“We may have survived physically, but we haven't survived mentally.” Five Gaza journalists reflect on the toll of the genocide as the ceasefire takes effect.

"I knew life here [in Ireland] would be lonely, but the occupation forced me to make the impossible choice between exile and living in a place that has become a barren desert after the occupation stripped it of all signs of life."

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis CAIRO—As part of a historic ceasefire agreement with Hamas following two years of war, the Israeli government reportedly agreed Thursday to go back to killing Palestinians on a less frequent basis. “I...

Why write in a genocide? - We Are Not Numbers Emerging writers have flooded WANN with their stories and poems—documenting their lives, asserting their identities, and changing the world.

I am proud and honored to have been a mentor with We Are Not Numbers since 2015. It is a privilege to work with the brilliant young Palestinian writers I have met through this program.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Thank you! 🇦🇲 🇵🇸🇱🇧

I’ve Endured Two Years of Genocide. But I’m Still Here. The world before October 7, 2023, is a distant memory. But we carry on, fueled by the determination that this land will become a place of life once more.

"I am exhausted. We are exhausted. If fatigue can be worn, we are all wearing threadbare shirts. We long for the Gaza we once knew, for the lives we once lived, and for the selves we once were."

Hamas Responds to Trump The Palestinian movement appears to have, for the moment, successfully thrown the ball back into the US-Israeli court.

“Trump may just throw his weight behind an agreement even more meaningful than the recent peace treaty he concluded between Armenia and Cambodia.” I laughed when I read that line, but it’s all too grim.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.

The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

The hell our government has co-created. And as much as we have done to try to put an end to this depraved criminality, it hasn’t been enough. 💔

Terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh thrown out Chief magistrate at Woolwich crown court rules that ‘proceedings were instituted unlawfully and are null’ The terrorism case against the Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh has been thrown out following a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought. The 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was accused of displaying a flag in support of the proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, last November.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

At least 16 people have died in ICE custody so far this year.

At least 1,250 people detained by ICE are now missing.

Almost half of the people arrested by ICE have no criminal record.

This is fascism, and Trump made sure his oligarchs are profiting from it.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless.

Shocking.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Many thanks 🙏

It's so monstrous and unbearable to watch this unfold in real time. Day after day, week after week, month after month, now year after year--and our craven and corrupt institutions allow it to continue. Truly mind-numbing.
