The impacts of climate change are already here and air quality in countries around the world will worsen. No country can solve the climate crisis on its own, which is why we must work together.
the massacre? the tent massacre? oh did you mean the flour massacre? no—that’s not the one they killed the global kitchen workers—the other one. have you been able to keep track of them all? or has it blurred together to one big nightmare?
y’all...zahra has those disney princess cartoon eyes. it’s fucking ridiculous how cute she is. do blue birds and squirrels follow her around all day??? probably idk.
let’s start saying it out loud. palestinians have every right to defend themselves (by any means necessary) from the terroristic ethnostate that disguises itself as “the only democracy in the middle east.” palestinian resistance will outlast this regime.
this week has really made me question my ability to live and exist in the west. it has never been so painfully clear that we are “others” and their humanity doesn’t extend to people that don’t look like them
fucking devastated to say this—another day, another name. jamel floyd was killed in brooklyn tonight while he was ALREADY behind bars. that’s two black men dead at the hands of the nypd in two days.

i hate how white people play respectability politics…“this is how you want to honor your friend?” as if there’s shame in mobilizing their anger and grief.
gaza has changed everything. the way i eat, the way i shower, the way i go out with friends. i do the dishes with a thin stream of water. i eat pita bread knowing that it’s a lifeline. i don’t want the things i used to, none of it matters anymore.
My favorite story to tell is that the Statue of Liberty was actually a gift for egypt and egypt didn’t want it so the French gave it to the Americans but it’s still modeled after an Egyptian woman
ur not gonna get drafted and ww3 isn’t gonna start. this could blow over w a minor retaliation from Iran or it could set off another occupation. regardless u won’t be involved and the middle east will once again be covered by blood from brown bodies caught in American imperialism
what do u call the concept of when ur making a dua and then it goes from you to your family to that cousin you saw one time to the entire ummah in 35 seconds flat
ya allah please rain your blessings down in abundance on our brothers and sisters. ya allah make them steadfast in their belief in you and grant them sabr for their pain and trauma. ya allah forgive me for taking the simplest of blessings for granted.
muslims were labeled jihadists for being vocal against the american war crimes in iraq. muslims were sent to guantanamo for far fucking less. what a fucking joke.
literally what r u gonna do? call us terrorists? isolate us? shun us? ok. then what. right back at you. look at what you fund. look at the blood on your hands.
400,000 people in DC today. The largest Palestine protest in the history of the United States.
This Despite the cold weather, the flight and metro cancellations, the supposed fatigue after 100 days of protest. The movement for Palestine will not go away until Palestine is free.
the egyptian pyramids are 4500 years old and no one can figure out how they were built. the great wall of china was built in 2000 years. the aztec pyramids are architectural marvels and are incredibly preserved. decenter europe from ur views.
the same “progressive” politicians that show up for eid and ramadan took one look at us standing up for justice and labeled us terrorist sympathizers. i won’t forget that.

this isn’t the first time this doctor has come across my timeline—i hate you could see how much he’s pleading with his eyes. it’s so unfair
Sometimes i think about the time my racist neighbor told my mom “learn to speak English, i can’t understand you” and my mom responded “shut up and talk to me when you get your doctorate” and honestly that’s the only reason I’m in grad school rn
Adele reveals to Rolling Stone that “I Drink Wine” from her new album ‘30’ was originally 15 minutes long.
“Unfortunately, she was told to cut it down to around six. “[The label] was like, ‘Listen, everyone loves you, but no one’s playing a 15-minute song on radio.'”
just reflecting…but i did “what we were supposed to”…integrating and participating in my community, putting down roots, voting. wtf happened? we weren’t just sold out, we were effectively shunned.
someone once told me that on the day of judgement when we are resurrected, our martyrs will emit light from their injuries. may Jamal be the brightest of us.
The Palestinian who was zip tied and run over by an Israeli tank has been identified, his name is Jamal Hamdi Hassan Ashour (62 years old), who resides near the 'Saq Allah' mosque in the Zaytoun neighborhood.
suddenly everyone is posting about the children. what about the mothers and the fathers and the grandparents and the distant cousins and the neighbors street cats and the trees. life in gaza is decimated. we’ve been using 35,000 as an estimate since march with no true update.
fordham administration witnessed columbia and ccny students get brutalized by the nypd/srg last night and still made the decision to escalate instead of negotiating with students
