“Samar, a mother of 4 children, lives in Gaza. Her father, mother, and most of her husband's relatives were killed in the war. She lives in extremely poor conditions in a tent. […] Her husband refused to leave his home and be displaced, and preferred death to leaving his home.”

🙋‍♂️Hello, I am Hammam and my brother has autism & special needs. We are asking you to save us. We are without a tent and without shelter. We are homeless and displaced. By God, we are hungry. My family is in dire need of your support to buy a tent and food

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Dina. Dina’s husband was taken by the occupation when the family was displaced from Rafah last May. She has two small children Jouri, 9 and Zain, 6. She is all on her own trying to keep them alive in a shoddy tent.

Since Israel signed a ceasefire deal with Lebanon, Israel has:

- killed 280 people
- wounded 625 people
- violated the agreement around 4,500 times

That’s in under a year

This is genuinely some bullshit on bsky's part. A reaction meme of charlie kirk gets a Black person a permanent suspension, but people who actively doxx and spread hate against marginalized people not only get to stay, but het followed by mods?

We see you, bsky, and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

But seriously, how dedicated to being a total douchebag to you have to be to still be driving a Cybertruck at this point?

Braver than every university administrator in the province!

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers. We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah. Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

Project Bring Ruaa and Her Family to Safety I'm helping my friend, Ruaa Naji, raise funds to help her family survive.

Ruaa should be receiving a proper salary, a scholarship, a recognition. She should have a roof, food, water, medicine, and clean air.

#ApartheidIsrael attacked the #GlobalSumudFlotilla in international waters & abducted those aboard prompting demonstrations around the world protesting this act of piracy against those trying to bring aid to victims of the #GazaGenocide; accountability...?

This is unacceptable
We won't let this be normalised
This is discrimination, psychological torture, concealment of war crimes, and overall, collaboration with fascism and genocide
We must try everything, so please do sign and keep sharing

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

A meme showing Danielle Smith with pursed lips and a disapproving look on her face next to a caption stating: Fund public education and pay Alberta teachers a salary that keeps up with inflation while limiting class sizes. Below is a photo of a smiling Danielle Smith giving a pinky wave next to a caption: Use public tax dollars to fund private charter schools to help enrich friends while defunding public education and attacking teachers

Hmmmm. 🤔

There is nothing under international law that prevents people attempting to break an illegal siege of an illegally-occupied territory by a country committing genocide.

It is the other way around.

These governments are breaking their own public commitments to stop a genocide.

Israel Raids Global Sumud Flotilla, Abducts Over 400 Volunteers, Group Says “This is an unlawful abduction, in direct violation of international law and basic human rights,” the flotilla said.

Overnight on Wednesday, Israeli soldiers raided more than a dozen boats carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, blocked the ships’ communications, and abducted over 400 volunteers from 47 countries. During the raid, Israeli forces attacked volunteers with water cannons and doused them with “skunk water.”

The Irish talked with British for more than 100 years to achieve independence.

I see we're using a very expansive definition of the word "talked" now

(this person is saying the Palestinians should do diplomacy instead of armed struggle, like, the Irish)

Alberta town hall moderator apologizes for 'inappropriate' spanking quip towards Calgary student | CBC News The moderator of the province's Alberta Next panel has publicly apologized for a remark Premier Danielle Smith has called offensive. Smith now says she considers the matter closed.

After cutting his mic, telling him his question about Alberta's teacher strike didn't make sense and that his parents should spank him, Premier Danielle Smith's executive director Bruce McAllister apologized in a post on X to 17-year-old Evan Li.

Li wants a direct apology.

"The #education of children must be part of any agreement to end the war in #Gaza. The proposed plan must offer some hope to more than 660,000 children out of school for the 3rd year."

right?!

Every historian who has ever taught Canadian history has some scary news for folks who thnk that doubling-down on primary resource extraction is the way to go

Again, I must ask, aside from not being a Convoy-supporting transphobe, how is Mark Carney not just 'Pierre Poilievre without the juvenile bluster'?

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shahed. Shahed is 23 years old and before this she was a stay at home mom to her children Rakan, 5 and Mohammad, 3. Her husband was a delivery driver for merchants. They lost their home and have been displaced many times.
