We are not even a week into the second Trump administration and the President of Colombia is telling Trump that he will never shake is hand because “I don’t shake hands with white slavers,” which, to be clear, is a bar
Colombian President Gustavo Petro's full post ordering an increase of import tariffs on U.S. goods, says he doesn't really like traveling to the U.S. because it's “a bit boring” and invokes the ancestors

I edited this comic for poet Jehad Abu Dayya and artist Esraa Elbanna, currently displaced in Deir alBalah. They wrote and drew it together from their tents. It is a very intentional work with many layers to it, I hope you read it (1/5)

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: www.workshops4gaza.com/workshops

i keep forgetting to check this platform im sorry. i’d like my 2025 resolution to be not to use social media at all. but even though i no longer suffer from the delusion that maybe if we all keep posting the right way we won’t have to keep watching arab kids die, i still feel a need to do it.

This is the lash photograph of Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh, taken as he walks, unflinching, towards the Israeli tanks. An absolutely harrowing image.

I'm still not seeing posts in Arabic in Blue Sky. When I posted in Arabic the formatting seemed awkward (couldn't do right to left script). This excludes a great many people. What's being done about it?

The idea that people in need are at a deficit of credibility is part-and-parcel of the racism that fuels this genocide.
It's not to say scams don't exist. But the entitlement to accuse others of things with 0 proof, that your "gut" supersedes their stories is something else entirely.

Once again- calling people from Gaza frauds is incredibly cruel. If you don’t have any proof please do not do it. Gazans have had so much stolen from them please do not also take their identities.

What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

Gaza needs 600 aid trucks daily.
Biden only required Israel to let in 350 per day.
Israel allowed an average of just 56 aid trucks into Gaza per day during the 30 days afterward.
Biden still refused to hold Israel accountable.
