"I will not forgive you, neither in this life nor the next"
A Palestinian child, in tears, sends a message to the world following the horrors she witnessed in the Israeli massacre of worshippers at Al-Tabi'in School in northern Gaza this morning.

Almost everyone in my shelter is sick. We’ve been severely coughing & facing breathing difficulties, unable to go to a doctor as hospitals are already overwhelmed with victims.
Today a doctor in the house just told me it’s COVID, spreading rapidly in overcrowded areas. #Gaza

The war is a tragedy for the Sudanese people. It has forced an estimated 6.7 million people to flee from their homes. According to aid agencies, this is “the largest displacement crisis globally.”

I found Petro's linking of Gaza to imminent climate catastrophe to be very powerful. If First World governments and media can just explain away the deaths of tens of thousands of people - actively killed by an ally - imagine how easily they can write off faraway "natural" deaths

Sudanese journalists are in a unique and painful position — having to do their jobs while also being caught in the throes of this conflict.
They’re reporting about what’s happening to their country, to their families.
This clip caught that happening in real time.
'I didn't know that you came here.'
Sky's @YousraElbagir found her uncle in the crowds as evacuees were arriving in Jeddah from Sudan.

With aid groups suspending their work, resistance committees have filled the void. Their informal networks -- once used to hold anti-gov protests -- are being utilized to rescue civilians and maintain social cohesion amid the war.

In the face of a feckless ruling class who deal only death and impoverishment, the people of Sudan resist in acts of remarkable vigilance. The demonstration today is a chance to keep faith with them. حرية سلام و عدالة و الثورة خيار الشعب

That any attempt to acknowledge widespread, gratuitous harm experienced by women must also, always make room for the possibility that men's feelings might be hurt should leave no doubt as to who has the power and how determined they are to keep it.
Very rarely does power admit its viciousness. It cannot say 'let them call me bestial, let them call me monstrous'. It parades itself in perfumes and garlands. It needs to believe in its goodness, its benevolence, and wants you to believe it too.
Fascinating how well the theatre of Empire utilises our investment in the hero’s journey: the dragon is slain, the skies brighten and evil vanishes from the land. It tells us we have survived while the dead & dying remain uncounted.
Rather than how much abolition is supposed to take away, more value in imagining how much it leaves us with. At its deepest, it is a conscious return to the things that have always held us despite the failures of our social systems & against the omniscient eye of state terror.
This strange, beguiling ability of the powerful to convince the powerless that their victories are, if not the same, somehow aligned, complementary.
