This is so, so important, from @monaeltahawy
ALT Text: We are not obligated to show respect to those in power. We do not owe politeness, civility, or decorum to racists, misogynists, and bigots. Remember your power. “Getting along” and “uniting” and “being civil” with white supremacist patriarchy makes you complicit in its crimes. We must never “get along” with fascists. We must never “unite” with white supremacists. We must always “argue” with patriarchy.

sad to report that workshop signups have been way down since the start of the new year. please don't forget about the small, regular amounts of aid to mutual aid groups which need thousands a day to provide for their people! upcoming workshops here: workshops4gaza.com/workshops

Chapeau! The president at Berlin University stands her ground preventing the police from entering the building explaining that she hasn't called them, that they are unwanted, and that students in solidarity with Palestine pose no threat.

Here is a picture of my niece who was born today in Gaza❤️. Unlike most newborns who arrive crying, she was unusually calm, as if her quiet gaze held silent messages. Despite being born amidst war and suffering, she looked at us as if to say: "Be calm; this war is nearing its end... Be calm; justice will soon spread across the world... Be calm; the sun of freedom is coming soon💔".

It’s not okay to murder Arab men either, by the way.

Wowee! What a wild Senate Estimates.
🔴 @ourANU VC says "almost 5000 employees" - but 2023 was 5214 FTE. They've shed more than 200 FTE in 2024 *before* 'Renew ANU'.
🔴 VC attempts to distance herself from the Chancellor's comments that staff are "inefficiencies", just RFI.

I wrote a book on how John Kerry blew the 2004 election by catering to the right, ignoring the antiwar vote, and outhawking Bush. Twenty years later, Kamala Harris is following the same losing playbook.

i'm not talking about punishing harris and liberals, or teaching democrats, or whatever else. i wish they would change; but when i say that i can't bring myself to do this thing, i'm telling you because i cannot bring myself to affirmatively condemn palestine and lebanon to death

I've been quiet on here because my life has been turned upside down. My daughter Zoe is in prison 💔
She's being treated like a terrorist for taking action against an Israeli arms firm
Read the petition or this 🧵 1/

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Zoe Rogers is accused of participating in a violent raid which left police and employees suffering injuries having been attacked with a sledgehammer. Although “aggravated burglary” is the charge it was politically motivated, hence the suggestion it constitutes terrorism.

Here's the moment Lidia Thorpe shouted after King Charles III delivered his speech in Parliament House just after 2pm. She can be heard saying, "This is not your land. You are not my king. You are not our king". #auspol
