It’s not a coincidence that Trad is being pushed at a time when men perceive women & their labor to be less available to them; either through colleagues who won’t tolerate sexual harassment or romantic partners who won’t tolerate unfulfilling partnerships

What's being described is torture and one of the methods white plantation owners used on enslaved Africans to mentally and physically break them to discourage escape and freedom of speech. Alligator Alcatraz and all ICE facilities are gov't sanctioned concentration torture camps.
NEW: Alligator Alcatraz detainees were locked for hours in a tiny outdoor “box” as punishment, per a new Amnesty International report. https://t.co/PvZzMXmWiE

There has been no mass killing in the 21st century that comes close to 60,000 people murdered in a matter of weeks. El Fasher is the largest civilian massacre of this century and the worst since Rwanda.
“Our low estimate is 60,000 people have been killed there in the last three weeks.” LOWEST. The world’s silence on Sudan, and on El Fasher especially, is unforgivable.

I urge you to spend 2 hours in your grocery store reading every label on what you would normally buy, aggregating every ingredient into a list, and then 24 hours researching “long term exposure to [ingredient]” Also, “[ingredient] processing of [company]” So many layers…

Israel saw a long list of A-lister international celebrities demand this man’s release, so it knocked his teeth out. Read that again.
The son of the Palestinian prisoner leader Marwan Barghouti wrote: “I woke up this morning to a call from a freed prisoner. He told me that my father, Marwan Barghouti, was physically tortured: his teeth and ribs were broken, part of his ear was cut off, and his fingers were

You can be better. If I, a single mom in LA on a below poverty income can do it, you can too.
i stopped buying stuff from amazon this year. sure, i may spend a little more and wait a little longer, but amazon's dominance is choking out small businesses, destroying the environment, and making us all passive participants in things we don't support

Israelis raped a child they imprisoned. IOF soldiers then labelled the organisation investigating the crime as a “terrorist entity.” Israel is the rape capital of the world.

It wasn’t enough for Columbia University to allow its own students to be abducted by ICE, or silence Palestine speech on campus through violence, or expel students for Palestine speech, or adopt a pro-apartheid & pro-genocide definition of anti-Semitism to further silence

Losing Spain (the most passionate fanbase), the Netherlands (the biggest financial contributor outside of the big 5) and Ireland (a big Eurovision country with lots of history) will quite literally break this contest forever. All because they wanna keep a genocidal terrorstate.

Must watch ⚡ Palestine🇵🇸 in 1989. This clip is from the original 1989 NRK documentary, often misattributed to Day of Rage. Rula, a young girl from the West Bank, speaking candidly about daily life under occupation, contrasted with the experiences of Israeli youth.
