I write about how the regime uses compulsory hijab to maintain its image and brand. To burn it is to reject the regime in its entirety. The women of Iran are using the very symbols of the regime, to reject its legitimacy as they call for change.

Dear world: I know it’s hard to keep looking, but please don’t move on.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza never stopped, not for one moment.
It’s still happening. Hour after hour.
If you’re in a rich country, your government is likely prolonging it.
#ArmsEmbargoNow
Pass it on.

Absolute trash humans who are going after a young woman who has had the strength, wherewithal, to find words and energy to report on surviving genocide.
They want us to die the most horrific deaths and to do it quietly.
Let our victory be our revenge.

Kamala’s message is loud and clear: It’s time to fall in line and shut up about genocide.
But we will not be silenced.

Dear @KamalaHarris . “If you want Trump to win” then keep doing what you’re doing. But don’t gaslight our community, silence us, then blame us for a failure of your own Biden admin’s doing.

Canadians paid for this state of the art solar powered water plant in Rafah. Canadian engineers helped build it. Israeli soldiers blew it up by mining it with explosives. This is not self defence.
Canadians have a right to know this story. Here it is. #OnTheLine #Gaza
72 hours & no Canadian media coverage. Normally, we’d find the Canadian engineers involved in building the solar powered water plant in Gaza & get a comment from @GAC_Corporate about Israel blowing up their project. But, it’s Israel, so this story wouldn’t make it past the pitch.

Palestine is represented in the #OlympicGames by 8 athletes only because Zionists killed 350 of our athletes in 10 months.

France’s extraordinary election results provide an urgent, valuable lesson.
Don’t concede ground to those who sow division and fear. Build a bold Left movement that offers an alternative of inclusion and hope.
That is how you defeat the far right.
