Palestine is known as a “bird lover’s paradise” & pigeon keeping is a popular hobby. This pigeon is displaying signs of severe shock from frequent bombing, birds do not like loud noises. Everyone is suffering in Gaza, people and animals.

These fucks cheerlead actual massacres but consider any minor blowback against their Jew murder fetish to be violence. How are you going to liberate Palestine when you’re such a fragile American baby?

y’all, pls wear a mask (KN95/N95/KF94) & look into getting a faraday bag. law enforcement has used surveillance tech like stingrays to monitor protestors. don’t go alone, go with a trusted friend. stay safe everyone! 🍉❤️

i feel like i can’t even grieve my family bc I’m under so much scrutiny and surveillance as a Palestinian student. so tired of being called a hamas supporter or being told that I’m “anti-semitic” just for saying that my family was bombed in Gaza.

when Edward Said taught at Columbia University, he received so many death threats that his office had bulletproof glass. He stayed within arm’s distance of a panic button throughout his academic career due to bomb threats, vandalism, & students spying on him.

there is a sick irony to scum like Netanyahu saying Palestinians are barbaric terrorist monsters, as Edward Said reflects on here. Not only did he receive death threats, but he and his people were violently dispossessed of their land and home by the actual Israeli terrorists

for those of y’all wondering why there are tons of fundraisers to evacuate from Gaza, it’s bc Egyptian authorities charge typically $5K+ per person to cross Rafah. if you don’t have $$ or family that can help, crowdfunding is often people’s best option.

Student activists from Columbia University Apartheid Divest Coalition disrupted a campus event featuring Hillary Clinton. Activists spoke about their own experiences w/ sexual assault. Using interpersonal violence to justify killing thousands of Palestinians is wrong.

this is wild. he’s more concerned with people’s feelings over protest chants versus the 30,000+ palestinians who have been murdered. so many palestinian students at columbia university have lost family. we’ve been sprayed with chemical weapons. admin doesn’t care.

steps you can take to reduce cobalt consumption: - opt for pre owned electronics over new. - avoid disposable vapes, use a rechargeable one instead. - join a buy nothing group or start one in your area. creating a circular economy helps reduce demand.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo produces nearly three-quarters of the world’s cobalt but those who dig up the valuable mineral often work in horrific and dangerous conditions, says Siddharth Kara, author of Cobalt Red.
