“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Dr. King said it best. On MLK Day, I’m thinking about his call to stand up for justice, love others, and speak out when power goes too far. As the federal gov moves the opposite way, we’ll keep standing with our neighbors.

"If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale."

“There is still violence and violations of international law daily in Gaza and the West Bank”
President of @sinnfeinireland @MaryLouMcDonald explains why it’s so important we continue to march for Palestine. 🇵🇸

And so the genocide continues in hushed silence, with the rest of the world lulled into a false sense that it has ended... theguardian.com/world/2025/n…

British Airways pulling funding from Louis Theroux’s podcast just because he interviewed Bob Vylan is another example of corporations trying to silence voices who speak truth to power.
We won’t stay quiet. Communities now understand that collective boycotts and that of @British_Airways will affect their bottom line.
Collective solidarity with artists who speak truth to power by backing independent, unapologetic voices instead of corporations that think they can silence and censor is where the power lies.

#Gaza is in ruins.
So is its education system.
The Israeli Forces have destroyed or damaged most schools & education facilities in #Gaza.
Today, instead of going back to school, like most children around the world, around 660,000 girls and boys in Gaza will be sifting through the rubble, desperate, hungry, traumatized & mostly bereaved.
The longer they stay out of school with their trauma, the higher the risk they become a lost generation, sowing the seeds for more hatred & violence.
#Ceasefire is the only way forward, to reverse the famine & the “Scholasticide” hitting the children of Gaza.

Jason Hickel accepts the power of the Israel lobby on U.S. politics.
But for him American support for Israel after the 1950s is primarily driven by one thing: increasingly strident Arab nationalist politics in a strategically critical region.

😔My message says that I am a person like any other person who believes that life is a right for everyone.
⭕My family in Gaza has gone through many crises that have brought me to the state you see me in now.

why does the US continue to support Israel, despite condemnation from its own citizens and the world?
Israel helps the US crush liberation movements in the region. and the occupation of Gaza upholds the structures of capitalist imperialism

Who is drawing parallels between the Holocaust and the Palestinian genocide now? Moshe Feiglin is: “Just as Hitler vowed to eliminate every Jew and said he couldn’t live as long as one Jew remained, I say:...They must be eliminated.” aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed…

“One of the main successes of Israeli propaganda is to convince the world that the situation is complicated. But it's far from being complicated..”
