‘Death or food’: The Palestinians killed by Israel at Gaza’s aid centres Palestinians still flock to Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites, even after hundreds are killed by Israeli forces.

Imagine that life, that world.

Do I die or do I eat? Do I die if I dare to eat? How can I not die to feed my children?

“But if the children actually belong to Sackets Harbor, if respected, dedicated and persistent local women had drawn the borders of the town in a way that clearly enveloped “our kids,” then uprooting the children from their home might be a more perilous endeavor.”

Four lessons for justice beyond the ballot box Trump’s attacks on Canada have taken the oxygen out of the election conversation. By hijacking very real economic anxieties, urgent issues have been sidelined in favour of tariff talk.

Many BIPOC organizers have turned away from party politics to focus on building power at the community level. But these efforts are not peripheral: they are the building blocks of a just future that will benefit everyone, says researcher @verosioufi.bsky.social.

Imagine if all those who are silent about the terrible evil being committed in Gaza spoke up | Owen Jones No crime in history has been so well documented by its victims. And yet inaction and censorship reign, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

In every atrocity in history, the silent are always principal players.

She was living through Israel breaking the ceasefire and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including children.

This is wrong. Why is that so hard for our media and politicians to say?

Don’t fight Trump’s colonization with more colonialism.

Fighting for everyone is fighting for yourself. People can’t just look out for themselves and assume they’ll be able to access them elsewhere. America’s delays and non-production will impact everyone.
