“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Tweet from Quds News Network @QudsNen
BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Most people are rightly horrified when they learn the real situation in Palestine and are forced to see the human toll of Zionism. They see the Jim Crow South and apartheid South Africa in the daily insults & abuses of occupation, the Third Reich in the obsessive race laws and genocidal bombings.

A Pew Research Center survey last week reported that nearly six out of 10 Americans, 59%, now hold a negative view of Israel, while
39% believe it is "going too far" in its war in Gaza - compared with 31% who held the same view a year ago, and 27% who thought this just two months after the war started. A poll from the same organization in 2022 showed 42% with negative views.
The anti-Israel swing is confirmed by other polls. A recent New York Times/Siena poll showed pro-Palestinians sympathies outscoring support for Israel - albeit narrowly, by 35% to 34%.
An Economist/You Gov poll in August found that 45% of the public believe Israel is committing genocide - a charge Israel vociferously denies - compared with only 31% who disagreed. About four in 10 American Jews believe the same, according to a new Washington Post poll. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/08/us-israel-relationship

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 20h

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A$ shut down in Canada partly after outrage over obtaining 12K DNA samples of children from hospitals, to isolate the Autism gene. They may have removed the word “cure” from their mission statement in 2016, but the actions continue to reflect an org set on eradicating ASD and silencing us.

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

Finally, autism has arrived

A happy little puppy jumping out of a leaf pile with maple, oak and birch leaves! A surprised woolly bear caterpillar is also going flying. The puppy has a pumpkin on his head and his paws are against his cheeks in delight and excitement. Around him are the words IT'S FINALLY AUTISM!
