At this rate, there will be no journalists left to cover israel’s atrocities in Northern #Gaza Strip. They are tactically targeting journalists paving the way to new massacres where there’s no media coverage. Jabalia and the northern provinces are being wiped out right now.

Thank you @Imani_Barbarin. As of now we have $200k in requests and we have sent out around $42k between our $20k and the money we’ve raised so far. We will continue to send out money as it comes in and get whatever we can to whomever needs it, including after Hurricane Milton.

Land Acknowledgements are always awkward and cringe for me. Mainly because non-Natives are always so pleased with themselves like "We did it!" And as a Native, you're put in the position of having to be "grateful" to them 🙄

I’m just one writer speaking out against genocide & yet my statement was described as a screed & I have been called an antisemite & other hateful, ableist names. A statement isn’t an invitation for debate. #FreePalestine #MacFellow macfound.org/fellows/class-o…
Hard to believe but I am a 2024 @macfound Fellow! I am accepting the MacArthur Fellowship amidst the genocide happening in Gaza and indiscriminate terroristic attacks in Lebanon by the state of Israel on the 76th year of their occupation of Palestine macfound.org/fellows/class-o…

I'll gently encourage folks to consider what is accomplished by praising someone for doing the least on Palestine, for criticizing apartheid but not settler colonialism or genocide, for criticizing resistance, for hyphenating & slashing Palestine or Palestinian with other words.
