WTF is the head of FIFA doing at the summit?
FIFA President Gianni Infantino attending Donald Trump’s so-called “Gaza peace summit” in Egypt.

But sure, tell us again how “football and politics don’t mix.”
Absolutely insane.

The war is not over yet. The bombing is still ongoing. The situation is still difficult.
I am still displaced. My city, Rafah, has not been liberated yet. It is under the control of the army.
The plane flies low and its sound is very scary

Jihad is my sweet little friend, he sends voicenotes saying "Hello Rose, I love you" 😭🥰 and I try to reply in Arabic.

Tomorrow he will be four, his dream is to eat chicken again and he wants to be a Dr so he can treat his brother Jamal's diabetes 💔

Let's help Dr. Jihad have a good birthday.

GOOD.

Some much needed good news, though this is of course not over yet.

Keep being vocal against the Ellisons' attempts at monopoly. Keep calling your congresspeople.

Perhaps let's send Paramount Skydance physical letters to back off of buying WBD. 👀✍️💌

Unless we fight back there will only be state-run media deciding what we can or cannot see.

We are fighting so many battles right now but free speech, free elections and a free, independent press are the most important. Without these, nothing else will matter.

Once you replace ethnonationalist urges with a clear and consistent commitment to equal right and liberties it does wonders for your understanding of the world and your own people.

Again, reject ethnonationalism and embrace the inherent diversity of indigineity and pluralism.

What really bothers me in using AI to "smooth over" an artist's work, even beyond the AI of it all, is it makes it look LESS like the thing they're trying to ape, aka old movie posters, which means it's less successful at conveying the thing they're ostensibly trying to do.

We used to have this thing, like a law or something, that tried to prevent one company from owning everything. What was that thing called?

"My children are dead!"

A Palestinian prisoner released today was expecting to embrace his family, only to find out they had been killed weeks ago in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

Indeed. The issue is not "Jews are white and Palestinians are brown" the issue is the state of Israel, defined constitutionally as a Jewish state in its political, legal, and social character is as a result explicitly exclusionary and creates 2nd and 3rd tiers of life. It is racial, just arbitrary.

What it means is quite literally that you can, in fact, find people of physical traits you wouldn't expect in almost every ethnic group in the world. There are Saudis who are natural blondes and Finns whose grandparents were all born there who are remarkably swarthy. It just happens.

These oligarchs are disgraceful

Alright, CALL TO LETTER ACTION!

Write a letter to Paramount-Skydance, telling them in no uncertain terms to BACK OFF of trying to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, otherwise you'll commit to a boycott of their media.

2900 Olympic Blvd. Santa Monica CA 90404

Have fun :)

God it's so gross hearing reporters talk about Israeli "hostages" but then refer to Palestinian "prisoners held without charge" like what's the material difference between these two categories?
