A simple but important way to support Palestinian writers is to read their work. A helpful list is in the link below but please do explore @arablit.bsky.social more widely as well as publishers like @commapress.bsky.social

Today would have been George Floyd’s 52nd birthday. He should be here celebrating with his loved ones.

A reminder that Israel has used the dead bodies of Palestinians as bargaining chips for decades.

Last year Mustafa Barghouti explained that Israel is holding over 500 bodies.

jokes aside, racism and other forms of bigotry are actually further mystified by pretending that these forms of discrimination did/do not exist. you start making anti-Black racism sound more natural and primordial as opposed to the outcome of political processes

The Black Women Driving a Food Revolution in Rural Mississippi From grocery stores to food distribution services, Black women are leading efforts to feed their communities.

She added that her work has inspired others. “Nobody wants to invest in these rural communities. They don’t want to invest in the people. But just do what’s put on your heart to do, and the rewards will come.”

Stell dir vor, du setzt in Gegenwart eines Kindes völlig unverhältnismäßige Gewalt gegen dessen Vater ein – und wenn sich Menschen darüber empören, erklärst du, das Problem sei nicht die Gewalt, sondern die Empörung. Klingt totalitär? Kein Wunder.

Doch, es handelt sich sehr wohl um Geiseln. Von den 2000 freigelassenen Palästinensern waren es über 1700 die ohne jegliche Anklage, wahllos, von der IDF entführt worden sind. Es gibt fast 150 palästinensische Kinder, die ohne Anklage und Verfahren in israelischen Foltergefängnissen verweilen.

Democrats Pull Away From AIPAC, Reflecting a Broader Shift

Taking AIPAC money is now seen as a liability for Democratic candidates, as tidal shift seen in US public opinion over Gaza genocide www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Die @buchenwald-dora.bsky.social betreibt rassistische Geschichtsklitterung im Dienste der ethnischen Säuberung Palästinas und des Genozids an den Palästinenser*innen.

Politics is theater to white people. It’s all entertainment. They know they will not bear the brunt of this so they can be excited for things like this.

5th person confirmed to be cured of HIV Researchers are announcing that a 53-year-old man in Germany has been cured of HIV.

5th person to be cured of HIV

“Today, researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years ago.”

I’m going to be sharing a few gofundmes today for some mutuals in Gaza that have recently reached out.

Please share and consider donating ♥️🇵🇸

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year.

It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land.

It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells.

Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.

Israeli occupation forces launched a large military raid targeting the city of #Jenin and its refugee camp since dawn today.

They also besieged a house south of Jenin, stormed it, and killed those inside, confiscating their bodies.
