Anas Al-Sharif أنس الشريف @ This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so l could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah's will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where l am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend-patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom. 3:25 PM • 8/10/25 • 675K Views

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C. The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

It is true that the “your brain isn’t done cooking until 25” thing is a myth.

But so is sudden maturation at 18.

People will have to face the fact that kids should have autonomy, and yeah, that might lead to long lasting consequences. But the other option is nobody has autonomy.

Watch the moment a group of Israeli activists stormed a live television broadcast to protest Israel’s war on Gaza.

Members of Standing Together, wearing 'Leave Gaza' T-shirts, jumped onto the stage during the airing of the Big Brother show on Channel 13.

Painting depicting a lot of people on a beach wearing 1930s fashions. In the background is a European-style apartment complex and some faint white sails on green water. The group of people closest to the water sit under a giant umbrella stuck in the sand, their arms and heads bare, wearing white dresses, their faces soft blurs of color. In the middle-ground stand a thin woman in a flowing white dress with no sleeves tied by a belt. It reaches down to her feet. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, speaking to a hatless man wearing a black one-piece bathing suit under an ankle-length tan trench-coat. A woman walking in from the side of the picture holds a wide-brimmed hat at her side and wears an ankle-length, flowing pink skirt and a sleeveless black shirt. In the foreground, two ladies chat as they stroll. One rests a white umbrella on her shoulder and wears a long-sleeved, shin-length dress with blue-and-white stripes tied by a belt. She wears a black hat with a drooping brim and brown shoes. A ruff of white peeks through her dress. The lady next to her wears a similar blue dress with white dots and a white-speckled red scarf. The brim of her hat is rakishly tilted. They appear to be white or Asian. Closer to the viewer is another couple, one a lady leaning on her closed umbrella, wearing white gloves, an ankle-length red dress, a red-speckled scarf and wide-brimmed red hat. She appears to be Asian. The man behind her, darker-skinned than her, wears long white pants, a jacket, white button-up shirt and tie. The arms and necks of two other people with brown skin are visible in the immediate foreground, with hints of white straps holding dresses.

How people dressed before we invented sunscreen:

"People in olden times did not block the life-giving radiance of our sun, as we do!"

Have you heard of hats?

Anti. Sunscreen.

We have gone so far in the distrust of public health that we are pro sunburn and skin cancer now.

What the fuck.

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.

I'm old enough to remember a year or two ago when both "we're not killing journalists that's illegal!" and "We're not bombing *hospitals* for god's sake" were major talking points. Violations of these things now no longer seem to even register.

Christ.

Look if your choices are "Free Palestine" and "supporting a genocide in which journalists and children are mass murdered and hospitals and aid workers are carpetbombed" I'm pretty sure "Free Palestine" is the better, more moral, and less deadly option

The Israeli military has murdered the entire Aljazeera Arabic team. They bombed their tent outside a hospital.

THIS CANNOT GO ON.

2022 tweet from genspect saying 18-25 year olds shouldnt be making life altering decisions- they're still adolescents, their brains havent fully matured yet. trauma, mental health issues, neurodiversity and difficulty accepting homo/bisexuality can cause gender distress & are better addressed with therapy

Every time you say "the brain doesn't mature until age 25" going "adult minors" you're repeating anti-trans, ableist propaganda meant to strip adults of their healthcare autonomy. It's a misrepresentation of the study, when someone is 18 they're an adult! SHUT! UP! (SOURCES BELOW)🧵

You see more trans women in online spaces specifically because we have been forced out of every other venue.

We have to build our own networks online where the tools to build a platform are slightly more accessible than the ones held by traditional media gatekeepers.

Trump administration is evading court orders blocking its agenda

Just wondering how one "evades" a court order, because I'm pretty sure that's just called "violating" it

🧪love when aerosol science and medicine converge!

I thought i was in the wrong side of tiktok when I saw a guy bragging he'd applied to ICE but he was doing it to waste their time and suggesting others so the same

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

If birthright citizenship is under attack so is every other amendment and the constitution itself.

Back to school means back to school illness outbreaks, With schools starting to open we will soon see illness outbreaks.
I have created the 2025/2026 school illness tracking thread on my site. Who knows how big the list will get this school year.

Mind you, my school had no rape crisis center. He showed up to this event commemorating his life's work with this bit all ready to go that had nothing to do with us.

I don't know if it was reported widely or at all (it wasn't a big or renowned school.) But the comment wasn't off the cuff - my friend overheard him at a meet-and-greet beforehand talking to a student about what he wanted to say. The kid agreed to set him up with a question during Q and A.

When Hitchens spoke at my college he cited rape crisis centers as an example of students being coddled.

ICE looted their restaurant and tried to break into the safe. News chopper footage caught them backing their cars up to the door and carrying out cases of food.

Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.

“Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1 percent and 7.5 percent respectively, according to a report… That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates”

Covid Caution - LP.8.1, NB.1.8.1, XFC, XEC, X.. @CovidCaution People being infected by this COVID wave and being surprised saying things like "COVID is back " just makes me angry at this point. It's like someone crying climate change is "back": "You guys. It's SO hot outside. I think climate change is back It's like, so bad again." 10:22 AM • 2025-08-07 • 51K Views

I’ve heard people saying this since 2023

They seriously believe that COVID disappeared in 2022 when the gov’t lifted mask mandates

“COVID” is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus has never disappeared, it’s present all year round)

“COVID” does NOT mean mask mandates or “lockdowns”

why does the working class, the larger of the classes, not simply eat the capitalists

Watching videos of police dragging away grannies for holding an anti genocide bit of card, thinking about the time the Met buried reports that one of their officers was a predator, then after he used police ID to kidnap, rape & murder a woman, they then arrested women for holding a vigil for her.
