maybe overused, maybe underused, maybe misunderstood, maybe intimately felt, maybe specific, maybe general, maybe greatest truth, maybe worst lie, and even still, such a meaningful word: love

Think of all the horrific images you’ve seen from Gaza. Now think of what worse carnage and murderous depravity Israel must be inflicting now to cut off the internet.
🚨BREAKING: Gaza is reportedly suffering a total comms blackout. No phones. No internet. Across north, south, and central Gaza. Palestinians can’t warn each other about strikes or reach civil defense teams for rescue.

the food situation in gaza is dire. family members have told me that the children have been reduced to eating a scoop of rice a day & are getting sick from hunger. it's not a question of price. it's a question of access. ISRAEL IS PREVENTING ACCESS TO FOOD & STARVING CHILDREN.
I have lost so much weight. I eat bread only twice a week, not because I am on a diet but because it is simply not available. And when it is, the prices are unbearable. Flour has almost disappeared. There is no cash in the market, and to get your own money you have to pay high

Israel has bombed telecommunications infrastructure across most of Gaza. Internet access has been almost entirely cut off, with no updates on when or if it will return. I’m writing this from the edge of the sea, where a faint signal still manages to reach my eSIM.

i am in a group with other Palestinian diaspora members of the survival campaign support front and there's a growing trend amongst non-Palestinian allies with regards to adding more work on top of the work we're already doing. ALL of us are over capacity and we hope you all will

I can’t believe that disabled people have to reiterate that bodily autonomy means wanting to live too.
Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals: No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion. It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports. If it is, it’s not compassion. It’s eugenics 🧵

The Israeli regime cutting off communications from Gaza at the same moment that it appears poised to attack Iran is another dangerous sign. Is the regime preparing to use the distraction of war on Iran to complete its genocidal final solution in Gaza away from the eyes of the

Very dangerous signs coming out of the Middle East today. If the Israeli regime, which has been perpetrating genocide in Palestine and committing aggression across the region, manages to pull the US into another illegal war on its behalf- this time with Iran- the costs will be

Only people who have e-sims have access to the internet across Gaza. It takes you more than an hour to connect, and another hour to post. But why did Israel bomb the main internet fiber route? Why is Israel insisting on isolating Gaza from the world? So we are now deprived

Egypt is deporting activists trying to break the Gaza siege. These are the times we are living in, where solidarity is being criminalised and complicity is being normalised. At the same border where trucks of aid wait. At the same Rafah Egypt keeps mostly shut.
Egypt has mass detained 40 Algerian activists including 3 prominent members of the North African aid convoy to Rafah, this morning in Cairo.
