The last functional hospital in Gaza city has been bombed and patients are strewn on the streets.

We are not even a week into the second Trump administration and the President of Colombia is telling Trump that he will never shake is hand because “I don’t shake hands with white slavers,” which, to be clear, is a bar

The very idea of Palestinian freedom is so loathed by the US that two of the only states getting aid are the two states blockading Gaza, a strip mostly populated by children www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I edited this comic for poet Jehad Abu Dayya and artist Esraa Elbanna, currently displaced in Deir alBalah. They wrote and drew it together from their tents. It is a very intentional work with many layers to it, I hope you read it (1/5)

sad to report that workshop signups have been way down since the start of the new year. please don't forget about the small, regular amounts of aid to mutual aid groups which need thousands a day to provide for their people! upcoming workshops here: www.workshops4gaza.com/workshops

i keep forgetting to check this platform im sorry. i’d like my 2025 resolution to be not to use social media at all. but even though i no longer suffer from the delusion that maybe if we all keep posting the right way we won’t have to keep watching arab kids die, i still feel a need to do it.

They arrested him

Israel has murdered Khaled Nabhan, a man whose story gained global attention last year when CNN shared his grief over the brutal killing of his grandchild, whom he described as "the soul of [his] soul."

sorry im late to tabling at MICE the assad regime fell last night and i got distracted

Gaza now has the world’s highest rate of child amputees per capita.

Shubeik Lubeik, la merveilleuse fantaisie urbaine de @itsdeenasaur.bsky.social , et que j'ai eu l'immense joie d'adapter en français, est dans la sélection de Noël de France Info.

I'm still not seeing posts in Arabic in Blue Sky. When I posted in Arabic the formatting seemed awkward (couldn't do right to left script). This excludes a great many people. What's being done about it?

The idea that people in need are at a deficit of credibility is part-and-parcel of the racism that fuels this genocide. It's not to say scams don't exist. But the entitlement to accuse others of things with 0 proof, that your "gut" supersedes their stories is something else entirely.

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

if you live in or near boston!! i am doing so many things there this weekend! talk at harvard countway library with @noethematt.bsky.social on thursday at noon, BU keynote speech with @joelchristiangill.bsky.social friday at 6pm, and a panel at @massmice.bsky.social saturday at 1pm! please come by

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen. What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

i am a guest at @massmice.bsky.social this year which I have recently learned means I have a table there (69B!) it also means i will be tabling at an american comics event for the first time in my life and I have no idea what to display

Please support this vitally important institute. Needed today more than ever.

I am an obstetrician and gynecologist who has worked in Gaza throughout the Israeli genocide. I have seen the destruction of Gaza's medical sector firsthand. My patients' stories tell the story of the genocide. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/11/my-stories-as-an-ob-gyn-in-gaza-reveal-the-truth-of-the-…

Gaza needs 600 aid trucks daily. Biden only required Israel to let in 350 per day. Israel allowed an average of just 56 aid trucks into Gaza per day during the 30 days afterward. Biden still refused to hold Israel accountable. @stephensemler.bsky.social: www.securityincontext.com/posts/israel...

A privilege to host Alaa Abd el-Fattah's mother, Laila Soueif on day 59 of her hunger strike & sisters @monasosh.bsky.social & Sanaa at @caabu.bsky.social for after meeting David Lammy.   Our full love, support & solidarity, as Alaa remains unjustly imprisoned in Egypt @freealaa.bsky.social

i’ve said this before but last october news came out that around 15 family trees had been totally wiped out in gaza and i tried to draw a comic about what that means. before i could finish it the number passed 100 and i no longer knew how to depict that kind of loss. now it is in the thousands.

There’s like 12 more IDF evacuation orders for Dahieh, Beirut tonight. I’ve lost count of how many there have been but it’s easily in the lower hundreds. An entire historical area of Beirut is being annihilated on a quasi-daily basis.

BREAKING: Israeli attacks on Gaza over the past 48 hours have killed 120 Palestinians and wounded 205, according to the enclave's Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️ aje.io/6yjo63

Going to be really hard to justify sending billions of dollars in military aid to one guy with ICC arrest warrants while we attempt to claim the moral high ground in helping to fight off the other guy with an ICC arrest warrant

"How can a woman, who has been forced from her home and lost everything, say no to a marriage proposal made at gunpoint?" An incredibly important and devastating piece by @timep.bsky.social nonresident fellow Mohaned Elnour on forced marriages in Sudan. timep.org/2024/11/21/f...

I see the United States is once again taking a bold, firm stance against human rights and international law.

The great Lena Khalaf Tuffaha @lenakt.bsky.social just won the National Book Award for Poetry, for Something about Living.

clip studio paint is the program i use on both ipad and desktop and it is also the only art software i consider a friend

Today, the ICC issued a warrant for the arrest of two Israeli leaders responsible for the war crimes in Gaza. The policies and military actions ordered by these criminals killed my father and little sister. (1/2)

beautiful day for the ICC to issue arrest warrants, and every day until the end of time will be a beautiful day to remember Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken should also be liable for aiding and abetting genocide

Breaking: The ICC has officially issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes. It was a unanimous ruling.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD @lenakt.bsky.social WON THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN POETRY IVE BEEN CRYING FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT

This memoir took my breath away. Javier’s words, colors, and inquiries sing to all the right notes, then some. I was in the trucks, on the shore, in the ocean, and tucked into Chino's jacket as the fish flew by. Thank God for the blessing of poets writing prose. #BookSky #Solito #Immigration

I’m on the DNC for 32 yrs: 16 on the Executive Committee, 11 as chair of the resolutions committee, & on the Unity/Reform Committee. I’m pushing for budget transparency & accountability, & party democracy. But I guess all I’ll ever be is that “pro-Palestinian” guy. It’s bigotry

“The lives of political prisoners of the Middle East are traded like currency in the Western political bazaar.” On the Day of the Imprisoned Writer, I wrote for The Markaz Review. themarkaz.org/liberation-c...

In non fraud news- Alaa basically forced me to video call her even though she has plenty of other documentation (including an insta that predated the war and tons of unique photos) so I could see her adorable twins who waved at me while the quadcopter flew overhead
