No One Should Starve for Being Born Here My name is Eslam Mohammad, I’m 24 years old, and I’m from Gaza.  Over the past year, I’ve lived through unimaginable horror.  I lost my home, my work as a photographer and artist, my friends, and the ...

Artist Eslam, whose account here was deleted, is looking for someone to manage a bsky account for her. Is anyone able to take this on? Please share with anyone supporting Palestinian accounts.

I stand with Eslam — her account @soma-eslam.bsky.social was unfairly suspended. Please email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz and ask Bluesky to restore it. Every message counts — let’s help her get her voice and community back.

“Bored” is an interesting way to describe being brutalized by militarized police and driven back to work due to no healthcare or safety net.

Repost of u can ❤️‍🩹

Never claimed otherwise, just sick of the hot takes that Americans have not done any sustained protests.

A trio of photos of Eslam, the first of her before, young and fresh faced wearing a keffiyeh wrapped around her head. The second a much less healthy Eslam, with skin issues and wearing a plain headscarf. The last a before Eslam hugging a fluffy cat. Happy.

A selfie of Eslam and one of her siblings, smiling happily,

You knew Eslam The Artist when she had an account, that broke no rules but was suspended, taking away access to her friends, she's so young and responsible for her family trapped in Palestine. She has sacrificed her wellbeing to fight, you can help ease that burden. Donate. Share.

Eslam with a keffeyah on, crying with reddened eyes and cheeks.

Eslam has been banned multiple times from this site. At this point, I can't help but see it as active malice. She's escaped from Gaza to Egypt, but the rest of her family is still in Gaza and needs help. You can donate to her here:

So Occupy, the Palestine encampments, and the free zones created and defended during the George Floyd protests didn’t happen?

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Hey friend I see what you do here, how can I support you? I’m barely on bluesky anymore bc I’m part of the mastodon migration but I am ok dming if you don’t mind a slower response

"how could people look at Trump and think he is a good businessman because he played one on TV?" idk maybe the same reason we evidently associate being hot with virtue

Please support Lubna and her family ❤️🙏 They have been a member of this community for a long time now (despite having accounts removed by bluesky)

Giving up on people because you don't want to do anything to help is a really awful way to be, but also they will come for us too you idiots.

Also, sell your house if you’re so principled. You park your privileged ass in a vacation house a US resident could be living in, yet you act like your pussy hat protests make you anything less than a capitalist. Go on with being the voice of the “rest of the world.”

You “live in Canada”? Not you “are Canadian”? Sure sounds like a wealthy white US citizen hiding in Alberta.

Get off your high horse and worry about the fascism rising in your own province. No one’s coming to save a scolding bitch.

Were you planning to start soon?

This is how ICE drove by protesters yesterday. A row of state police separated protesters and ICE vehicles.

The thing I respect about Greta Thunberg is that she understands most people in the Western world don’t give a shit about atrocities until someone white is affected.

So she’s doing what needs to be done to keep up the pressure.

If more white folks followed that example, we’d all be fine.
