vah vah oy verdiğin siyasi lider içeri mi alındı? şey benimki yıllardır içeride zaten. ülkemizde sıradan bir gün sadece. “Türkiye yattık Rusya uyandık” falan biraz komik oluyor. ne zaman Rusya değildik, ben bir şey mi kaçırdım?

Şahane bir söyleşi olmuş :) Sanatsever dostlar, okuyunuz:

The richest man in the world being a Nazi and at the right hand of the fascist President is maybe the most potent lesson in the evils of capitalism and the lengths that the ruling class will go to hoard their wealth and keep their power.

I’ve faced shadowbans on Instagram for years for posting about Palestine, but the last 14 hours have been on another level. It’s easy to conclude that Meta is actively suppressing awareness of the ceasefire.

Journalist Anas Al-Sharif removes his helmet and announces a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. His voice steady as his fellow Palestinians lift him into the air in celebration. For 15 months, the Al-Jazeera correspondent has reported on the genocide of his people in Gaza.

If when I wake up tomorrow, for the first time in 467 days, the first thing I see isn’t a count of the martyrs, then I’ll believe it’s real.

It’s mind blowing how Americans are now arguing which POTUS should get credit for this ceasefire deal. Pretty sure Palestinians couldn’t care less. Also, what CREDIT are we talking about after funding 15-months of genocide? This is just the bare minimum.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Kneecap was the most entertaining film I’ve watched this year and deserves all the major awards. If it fails to receive any, it’s probably because Zionists in the industry fear those “low life scums” will go on stage and mention Palestine in their speech

I wonder why

Israel has issued multiple evacuation orders for Beirut. These are some of them, meaning Israel will bomb them anytime now

"En başından beri iç içe geçmiş politik tarihlerimizin, derlemede yer alan kadın hareketleriyle ilgili diğer yazılarda anılmış olmasını bekliyor ve temenni ediyorum. Ancak, bir ortak tarihimiz olduğu kadar, tamamen özerk, kendi dinamikleriyle şekillenmiş ve anlatılmaya değer kendi hikayemiz de var."

Imagine losing 50 to 100 members of your community every day for over a year. How can one grasp the scale of killing and loss of life in Gaza? Beyond the murdered are the injured, missing, amputated, disabled, elderly, children, and pregnant—imagine the unimaginable suffering they endure daily.

Recent restrictions on HRT meds will have severe repercussions for the trans community in Turkey. Please read and share this thread:

good morning 🏳️‍⚧️
yesterday the turkish government banned the selling of hormones without a prescription. i and most other trans women i know were able to access HRT through pharmacies by self medication. in turkey it is almost impossible to access trans healthcare with legal procedures

Some photos I took at Madame Leyla’s amazing solidarity event last week! She served yummy vegan dishes from her hometown Antakya, with all proceeds supporting her essential needs as a trans refugee. @lanaissance.bsky.social will be back cooking soon—Barcelona folks, don’t miss La Cuina Solidària! 🌱✨

It took FIFA 5 seconds to suspend Russia after the 2nd invasion of Ukraine, and yet Israel is still a member.

In addition to maiming or murdering *multiple* Palestinian footballers over the years, they just put Celine Haidar, a 19yo player for the Lebanon woman's team, in a coma after a strike.

Let me use this trainwreck of a decision to remind you:
Dr. Oz is an Erdoğan ally and a denier of the Armenian genocide. This clown couldn’t be more perfectly cast for a role in Trump’s fascist circus.
