The document problem is the opposite of what it used to be. There's so much recorded that it gets treated as ephemeral, and will be locked away on corporate platforms that now own memory.

Just watching a doco on the Sydney punk scene 1977-1980. We're lucky there's photographs, recordings, even some super-8. Remember folks, *document* yr scene—it'll come in handy 45 years later!

“Where are our rights in education and playing? Like the other world’s children we want a beautiful life”

في كل مرة أسير في شوارع غزة تجتاحني الرغبة بالبكاء على ما حالت إليه المدينة.
رائحة دم الشهداء تفوح في كل حي، الركام يمتد على مدى النظر في كل اتجاه، القمامة تكوّمت لحدّ يمنع استمرار الحياة الطبيعية، ملامح الناس لا يبدو عليها سوى العجز.
#غزة أصبحت غير صالحة للحياة.

Every word represents a choice. “Terrorist” tells us where the failing leadership of PEN America has chosen to stand—with the American government, which continues to justify & to fund Israel’s genocidal onslaught on Gaza, not with PEN International, which called for a ceasefire on Oct 25.

A reader of The Times’ recent coverage might get the impression that the United States is a benevolent, rational peacemaker.

This, of course, is an absurd characterization, as the US has bankrolled and legitimized Israel’s genocide. Analysis in 🧵:

This vile, endlessly equivocating article is a prime example of how the The New York Times weaponizes certain language, chooses its sources and selectively contextualizes their reporting in order to provide cover for Israeli crimes.

Analysis in 🧵:

The UK government knows it is complicit in the slaughter of innocent Palestinians.

That is why it refuses to publish legal advice. That is why it evades our questions in Parliament. And that is why it maligns our mass movement for peace.

End arms sales to Israel, now.

🚨BREAKING! The march for land and liberation on Palestinian Land Day in NYC is 30k strong! The people of NYC and the world say STOP THE GENOCIDE! #ShutItDown4Palestine #LandDay #FreePalestine

If NYC has a homelessness problem, we should be investing in housing, homeless services, and lowering the cost of living. If we have a problem with mental illness or addiction, we should be investing in healthcare, not criminalization. We ALL want a safer NYC—not a police state.

There’s a food influencer I used to follow on TikTok from Gaza who did reviews of restaurants and dishes there. He disappeared for months after the war but now he’s back making cooking videos using things from aid packages for kids in the refugee encampments:

The Biden admin just used a 16 year old arms transfer approval to quietly send Israel more weapons & bombs to slaughter Palestinians.

Reporting that pushes ‘Biden admin is upset about how many Palestinians have been killed’ is PR for an admin that wants more dead Palestinians.
