So excited to share Survivor Injustice is out TODAY! This book is about how domestic abuse & state violence are systemic and interconnected, and if you read it I hope you learn as much as I did from the brave, brilliant voices featured in its pages❤️
I'm very offline so "Ian Miles Cheong" sounded familiar but I was unsure who he was. Then I realized—thats the man who sold me weed while I visited family in Malaysia! It's hard to forget a legendary drug dealer who shows you his gun collection/his plots to overthrow his country.
So the dumbest most racist white people across the country just invented a “global day of jihad” for Friday the 13th, bosses & employers told their employees to be safe on the “global day of jihad,” social media let it spread, and now a Muslim child in Chicago has been murdered.
A source tells TMZ the reason Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner:
“She likes to party, he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles.”
State Sen. Megan Hunt, who has a trans son, told her Republican colleague: "You hate [my son] more than you love your own family. And that’s why you’re here."
Do people who say things like this just ignore every report from the UN and children’s rights groups about rampant sexual abuse and torture against Palestinian children jailed by Israel ..?
Gigi Hadid literally just got on Instagram and typed with her dumb fingers that Israel rapes Palestinian children and then had to audacity to post that heinous lie to her millions of followers. The woman should lose every single job she’s booked for and never be hired for…
bisan’s recent update on instagram, she literally ran for her life today and thank god she survived, I’m seriously praying for her and every palestinian every single day. this isn’t a life anyone should have to live, you shouldn’t wake up every single day running for you life,…
Israel has murdered another Palestinian journalist.
Mohammed Abu Samra lost his life in an Israeli sniper attack north of Gaza.
This brings the total number of killed journalists in Gaza up to 82 journalists.
"We are in Gaza dying slowly."
Eleven-year-old Karam Zyara, who was forced to flee his home in Gaza City with his family, says: "Please, end the war as soon as possible."
Isnt it a bit weird that you can post things like this nakedly cheering on racist genocidal violence on a popular social platform .. and that’s just fine ?
I don’t think we talk enough about Elon Musk’s sexual harassment lawsuit or how many women factory workers at Tesla are suing for sexual harassment that they say Musk’s online behavior encouraged
For those keeping track he’s now vetoed:
-expanded protections for trans kids in custody disputes
-unemployment benefits for striking workers
-anti caste discrimination bill
-bill supported by truck drivers/labor to protect their jobs by requiring drivers in self driving cars
I still remember our last conversation after he sold me 10 lb of weed w/ a side of fentanyl. I told him, "Ian be careful. You smoke too tough. Your swag is too different. Your bitch is too bad. They’ll kill you." He told me, "Some things are worth dying for." Rest in Peace🙏
Just got off the phone w/ my family in Malaysia; they were shocked by news of Ian's death as they'd bought 3 bricks of cocaine from him just 24 hrs ago.
My 10-yr-old niece said w/ tears in her eyes, "IanKanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture crossover I can celebrate🙏
Rashida Tlaib booed our 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton. She was the only Dem member of Congress not to endorse President Biden in 2020. She put out a video accusing him of genocide and urging people not to vote for him. Has she thanked him for the ceasefire? Rep. Rashida (Hamas)
This is just abhorrent. Muslim ppl have been endlessly generous to explain over & over—when they should NOT have to—what “martyrs” means, if you’ve followed any Gazans mourning loved ones youve seen them use it. Now putting racist spin on it & comparing it to the CONFEDERACY..??
I hope he's OK... After all, he dedicated his life to fighting for free speech... too bad he was advocating for it for the wrong country 💔 Take it easy, my friend
Statement from one of the Palestinian shooting victims, Hisham Awartani: “Any attempt like this is horrific, be it here or in Palestine…
“Had I been shot in the West Bank where I grew up, medical services which saved my life here would have likely been withheld by Israel”
There's obviously a lot that came to mind when I read this statement, but I think what's most striking is that an International Planned Parenthood Federation member's facility in Gaza was literally destroyed by Israel in October and...that's not even mentioned in this
so 1 yr after a very public celebrity trial that spun a woman who said she was raped/abused by her husband as the ~real~ abuser/manipulator, they gave us a show that concludes w/ the twist that a woman who's routinely physically/emotionally abused is actually the real manipulator
Now me personally I would not be glib about a report that a show I helped create glorifies rape and tossed out a woman director for portraying “too much of a female perspective”..
Israel warned hospitals to evacuate
Only Israel has the military power for an attack like this
Israel literally took credit for the attack in social media posts
If you believe anything other than that you are a heartless deranged conspiracy theorist
What liberal politicians can't seem to grasp is that literally no one is asking for ~funny~, terminally online politicians. We're asking/begging for a fucking ceasefire. The embarrassing attempts at comedy we're getting instead are just gross/insulting
hundreds of people are saying that they feel sorry for jeffrey dahmer, that they would write letters to him if he was alive and that he didn’t hurt his victims “that much”
Really puzzled by this framing.. Japan historically colonized pretty much all of East Asia, Japan isnt white. You dont have to be white to displace & kill. Early Zionists proudly called Israel a settler project, relied on Britain/other western powers to create & uphold Israel etc
To those calling Israel a “settler” or “colonial” nation:
Israel is only 25% white.
70% of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi or Sephardic—brown skinned people from the Middle East or Africa.
Millions of Jews were forcibly expelled by neighboring Arab countries.
The IDF has already walked back the “cutting off babies heads” claim as unsubstantiated hours before this post was made…. But the damage is clearly already done and that claim is going to be used to justify horrific inhuman violence against Palestinian people
I can’t wait for the people disappointed in Gigi Hadid’s extremely well-put and measured response to see that Bella will also not, in fact, be endorsing Hamas cutting off babies’ heads.
G said “innocent civilians getting massacred is bad, actually” and that is..controversial. Kk
When western “feminists” are completely silent about the atrocities against women that Israel routinely, systematically commits w/ unconditional US funding/support, I’m baffled they still think they have any credibility to talk about violence against women in any other context
They’ll always just stand there completely useless when ppl confront them because there’s no comeback.. like they know they killed all those people they just don’t care and are annoyed that other people do care
Not many know this but growing up I was a vegetarian for 8 years and wanted to be on an eco terror watchlist by age 17 after being radicalized by PETA’s youth outreach program. but sadly my college freshman year boyfriend made me so depressed I started eating bacon again to cope
Israeli forces dragged civilians out of a building, lined the fathers and sons up against a wall and shot them while their families were made to watch.
They then herded their mothers, wives and kids into a room and tossed in grenades.
And the US overturned Roe v Wade you racist fuck so should we all get carpet bombed? Lmao imagine pretending to care about repro justice while Israel forces Gazans to have c-sections w/o anesthetic, miscarry/go into premature labor from bombardment, slaughters preterm babies
There’s no way you can credibly make a documentary about this trial without talking to experts who can contextualize the textbook tactics of DARVO and gaslighting that Depp’s team used. Depp relied heavily on public illiteracy around DV, and not talking to experts enables that
‘Depp v. Heard’ Netflix director Emma Cooper did not want to interview Johnny Depp and Amber Heard for her docuseries:
“My intention, right from the start, was to make a cogent and interesting reflection of what happened without using interviews or experts.”
“There’s an idea being pushed that anyone who stayed behind is… some kind of a threat. The people that stayed behind are heroes. They know that they’re going to die.”
American Nurse Emily Callahan is interviewed on
@cnn
@andersoncooper
talking about her experience for 26 days in Gaza.
She lived through over 3 weeks of the bombardment by the IDF, and when asked if she would go back to Gaza to serve with/the Palestinians she responds "in a…
lmao the sheer amount of replies to this that are in the vein of "if i had a girlfriend i would never let her dress like that" well luckily enough you dont have to worry about that and probably never will <3
“You are the governor of Colorado, not the governor of Tel Aviv..."
Protesters disrupted Colorado Governor Jared Polis in Denver as he held a pro-Israel event.
Amber Heard was victimized by one of the most vile, misogynist smear campaigns in modern history & almost everyone in her industry remained silent or supported the man she says abused her.
Over the weekend, her In the Fire colleagues praised her resilience & "shining light":
To be clear he's unsubtly attacking single women voters, who are one of the most powerful and left-leaning voting blocs in the country. This also comes as the right has escalated demands to raise the voting age & repeal the 19th amendment:
I donr even know what to say I’m so disgusted. But lets be fucking clear, anyone on fucking Earth, fucking Satan could be at that refugee camp that so many people had no choice but to go to: You do not bomb a fucking refugee camp and kill hundreds. You do not. Shame on you My god
Horrible. Israel has an obligation to protect civilians under the laws of war. Hamas’s use of innocent Palestinians as human shields does not excuse bombing a location filled with civilians.
Amy Schumer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Chris Rock, Gwyneth Paltrow, Katy Perry, Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake and more signed an open letter to President Joe Biden, calling for the release of all hostages taken by Hamas.
On top of that: Israel deliberately targets hospitals/medics/ambulances and has for some time; an ongoing deeply evil pattern. And again: they WARNED hospitals to evacuate because of imminent attacks
Please remember: In 2021, Israel destroyed 15 ambulances and 9 health institutions in Gaza, including the only lab capable of COVID-19 testing.
Doctors Without Borders literally said that Israel targets healthcare facilities to send a message to Gazans:
I love how people will remain eternally spewing their slut shaming conspiracy theories and ignore all the pretty concerning reports about how controlling Sudeikis was and all the other fairly eyebrow raising shit he allegedly did lol
Do the people who defend white racists who are pushing these lies think vile racist conspiracy theories are just a little oopsie without material life or death consequences??? I’m at the end of my fucking rope
I wish more people with the Hadids’ influence—especially those who aren’t Palestinian like they are—would speak up like this, not because celebrities are paragons of morality but bc it would make everyone safer in speaking up too
Custodial staff at UNC Chapel Hill are paid about $32,000 per year, which is in pretty stark contrast with the wealthy right-wing lawmakers behind our gun laws
Variety made the incredibly frustrating choice to portray Amy Schumer as a victim of cancel culture, misogyny & overly zealous activism from pro-Palestine activists, w/o context into *why* she's the object of so much warranted criticism/backlash:
Across Gaza C-sections are being performed to try to save babies as pregnant ppl are struck by Israeli bombardment. But anesthetics are scarce and some of these C-sections are performed without. I talked to
@CARE
and Palestinian Family Planning & Protection Association on this:
Good. This man is fucking psychotic for signing a resolution condemning South Africa’s genocide charge against Israel while posing as a progressive. His entire bullshit campaign is premised around the idea Californians are too stupid to know right from wrong and is just insulting
Supporting genocide and refusing to even be politely confronted about it, letting security manhandle a peaceful dissenter, is shameful and embarrassing and tells you everything you need to know about Fetterman
wait how is robin thicke allowed on masked singer didn't his ex-wife literally get a restraining order against him for his abuse and didn't emily ratajkowski accuse him of sexual assault..? but ok sure cancel culture etc etc :)
Say Palestinians should be removed from the US—crickets from Dems. But when Palestinian American Rashida Tlaib says from the river to the sea they want her head on a plate..? Racist vile unserious party that’s ceded all moral authority to those they claim to be the lesser evil to
Republican Congressman Ryan Zinke has introduced a bill to expel Palestinians from the United States. And ban Palestinians from entering the country. What the fuck.
@bestiejwa
before I left his drug compound, he put an AK-47 in my hands and required that I shoot at the dart board before I was allowed to leave. I was afraid for my life!
Cant even fathom using it as an excuse that you "warned hospitals" before bombing them.. injured ppl obviously cant escape let alone on nonexistent roads w/o electricity, fuel, food/water.. the evil we're seeing is so crushing, israel so clearly doesnt see Palestinians as human
I love her letter so much—especially as she emphasizes workplace sexual harassment is a *labor* issue & by leaving the industry she’s effectively going on strike: "I depart, I go on strike, I join my comrades, whose quest for meaning & dignity rules over that of money and power."
BREAKING: In light of the Supreme Court's decision in
#Dobbs
to overturn Roe v Wade, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing next month to explore the grim reality of a post-Roe America.
Something that makes me sick is that you just won’t see any of this depending on where you get your news. You won’t see the Palestinian kids Israel just released to their families, you won’t know anything about how many kids Israel imprisons and what they do to those children

for nearly half an hour.
Grimes thinking she’s chaotic good while publicly supporting a transphobic fascist wealth hoarder.. I have to laugh at her complete lack of basic policy understanding and grip on reality
WATCH: Hamas hid weapons in incubators in the NICU, incubators that were supposed to be used to treat premature babies.
These weapons were found following the confession of hospital workers.
The Kamal Adwan hospital was used by Hamas as a command center.
Thank you Governor of California
@GavinNewsom
for your visit of solidarity to Israel. We will never forget our friends who stood by Israel in our most difficult times.
“I am not asking you to sit here through late nights to vote on these bills that we’re dragging out. I’m asking you to love your family more than you hate mine."
234-188-4: House votes to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the only Palestinian American in Congress, "for promoting false narratives regarding the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for destruction of the State of Israel." She's the 26th House member to be censured.
men's rights lawyers are actually so fucking scary, especially with custody battles as a tool for abusers to further punish/control victims and their kids. one study found when mothers allege domestic violence in custody cases fathers won 73 percent of the time
I'm truly perplexed by tabloids framing screenshotted texts shared by Jonathan Majors as exonerating him when they really only raise more questions. A few things that are really eyebrow-raising for me:
The Michigan man who gunned down his wife, nearly killed their daughter, and was fatally shot by police, had fallen down a “rabbit hole” of conspiracy theories leading up to the shooting, his other daughter says.
