The blood of Anas al-Sharif and other slain journalists is on the hands of Western media figures who have justified Israel’s crimes while ignoring, or excusing, the killing and intimidation of Palestinian journalists.

Liberalism is when the liberal powers that be, make a woman of colour landlord, a "homelessness minister", and liberals call it "progress", "girlboss feminist landlord", and "secure the bag strong woman", while she's throwing tenants out, increasing their rent, and creating more homelessness. Yaaay!

I donated. I hope you can too.

Support an Elderly Couple & Their Son Reach Safety Update: 10/5/24- because the family has had to go into the funds now to pay for essentials, we increased the fundraiser by $2,000 to offset these expenses.

i have an ask for someone very dear to me 🥹 sa'ad is a young man in gaza who is struggling like everyone else due to the high prices and food scarcity. he needs people to donate to his family's fundraiser!!! unfortunately they are almost out of funds :( chuffed.org/project/1104...

Please donate or share

excuses usually look like this:
1. what if it's a scammer
2. money can't get to them
3. isn't there NO food in gaza?
4. i don't want my name attached

if you espouse any of these beliefs you are an evil, evil person because you don't know the first thing about what's going on on the ground 🙂

wild how monied people would rather sit on their pile of cash and sigh "we can't do anything" when they quite literally can save people in gaza from death by donating to their campaigns.

What Ghassan Kanafani’s writing on the Palestinian anti-colonial struggle tells us about Gaza’s resistance today The editors of “Ghassan Kanafani: Selected Political Writings” talk to Mondoweiss about what the Palestinian icon’s writings can teach us about resistance to genocide in Gaza today.

The editors of “Ghassan Kanafani: Selected Political Writings” talk to Mondoweiss about what the Palestinian icon’s writings can teach us about resistance to genocide in Gaza today.

A father’s obituary for his martyred son in Gaza Mahmoud Al-Ghafari remembers his son, Yousef, who was killed in the Gaza genocide. “Israel killed Yousef, snuffed out his dreams, and silenced his beautiful spirit,” he writes. “For no crime other than the fact that fate decreed he be born in Gaza.”

A Gaza father just wrote the obituary no parent should ever have to write—mourning 19-year-old Yousef, “killed for the crime of being born Palestinian.” His words lay bare Israel’s ongoing genocide. Read his heartbreak, honor his son ⬇️ mondoweiss.net/2025/07/a-fa...

New paper! Here (in Nature Communications) we (Ale Geraci, Luca Surian, Lucia Gabriella Tina, & I; work led/run by Ale) show that 5-day-old newborns selectively attend to two distinct forms of prosocial over antisocial action: approaching versus avoiding and helping versus hindering.

Sharing our new paper published today in Nature Communications. In my view, this is our clearest demonstration to date that something profoundly changes in how infants encode the world around them before and after the emergence of self-representation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
