lol thank you! I was looking through my camera roll to see what image I could use to boost this, and she was in my saved album that I use to try to prove to my family that my son ALSO looks like me and isn't just a carbon copy of my husband (which rudely he is) 😂

Just finished reading Huna by Abdelrahman ElGendy — about his imprisonment in Cairo 13 years ago today — & it’s the best thing I’ve read in years. Couldn’t put it down. Today it was named national book awards finalist. Go get a copy — did a reel on insta for anyone interested.

This is a fundraiser that’s especially important to fill gaps in health left by drastic cuts in support to UNRWA due to their maligning by fascists everywhere and especially the occupation. This is how we can keep this crucial institution functional.

As we approach the third anniversary of this genocide of children, of parents, of childhoods, of kids who are our kids, I rambled with Elia about our feelings of hurt, of connection and disconnection from other parents, of inadequacy. This is a raw one, grateful for the space to chat

As someone who spends a time talking to formerly detained folks I think often about what it means to be able to recover from this man made horror. Good therapy is a necessary & often unattainable. Thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social for amplifying. www.mightycause.com/story/Rebuil...

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

I've been saying this too. If anything its going to get worse with the executive orders; will def not make Trump less belligerent. (that's before we get to the fact that they've proposed body cams as the answer...)

America today is a country where regulators won't allow private companies to air interviews of the opposition on TV, but declare that taxpayer funded propaganda is fine.

Talking to a man who was on one of the deportation to a third country flights - as usual super strong asylum claim - and he describes watching ICE officers beat men who tried to protest being forced on a flight to place they'd never even heard before. Everything about this is so fucked.

Tennessee's last botched execution was way back in [checks notes] May. "Mark Fowler, the doctor who was involved in Carruthers’ attempted execution, also oversaw Pike’s — at this time — attempted death sentence."

Doctor involved in Tony Carruthers’ botched execution administered Christa Pike’s lethal injection — and she’s still alive

Ihnen confirmed the team is filing a motion to stay the execution, the latest in a back-and-forth over the “Jobs Corps Murder” convict’s execution.

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

Like people saying “how could this happen at Cornell?” And it’s like of course it happened at Cornell. Just like it happened at Columbia and Yale etc

This isn’t an accident or a shocking thing. This is how it’s worked forever. For men to think they can text each other about a woman’s body like that, “locker room talk” but also war for profit, labor deaths for profit. These are the titans of capital.

What were not talking about is that the Ivy League, by design, with its construction of “status” and “value” is designed to create men for whom there are no consequences & to dehumanize everyone else. This the Cornell 7. Thus the expulsion of anyone who dares protest genocide. This is privilege.

I know the basic beats to the Cornell story but I haven't been able to make myself read through the whole thing. I'm so proud of the Cornell Sun staff and sent them a donation to support. Just want to let fellow survivors out here know it's ok to need to protect yourselves. PTSD is a bear. 💗

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.
