This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

On his first day in office, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani revoked all of the executive orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after his indictment in 2024 — including measures that sought to crack down on pro-Palestine protests and advocacy.

Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia. Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

1/3 If #Advent can invite deeper spiritual practice, perhaps it can femmifest #Hope #Peace #Joy #Love within us. Hope in a world that is rapidly melting and fracturing requires discipline. Hope might be an internal vision that is required for kindom [sic], the beloved community, & a free Palestine.

“Solidarity with Palestine reflects the very realities that queerness is not just about sexuality or identity but about dismantling oppressive structures globally, and that is a common understanding within queer liberation and Palestine liberation movement.” Palestine matters to queer folk. 🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Why Palestine Matters So Much to Queer People

Palestinian identity can “upend the whole world order, if done right, if spun right, if we activate it enough. And I think queerness is a very similar kind of identity.”

My exposure to the #keffiyeh for decades was primarily thru mass media. Images of endless conflict, men with guns in headscarves. But it is also a symbol of #hope and #solidarity for #Palestine. An ancient textile worn by farmers. Art connected to land: fishnets, olive leaves, trails. #advent #hope
