul! 🥹🙏🏼❤️

1/ It’s important the media expose the violence being done by orgs like the Heritage Foundation, initiatives like Project Esther, & the Zionist project. Yesterday’s story in @nytimes.com did not do that, though - a long 🧵on what’s actually at stake here.

There can be no business as usual-disrupt at every opportunity, withhold your labor, use your platform, call for the end of Zionism, demand a free Palestine & an end to the genocide in Gaza. How can this continue? We have a responsibility to do everything in our power to stop it.

The Zionist genocide of Palestinians in Gaza is hands down the most horrific ongoing human-led atrocity in history. And we are all watching. Silence is complicity. There are no excuses. Have you spoken out yet? If not, how do you live with yourself?

Join us today by donating to the Sameer Project, a Palestinian-run mutual aid org that continues its work in spite of a sadistic, months long forced starvation campaign by the zionist entity that has by and large been accepted by the world. Or just donate today, the 77th anniversary of ongoing Nakba
