As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

The day after Donald Trump announced his plan for a ceasefire, Israel struck more homes in Gaza City, reportedly killing dozens, including a three-month-old baby. In a new essay, @mosababutoha.bsky.social shares what’s happening to people he knows in Gaza.

There is No Peace in Gaza

Since President Trump announced his plan for a ceasefire, people I know have continued to be killed. One described torture during a year in Israeli custody.

This is Pringle. He was found as a stray with a dislocated femur and severely damaged hip socket. Despite being in a lot of pain, he just wants to kiss everyone he meets. He needs surgery to repair his hip, then he can focus on giving out smooches. You can help him below ❤️‍🩹

the brown pittie mix is having his heart listened to by a vet tech. it doesn't matter that the person has a job to do, Pringle takes his opportunity to kiss the person's face. his tongue has been captured mid-lick on the person's chin.

an x-ray of Pringle's hip reveals his right femur is dislocated.

a brown pit bull mix with white on his chin and chest lays on an x-ray table. two humans support him from behind. he looks at the camera with a severely pouty face, and tall floppy ears.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

That is tricky. If only humans could be better. It helps me to understand that when someone is being awful to another person, it is always, without fail, because of how that person feels about themselves, and not the person they're abusing. Wishing you well.
