It is shocking to me how many people think looking at gore and corpses is a necessity for fighting for Palestine. You do not have to do that. You can not watch those videos, but you cannot use that as an excuse to give up and look away. It is your responsibility to raise hell about atrocities you're paying for. You ought to be loudly and actively supporting those fighting genocide if you cannot get involved directly. Be part of a solution instead of being a bystander.
You can and should be feeling rage. You can and should be channeling that rage into your actions. Think beyond just the individual pleasures. We can build a world outside of our suffering, and we owe it to our communities and international comrades to do so. Local elections, blockades, boycotts, disobedience and direct action, labor unions, confederations, clinics, libraries, affinity groups—we have power to build a better world.
Crips for eSims for Gaza is an opportunity to help the people of Gaza stay connected to the rest of the world by donating money for ESims
This effort is spearheaded by three disability justice bad asses: Jane Shi, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Alice Wong
donating eSims is crucial, since there is talk on other platforms of shuttering other eSims donation projects due to lack of donations and dwindling resources
Just finished A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ABED SALAMA: ANATOMY OF A JERUSALEM TRAGEDY, by Nathan Thrall
This is both a snapshot of the contemporary state of #palestine and an approachable #history of the area wrapped in heartbreaking personal stories, all rotating around a single catastrophe that could only happen in a city built on #racists#apartheid infrastructure
I've only read a few Palestinian prisoners stories and I have to stop each time. I'm usually one who can sit and read for hours. It's devastating but necessary reading - we MUST get these stories to as many eyes as possible.
The president of #Barnard College lost a faculty-wide vote of no confidence on Tuesday, as criticism mounts over the school’s response to a pro- #Palestine 🇵🇸 encampment
It is the first no confidence vote against a president in the college’s history.
We need to bring more attention to the university-specific #bds demands that the students of the #studentspring are making: companies invested, dollar amounts, research relationships, etc. So far, the divestment aspect seems to be lost, when it's actually the most important part.
Seeing videos of #Palestine protestors in so many campuses being abused by coward pig cops #ACAB. I am so in love with all these brave college students. I am not surprised professors don't have the guts to join then. At least it is very rare that one does. Security in #academia is a powerful drug. Be careful you don't lose your integrity with your confort, @academicchatter.
Any of the Palestinian memoirs/biographies are great in so many ways. You can come in with little idea of the Middle East and get a human story as well as where that falls in the history/context of something people call complicated, but isn't.
One shows humor in the face of such circumstances as Palestinian refugees face and another shows that this carnage (by Israel) you see today has been happening a very long time (British+Zionists).
