The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

It was terrifying. I ended some 20 yr old friendships, dumped my therapist, completely went invisible at work, blocked dozens of people on social media to avoid being surveilled. After a while stopped explaining myself.

It was a genocide then. It is a genocide now. It was never about antisemitism

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

He took a year off bw jobs so he can support my mom going through a demanding time at her job and took care of my 12 year old emo hormonal version and did most of the housework while giving zero fucks about people trying to emasculate him about this

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

Fuck Christopher Columbus all day and every day, but ESPECIALLY today. The native lands of what became North and South America were not “discovered” or “explored”, they were invaded and colonised. Indigenous people had been living there with their own cities and civilisations for centuries before.

Tweet from Bari Weiss making the debunked “baby in oven” claim:

Here is Refaat Alareer joking about whether or not an Israeli baby, burned alive in an oven, was cooked "with or without baking powder."

Tweet from Refaat:

If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes.
Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.

Ramy Abdul:
On this day, I had to deliver the heaviest news of my life: the assassination of my beloved friend, Refaat Alareer.
This genocide has taken dozens of loved ones, yet l only broke down in tears for Refaat. Not because his loss is personal, but because I know what his absence means for Gaza and the Palestinian narrative.
Committed to the promise and the path.

If a ceasefire holds, you boycott Israel HARDER, you divest, you push for sanctions. You don't perform for apartheid. You don't whitewash genocide. You don't pretend like Israel isn't still a violent occupier stealing land and collectively punishing Palestinians daily

I don't know if he can see it, but I can see his average heart rate has gone up by 30ppm in the 3 years (up to 150), and his run totals per month are half the distance they used to be.
